He has argued 18 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court on a broad range of matters and was part of the team that successfully presented then-Governor Bush’s position in Bush v. Gore (2000).

He is a Trustee of the Supreme Court Historical Society, and a member of the Board of Visitors of the Harvard Law School.  Legal Times named him one of the top twelve appellate litigators in the D.C. area, and Washingtonian Magazine named him one of the top constitutional law lawyers. Most recently, he was selected by his peers for inclusion in the 2007 edition of The Best Lawyers in America.

Estrada served as a law clerk to the Honorable Anthony M. Kennedy in the U.S. Supreme Court and to the Honorable Amalya L. Kearse in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
