Alicia is a very competent lawyer

I reached out to many lawyers about my case and she was the only confident enough to take on my case. She’s truly cares about her clients and is very professional. She will take the time to explain what is important and does not waste your time. She won my case by the way.

Ms.Lucero was my attorney for several family cases/child support. She was honest, professional, dedicated,trustworthy, available and always strived to win all of them. She always explained and gave her honest advice to the possibility of outcome. I was very blessed to been given her information. I hi...ghly recommend her.

Best Attorney

Alicia is a very honest at front professional that will tell you straight up every detail of your case. She takes her job very seriously and will deliver results to the best of her abilities. I'm very satisfied with the way she handled all of my cases regarding family law and I would recommend her in... a hard beep because I know she will fight for your case as though as she fought for mine. If you are looking for an attorney you can trust and rely on then you just found her.

Extraordinary attorney! Highly Recommended!!

Ms. Lucero has been my attorney for several Family Cases I have had during the past 3 years. I was blessed to have been given her number after being frighten and worried about a case that was filed with a trial date just a few weeks around the corner, in which I had no knowledge of. Being unsure o...f signing a retainer with her, Ms. Lucero was very clear and straight forward about the possibility of the outcome. She was also confident enough to transmit to a concern parent about the job she would hold; the honesty of the case and what could be the outcome and not just "painting the flowers in pink” to you, but also the time she would put in, the crucial feedback communications, the flexibility she was willing to have and most important she would only do what the client tells her what to do. I knew then that she was the attorney that was for me, and not one of those hungry for cash, crooked, unprepared or uncaring about the case or the clients wishes. She gave the confidence that she could take up the challenge and explained the law and was reassuring that she would do the best to win it. Ms. Lucero demonstrated to be all that and more, my expectations of what an attorney should be like was not even remotely close as what she proved it should be at the end. Each case she gets she tries to spread them out sufficiently to be able to prepare, to be available to your needs, questions, comments, concerns and is a whole week of preparation before trial. Her flexibility, punctuality, dedication, research, honesty, recommendations, determination, organization are only half of the qualities she has proven every time and not only with ALL of my cases but others that i have recommended. Ms. Lucero is a phenomenal attorney whom I would recommend 100%+. It does not matter if she wins or loses the case; her efforts go all the way and she expects another round at it if necessary. I highly recommend her and guarantee that if GOD and she allow it; she will continue to be our (child and I) attorney.

Highly Recommended!

My wife hired Alicia Lucero to handle an extremely complex family law case. We had dealt with several attorneys in the past, some of whom were competent attorneys who were nevertheless negligent in protecting her rights. These lawyers ranged from an attorney who was so incompetent and negligent that ...he had to be temporarily disbarred for his conduct, to a Maryland Superlawyer who conducted himself honorably and competently, yet still didn't measure up to Ms. Lucero's standards of diligence. Alicia Lucero was professional and gave us excellent advice, and yet wasn't above listening to us. She informed us, involved us, and worked with us intimately in crafting a legal strategy that was largely successful in a case where she didn't have adequate time to prepare, and was hamstrung by the failures of previous attorneys we had hired. Ms. Lucero was extremely knowledgeable, yet was secure enough to ask other colleagues for information and advice when she thought it appropriate to do so. This was a refreshing change from previous attorneys whose egos were so big that they felt that they had to maintain the illusion that they knew everything there was to know. Our case was very complex, and Ms. Lucero understood that, and put a lot of hard work into understanding those complexities - far more work than any other attorney we had worked with in the past. She was trustworthy, empathetic, kind and decent in every way, without losing any of her objectivity, which made a difficult situation much easier than it could have been. My wife and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced, thorough, and professional attorney. Without her, we were at a serious disadvantage because the opposition's legal conduct was very aggressive. Upon retaining her, she made it her business to advocate strongly and effectively for our interests. As a result, our opposition hates her, but we love her!
