Best Referral I Ever Had - Christie Guerrero

There is a New Generation of Family Law Experts in NE Florida and Christie Guerrero is leading the Pack. I don’t want to draw comparisons, so I will say Christie is establishing the Best Practice and format for the law, TODAY. So much has changed in this area, leaving gaps for both interpretation and... leverage. I benefited greatly in a Contested case because of my Counsel’s Outstanding research ability and aggressive approach. We knew what the opportunities were in advance and succeeded with Christie’s rock-solid direction. Her automations for appointment scheduling and communications help reduce unnecessary touches- just a Bonus on top.

Outstanding Attorney!

From the second I met Christie, I knew I was in great hands! I had been married for almost 25 years and a stay at home mom for 21 of those years. When I went to meet with her the only thing I knew was I had to get out of my marriage. I was scared about how I would survive on my own with two kids i...n college and one a senior in high school. The very first thing Christie did was put 90% of those fears to rest. She gave me a game plan and promised me that she would help me get through it all. As I left her office that day, I left feeling stronger and more confident. That day for the first time since deciding to file for divorce, I knew that I would be able to be free of the hell I'd lived in for so many years and not end up without a home or money to live on. When I would worry about something - no matter how small it may have been, Christie would calm my nerves by telling me how the law worked and how no matter what he may have been saying to me, it was the law that would protect me and be on my side. From day one until the last detail was taken care of Christie and her assistant were there for me 100%. I cannot say enough great things about her and the staff she has. I have given her number out to friends as well as people I didn't know that well who found themselves in need of a top notch attorney. She was always prepared for ever single thing that came up. During mediation she gave me advice on how I should handle certain things and ever single detail of what she advised me on came out to be in my best interest. Letting go of the things she said I should was exactly what I needed to do and ended up favoring me in the end. Deciding to file for a divorce isn't an easy decision but for me, it ended up being the best thing for me as well as my children. Because of the hard work and dedication of Christie and her staff, I can breathe a little easier every single day. Hiring an attorney isn't cheap and I am a big believer in you get what you pay for. One of the many things that impressed me about their office was I felt like they were using my money wisely and not once did I feel like I was being taken advantage of. I even ended up with money left over. How many attorneys can you say that about? So if you are in need of an attorney and you want one with integrity, that is caring and compassionate, that is honest, off the charts smart, knows the law inside and out and that will fight for you, then Christie Guerrero is exactly who you want in your corner.

Knowledge Passion Results

My daughter was thrown into the throes of a nasty, unforeseen divorce. A friend recommended Christie, and thank God she did. As a mother and a paralegal from out of state, I was extremely aware that she needed a capable and caring attorney for the nightmare that was about to come. On our first vi...sit to interview Christie I immediately recognized that Christie was that person. She was bright, knowledgeable and proactively protective of my daughter. We signed immediately without hesitation. Hiring Christie was one of the best decisions that we ever made. During this time period, my ex- son-in-law has gone through three attorneys and even acted as his own attorney. Christie has stood toe-to-toe against three opposing attorneys (and my ex- son-in-law) and has always come out on top. (By the way, the opposing attorneys charged about twice as much as Christie.) For every deceptive ploy that my ex-son-in-law tried, Christie had at least two legal remedies. She never resorted to being defensive. She skillfully took the offensive position. I agreed with and lauded her reasoning, and more importantly, so did the judges. Christie was also very cognizant of the fact that my daughter (unlike my ex- son-in-law) had limited funds. Christie tried to keep costs down and suggested alternative paths at almost every juncture. I recommend Christie without reservation. She is everything that I would hope for in an attorney for my daughter. My gut instincts were ultimately correct. Then again, Mother knows best (and so does Christie).

Excellent and detail oriented

I hired Mrs. Guerrero two years ago. My case seemed to get larger and more complex each month as details were uncovered. She was there every step of the way, on top of even the finest details, empowered me, reassured me of my rights as a mother and represented me well in front of the judge. Ms. Guerr...ero has a talent for sorting through all of the details, pulling out the relevant and useful information when needed and works very well under pressure. At times, I felt like I was her only client. I continue to use her services as my ex is often in contempt. It is very reassuring to use her as my only attorney throughout the divorce and after. The best advice I can give is to share everything with her so she can represent you well without any surprises. She was recommended to me and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a divorce attorney.
