Family Dispute

Unfortunately, relationships and break ups can be devastating and can create a lot of problems when there are children involved. In my case, I came out of a domestic partnership in which the process of separation was cruel on myself and my children. My ex created a lot problems for me and the childre...n and used the legal system to punish me. Though I had no control of it, there were consequences. At a moment where I thought those consequences would turn heavier on me, I called Jose Rivas. He did what my previous attorneys could not do. He was able to patiently and effectively negotiate with my ex partner. We were able to work things out as parents and re-establish a positive communication that has changed the bad into good and has made everyone, including our children very happy. Mr. Rivas explained to me the best alternative to handle the matter and I am more than grateful for his services, expertise, patience, and ability to represent his clients at its best.

My lawyer - my savior

Awesome attorney with a great staff. My daughter and I had our house raided and were charged with felonies. Jose was patient and professional and did a wonderful job for us and afterward got the records expunged. Now that my daughter was caught driving under the influence, I didn't even think about w...ho to call! I highly reccomend the Rivas law firm and they are the only lawyers I would ever use again. They may not be the least expensive, but remember, you get what you pay for.

Honest

I hired Mr. Rivas for a criminal case. He told me the worst case scenario and the best case scenario. He is very honest and knowledgeable. I was very happy with the outcome of my case considering the charges. I have referred several people to him for assistance and will continue to do so!
