About Antonio
Antonio Maldonado built a legal pathway that crosses borders and legal systems. He combined early training in Mexico with graduate study in the United States. The result is a practice shaped by experience on both sides of the border.
Maldonado earned his LL.B. in 1996 from Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey. He later pursued an LL.M. at American University, completing that degree in 2001. Those credentials reflect formal training in civil-law and common-law environments.
His career began in firms that operated in Mexico. In 2003 he became a partner at Maldonado Leyva y Asociados S.C., an early leadership role that placed him in firm management and client-facing work. Two years later he joined Maldonado & Markham LLP as a partner, continuing his path in private practice and building experience in cross-jurisdictional matters.
By 2012 he took the title of principal lawyer at Maldonado Law Group PC. That role signaled a shift toward running an office and overseeing a team. In 2017 he moved into another partnership, joining Maldonado Myers LLP. The successive positions indicate steady advancement and a mix of firm leadership and hands-on legal work.
Maldonado is admitted to practice in New York, California, and Mexico, and he holds admission to the Ninth Circuit. He has been a member of the State Bar of California since 2005, and his record shows additional bar membership dating back to 2003. Those admissions allow him to handle matters at both trial and appellate levels in multiple jurisdictions.
Throughout his career he has worked across transactional and litigation matters that require coordination between different legal systems. He has served clients needing counsel on cross-border issues, regulatory compliance, and disputes that may involve federal courts. His appellate admission to the Ninth Circuit also informs the appellate aspects of his work.
He maintains an office location listed on business records and practices from a firm environment. Maldonado currently practices at Maldonado Myers LLP, where his work addresses cross-border litigation and transactional matters, regulatory questions, and appellate work in federal and state courts.
