Excellent Divorce Attorney

When things got difficult with my marriage, Aileen stepped in and started navigating me through the divorce process. I interviewed many attorneys, but Aileen was the only one that was able to give me step by step detail of what I would be experiencing. Also, her price was fair. I hired her immedia...tely. Aileen worked quickly and efficiently. I told her I wanted to file for divorce and the next day he got served. Aileen walked me through everything and kept me in the loop the entire time. Marlene, her Parallegal, was also very well informed and I turned to her for advice many times. I felt like I was not alone in the process. In the end, my husband and I decided not to get a divorce. Aileen was fair about the retainer and wished me all the best. I will definitely hire her anytime in the future I need such stellar, excellent representation, with out hesitation. Thank you Aileen and Marlene, for all your hard work and unparalleled services.

Aileen is AMAZING

I was extremely worried about losing my home after my husband passed away. Aileen promised she would do all that she could to help me stay in my home. And that she did. She kept me informed every step of the way.

You will be in good hands

When no other firm would take my case, by the grace of God Aileen Perez came to my mind. I had used her over 10 yrs ago on a different case and remember how professional and tough she was when handling my case. When I contacted her for my new case, without any hesitation she said she would help me. I... had nothing but excellent feed back from her on my case. She was on top of phone calls, emails and important documents. She took her time and went on and beyond to make sure my case was taken care of. She really cares for her clients and I’ve notice from day one when I sat in her office. She explains herself very professional and at most times calmed me down from being upset on my situation. Mrs. Perez took care of my case days and night and even worked when sick. She without a dought will not disappoint you. If you want someone that works hard, and willing to help you then I truly and highly recommend attorney Aileen Perez. I will definitely hire her again in the future if needed.

Truly saved the day

My lawyer, Aileen Perez, truly saw the good in me as I’m sure she sees in all her clients and turned the circumstances to my favor. My poor judgment led me to throw garbage out of my car window onto a freeway which could’ve caused major traffic or worse dangerous conditions for drivers besides myself.... The actions were caught by an officer which led to my court date. Ms. Perez’s professionalism and composure made me confident about my chances from the moment I discussed my case with her. She’s truly a representative for the people as she makes it clear to the courts that we are all human and make mistakes. She is honest about every step of the process with guidance and updates on any new information and with that said again through her genuine personality, kindness and professionalism she was able to have my case dismissed as if the event never happened. I am truly great full to have had her by my side that day and HIGHLY recommend Aileen Perez for anyone who needs representing in court. Thank you again so much for your time and efforts.

Unemployment Arbitration

I was referred to Aileen by a fiend at work. My wife's employer disputed unemployment claim after she was discharged from her job for unfair reasons. Aileen met with to review our situation , helped us sort out all the details and coached her through the phone interview. I was so pleased to find she ...had extensive experience with this kind of work! Even though the circumstances of my wife's discharge was so fabricated by her employer I had heard they never back down- big corporation with a lot of money to handle these kind of disputes. We spent almost an hour and at the end we felt positive but still not sure how it would go. The next day we were so happy to find we won our case and the money was deposited in her account! I'm really impressed with Aileen- she speaks both Spanish and English and that was a requirement for us; she is very quick to get up to speed on these situations and professional and great personality- She handles all other kinds of Leah's matter so I will be going to her again to next time I need an attorney!
