Family law

A friend referred me to Elizabeth Guerrero when a serious issue arose in regards to my child. I did not know what steps to take or how to proceed. I wrote her an email expaining the situation. She responded quickly and we set up an immediate consultation. She took the time to answer all my questions ...and explain what would happen in court... she not only explained how she could help but also explained steps that I could take if I chose to represent myself. I found this very admirable. I did hire her. The first time I had to appear in court I was very nervous. She took a lot of extra time to go over every little detail beforehand and was incredibly patient with me. She represented my case professionally and was very evident that she had done her homework on my case. Which is something I find that a lot of people cannot say of their lawyer. I've heard of several other people saying that could not get in touch with your lawyer or if they felt as though their lawyer did not care about their case. With Elizabeth it is a complete opposite. She is very professional yet when you speak to her you know that she's actually listening to what you're saying and that she's taking you seriously . She Knows Your Case inside and out. Over the last few years there has been more than a few times where I've had to appear in court and she has been there every step of the way. She has represented me fairly and with conviction. It has been very evident that she is passionate about her job it is always at the top of her game. I have recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so.
