Divorce

Celina is an AMAZING Attorney. I can not express in words how awesome Celina and her team are. I was in a jurisdiction battle between two states and she helped me win my case! She is quick to answer emails and always on top of her game. She knows what she is doing. I would definitely hire her again i...n a blink. She is always positive and a good listener. Thank you so much!

Highly Highly Recommend

Team Rios helped me get timesharing with my son and just in time for the holidays too. I could not have done this without Celina and her staff especially since my son’s mother’s attorney kept dragging the case. Celina Rios is attentive, knowledgeable, and accessible. I would call and text her and her... staff with any concerns or questions I had at any time day or night whether it was during the week or weekend. I highly recommend Team Rios!!!!

Excellent Attorneys

I can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am to Celina, Hazel and the rest of the staff at the Rios Law Firm. They are understanding, responsive and went above and beyond to help me establish my parental rights as a father and allow me to have shared custody for my daughter. For all legal family ...matters I will always refer to them.

Fire Ball Presentation and Approach at Consultation then Dropped the Ball during Representation

Celina Maria Rios presented a fire ball presentation when I attended the consultation to determine if I would hire her to represent me in a Child Support Case. I was excited that she appeared knowledgeable of Child Support Law and I consider her a subject matter expert in the field. My case involv...ed my two daughters whose mother filed a Motion to Relocate them five hours away with additional child support. Celina Maria Rios failed to present rebuttal evidence to Respondents claims, character witnesses, timely responses to motions, and was unaware that the final judgement was rendered until I notified her. Whenever I would contact her office, she was always unavailable. The final Judgement set in the Clerk of Courts, Case que, an entire month and I did not hear anything from her office. When she did return my call, she told me it was nothing to report on the case and I advise her that an action was in my case file, she appeared oblivious. To my dismay, the mother of my daughter's, "Motion to Relocation with additional child support," was granted because her attorney presented character witnesses, false accusations, and relentless motions to fulfill her wishes. When I asked my attorney, Celina Maria Rios, to address Respondents claims during the representation period, she assured me it was not necessary to present characher witness on my part or dispute the false claims because the mother of my daughter’s, did not have a case. The only remedy I had following the judgement was an appeal and my attorney, Celina Maria Rios, advised me that I had no other recourse because she missed the appeal date. She suggested an Affidavit but advised me, I would have to pay additional fees.

Thank you!!

Celina is a remarkable well-versed attorney! She and Olivia at The Rios Law Firm, helped me with my case involving terminating my soon to be ex husbands parental rights. Celina was always very attentive to my needs and feelings as well as to every step taken in my case. I would definitely recommend C...elina and Olivia to anyone in need of a compassionate yet aggressive and trustworthy attorney. Thank you Celina and Olivia for everything! I am forever grateful! Best duo and Law Firm in Miami!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had the pleasure of dealing with Celina on a dissolution. Her knowledge of the law is very impressive, and her ethics and honesty are truly refreshing."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Celina and I were opposing counsels on a very contentious divorce. Both of our clients were oceans apart and this case was among the most difficult in my practice. Having Celina on the other side, with her experience and her temperament, and with the assistance of a retired judge mediating the case, we were able to settled to an amicable resolution for both parties. I fully endorse Celina and look forward to working with her again in the future. You can't go wrong with hiring Celina Rios."
