17 AVILA Attorneys Recognized in the Best Lawyers® in America 2025 List

Seventeen attorneys at Avila Rodriguez Hernandez Mena & Garro LLP (AVILA) were recognized in the 2025 Best Lawyers® list.  

Since 2006, several partners have been listed in various categories, including every key practice area at the firm: Banking & Finance; Commercial Litigation; Corporate Law, Mergers & Acquisitions; Immigration; and Real Estate, Zoning & Land Use.  

Two AVILA attorneys earned their first mentions in the Best Lawyers® 2025 edition: 

  • Corporate Law, Finance and M&A Partner Manny M. Rodriguez joins the Best Lawyers® ranks for the first time and is included in the International Mergers and Acquisitions category. 
  • Marcos Lopez was included in this year’s list of Ones to Watch® in America, in the Banking and Finance Law category. Ones to Watch® recognizes attorneys in the earlier stages of their careers who have “already begun making waves in a vast ocean of colleagues, opposing counsel, clients, and law firms.”  

The following previously recognized AVILA lawyers made the 2025 list within new practice categories: 

  • Alcides I. Avila: Mergers and Acquisitions Law (previously listed in Banking and Finance Law and Corporate Law categories.) 
  • Asnardo Garro: Corporate Law (previously listed in the Banking and Finance Law category.) 
  • Patricia M. Hernandez: Corporate Law (previously listed in the Banking and Finance Law category.) 
  • Daniel O. Mena: International Arbitration – Commercial (previously listed in the Commercial Litigation and Litigation – Banking and Finance categories.) 
  • Martha R. Mora: Litigation – Banking and Finance (previously listed in the Commercial Litigation category.) 
  • Rene V. Murai: Corporate Law (previously listed in the Banking and Finance, and Real Estate Law categories.) 

Best Lawyers® states their lists have been compiled by conducting exhaustive peer review™ surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. They believe that the quality of their survey directly relates to the caliber of voters, so only lawyers who were previously recognized by Best Lawyers® were invited to review their constituents for the 2025 recognitions. 

AVILA congratulates all attorneys nationwide who were included in this year’s list of Best Lawyers® in America. “We are honored by this continuous recognition, further testament of our commitment to providing the best possible service to our clients, and to upholding the highest standards of professionalism in our legal practice,” said Managing Partner Patricia M. Hernandez. “Congratulations to everyone who made the list this year, especially our newcomers who are already making waves!”
