We're Please with the service.

We hired Aileen Perez to represent us with our first Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case. We didn't know what to expect since we'd never done this before. She was thorough in giving us a detail explanation about this, and made me and my wife both feel comfortable and not ashamed for having to get into this si...tuation. Everything went through without hitch, and we're both happy to had gotten through this chapter of our lives so easily. Without reservations we recommend Aileen and we would definitely call again on her, should any legal matter arise in the future.

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!

An experienced and compassionate attorney

My experience with Ms. Perez has been very positive from the first moment I contacted her. Ms. Perez is a very thorough and competent professional who always had my best interests in mind. I was always informed by Ms. Perez and I always felt like I was in very good hands. She was always promptly at... scheduled meetings and she always took my calls. What I especially liked about Ms. Perez is her ability to remain calm in crisis situations. Ms. Perez is representing me in a foreclosure situation and her expertise has helped me manage a very difficult situation as her knowledge in this area is excellent. I am grateful for her service. She is a solid lawyer who practices nothing but the best customer service methods. I would highly recommend Ms. Perez.
