I was sorry of hearing of Tony's passing which I just learned of.  Seeing Tony in court was always a pleasure and he was always courteous, friendly and professional.  My condolences to the family and staff.  I shall miss him dearly.

Very sorry to hear this sad news. Tony and I grew up in the same neighborhood and attended high school together. He served as a mentor to me as he was a year older and helped me adjust to high school life. I have so many fond memories of him and will remain forever grateful for his friendship.A wonderful man to be sure! My heartfelt condolences and prayers for the Espinosa family.  Hank Cordeiro

I just heard this very sad  news from my friend Jerry Gonzalez 
I knew Tony way back when (believe it or not ) we were both lawyers working for the IRS in Newark 
Tony was always a guy who was a good friend as well as a good lawyer 
We both left government long ago and although both of us became criminal defense lawyers our practice areas were totally different and I only saw him periodically but he always was the same good guy I knew - I will miss him

Very sorry to learn of Tony’s passing. A true gentleman who was always great to work with. Reasonable, honorable, an old school attorney with an easy smile,  class and values.

I am so sorry for the loss of this great man Antonio Espinosa, our families the Sanchez‘s, the Milara‘s  and the Espinosas were so tight growing up. I still remember going to the house on New York Ave. and Pulaski to visit his father Antonio, Senior, and Mom Bessie. Just such a wonderful family such a wonderful man it’s a shame that he’s no longer with us. Rest in peace my friend the world will miss you my condolences to your family. God bless. I love you rest in peace.
I’m devestated about your passing

Tony was a true gentleman. Always kind and always professional and very passionate when he represented his clients. He was always courteous to me and even made friends with a client of mine who works at the water company who would frequent Tony's building. He would always joke he was using one of my Law Firm pens to sign an important document. He will be greatly missed by the entire community. I understand he was practicing law and working on his cases up until his final days. My condolences go out to his family.  John

My deepest condolences to Marcie and the rest of his family. Tony was my mentor and employer for many years and a friend for many more. We both came from the ironbound section and for that reason we shared friends and experiences. Tony was a true gentleman and a fine lawyer always looking to resolve issues in the most practical way. I will miss him but I know that he is at peace and his suffering has ended. May he rest in eternal peace 🙏 🙏 🙏

My condolences to Marcie and the entire family.  May he rest in peace.

As a colleague, Tony was the best—always a good sense of humor, courteous and practical about resolving issues. He brought great empathy to the family law part because he took his work very seriously. I did like to tease him when I learned he began his Christmas shopping on Dec 24! We had a number of cases together over the years. I will miss him as a friend, colleague and adversary.

I had the privilege of meeting Tony at the courthouse over 40 years ago, and I am happy to say we have been good friends throughout the years.  Tony was a true gentleman, who treated everyone he ever met with respect, and he was a fine lawyer,   Tony was recognized for his outstanding career by being named the 2024 Union County Bar Association Professional Lawyer of the Year,  and I was proud to sit next to him when he received that well deserved  honor.
Rest in peace, Tony, and sincere condolences to your wife and family,

Met him on a case as opposing counsel but he was never adversarial.  An unpretentious gentleman. My condolences to his loved ones.

Tony will be missed greatly. He was a great advocate for his clients but an even better colleague. Tony taught me a great deal about being a family lawyer. Always ready to do what he could to help or make things right. May god guide his family and bring them peace and comfort in this terrible time. I pray that he rest in peace.

My condolences to his family. 
I’ve known Tony professionally for approximately 30 years and always found him to be a gentleman and wise advocate. RIP.

I worked for the  sheriffs office in criminal court. Tony was one of the , kindest, respectful attorneys to appear in court. Treated everyone with respect., judges, clients, officers and adversaries. It was always a pleasure to have him in the courtroom

My deepest condolences to the family, he will be remembered as someone who always had a positive attitude, was always focused on those in need, and a good heart. Always remembered with love from his family in Argentina.

Thank you for being my friend brother. You were always there to help me and to share a laugh.  Rest in peace.

Love,
Herm

Tony will always be remembered as an upright man, of great character and education. My sincere condolences to his loved ones during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to Marci and the family.
The world has lost one of the kindest men I have ever known.
I will miss him.

I had the pleasure of knowing Tony on a professional level and interacted with him over many years.  He always had a warm smile, a great sense of humor, and truly cared about his clients.  I will miss talking with him about Real Madrid, Galicia, and just his overall presence.  The legal community lost a great man.  Tony was a true gentleman.
