About us

LEAL ISLA es un apellido de tradición en Monterrey. Surge con el Lic. Carlos Leal Isla, quién ejerció la profesión en forma destacada desde fines del siglo XIX hasta la década de 1930. Le siguieron sus hijos, los licenciados Rodolfo y Rubén Leal Isla, el primero como juez, Procurador de Justicia y Magistrado en el Estado de Nuevo León; y el segundo como juez y posteriormente Notario Público número 8 con ejercicio en Monterrey, de 1942 a 1980.

Dicho encargo fue continuado por el Lic. Rubén Leal Isla Macías, hasta 1994. Actualmente existen diversos abogados de apellido Leal Isla en Monterrey. Con más de 100 años de presencia continua en el medio jurídico del Estado, el apellido se consolida con el despacho LEAL ISLA & HORVÁTH, añadiendo a la tradición el valor de la internacionalidad, así como las prácticas en los cuales somos expertos reconocidos.
