The best of the best !

I highly recommend Mrs Aileen! She’s an amazing lawyer and very empathetic. She cares about her clients and does her job with sophistication. She has an amazing balance of professionalism and empathy which makes her an excellent lawyer to work with. She is very knowledgeable in her field and has a lo...t of experience. Great for simple and complicated cases! Couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer to represent me!

grateful to have found this firm

I'm deeply grateful for the compassionate and dedicated work of my son's lawyer. She not only guided us through this challenging case, but won it, bringing peace of mind to our family. Her professionalism and care made it all the difference, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Speeding ticket Zero points!

I was facing a pretty hefty speeding ticket. Ms. Perez-Gjikova was able to reduce my ticket earning me ZERO points and just a fine with no license suspension. Thank you so much for your support and professional guidance. I will be slowing down on the roads!

Exceptional divorce attorney who truly delivers!

Ms. Perez came highly recommended to me, and I am so grateful that I chose to work with her during what felt like a very serious and overwhelming divorce situation. I truly didn’t know what to expect going into the process, but Ms. Perez turned out to be exactly the attorney I needed.   Her approac...h, calm demeanor, and strong advocacy immediately helped put my mind at ease during a very stressful time. She genuinely made me feel like my situation mattered and that my best interests were always her priority. Throughout the entire process, she and her office staff communicated with me regularly, keeping me informed about each step and what to expect next.   What I appreciated most was her honesty and transparency. She helped me keep realistic expectations while still fighting for me, my assets, and my future. I felt supported every step of the way.   Given how difficult my situation felt at the start, I truly could not be happier with the outcome Ms. Perez was able to achieve for me. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated attorney, and I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
