Child Protective Investigation
My case involved a CPI investigation that a therapist reported against me. My son is autistic. I felt vulnerable and terrified. The report was found to be unfounded. Mr. Ramirez was kind and patient with me, as I was understandably very emotional. He represented me every step of the process. I called him the moment two sheriffs and the CPI worker arrived at my home. He remained on speakerphone, to ensure none of my rights as a parent or my children's rights were violated. He assured me what would happen and what to not allow to happen. The case was soon thereafter closed. Mr. Ramirez's handling of my case inspired me to go to law school to help other families. One day soon I will be in a profession to represent and help others in the same or similar situations.

Mr Carlos Ramirez
Mr. Ramirez is an outstanding person and an excellent levelheaded lawyer with years of experience. His team is equally fantastic. Maria and Teresa are wonderful caring human beings. Saved me a fortune and tolerated my frustration. Always returned my calls immediately and emails. He’s honest and a straight shooter. Even gave me free advice for my future. I love the man.

Great Lawyer
I contacted Carlos after reviewing a few lawyers that practice Family/Dependency law. After reaching out to his staff, they quickly mobilized to help support me even at very short notice. Carlos was quickly able to pull from his knowledge to explain to me legal processes involved and different options I could take. Although the case was extremely emotional and troublesome to me and my family, Carlos was compassionate but also logically explained how best proceed. Carlos also took time to help save money and reduce my total cost for the case. In the end, with his help, we are on the right track to put this situation behind us. If anyone is looking for a lawyer that understands Dependency and Family law, specifically when dealing with CPS, Carlos would be a great choice.

Collaborative Divorce
I was extremely impressed by Carlos and his team. He did a great job explaining the collaborative divorce process. He was also very flexible to my approach for preparing financial data and reviewing legal documents, which provided some savings on legal fees. Finally, he worked well with the other attorney and CPA to keep the process moving forward.

Above and beyond! I know God allows circumstances in life to happen for a mayor reason and He is in charge to put the right people in your path that will drive you to the destination you are meant to go to. God brought me to Lawyer Carlos, a very experienced and knowledgeable lawyer in the field. His great team, experienced Paralegal, Teresa, and his very diligent Legal Assistant, Maria. A great team that I highly recommend. Besides great knowledge in the field, I felt protected by them as they fought for my rights in every single way. Teresa and Maria made me feel like Family. May God keep blessing them in every single way. Thank you!

Lic. Carlos Ramírez, Teresa y Maria son un equipo Asombro, servicial, amables, tratando al Cliente con mucho respeto y cuidado... Me acompañaron en todo el proceso (caso) con PROFESIONALISMO Y DISPONIBILIDAD (24/7), manteniéndome informada y a su vez orientada en cada una de mis inquietudes; resolviendo mi caso de manera oportuna, para mi total satisfacción. Lo otro para tener en cuenta, que resalta en su equipo, que hablan INGLÉS Y ESPAÑOL con fluidez, lo cual fue conveniente. Recomendaría al Lic. CARLOS RAMIREZ, el 100%, SU PROFESIONALISMO, sus 30 AñOS DE EXPERIENCIA LEGAL, ÉTICA Y MORAL, se vieron reflejados en el desarrollo de mi caso !!!

Top Notch & Professional Attorney and Firm Staff
Throughout the most difficult 2 years of my life, Carlos Ramirez and his staff provided comfort and peace of mind throughout the duration of my difficult child custody case (involving an extremely unprofessional & overwhelming OPPOSING counsel) by handing it with the UTMOST professionalism. Mr. Ramirez and his paralegal truly understand the law and served as the voices of reason in the most emotional and frustrating of times I experienced, which only provided reassurance and eased my mind knowing that myself and my child were in the best of hands. I could not have asked for a better outcome to my case and was constantly impressed by how the firm operates in an organized, timely, patient, and extremely communicative manner. No wonder why Carlos Ramirez is so well-respected in the Tampa Bay and surrounding areas. I highly recommend consulting/hiring him for your legal needs!

#1 Family Law Attorney
Carlos, Teresa and Maria are such amazing individuals. Imagine walking into a legal office and feeling like your the million dollar client even when your not. They treat your case as their own and are invested in making sure not only you as the client understand your case but also that they are not wasting money on unnecessary expenses to move the case along. While you as the client may become emotional, Carlos and Terea will ensure your case is strategically being handled from all aspects to ensure they obtain the most optimum result in your case. If your unsure who to hire to handle your garnishment case or modification for child support involving social security disability and VA compensation or frankly any family law case I cannot say it enough but to go with Carlos.

Proficient Family Law Firm
I was referred to Ramirez Law Firm after my litigation began and was represented by a different attorney. My family law case was not looking favorable and I felt I needed more assertiveness during such a complicated situation that involved CPS, Medical Evaluations, etc. All to ensure my daughter was going to be in a safe environment. Maria & Teresa gave every effort to ensure a smooth transition of representation as well as throughout the very end. They are so professional, have integrity & are such kind individuals. Carlos is exactly the attorney you would want fighting for your child. He is extremely experienced, has a great attorney community presence, reputable, assertive & will keep you in areality state of mind especially dealing with delicate matters that any parent could easily let their emotions get the best of them. My case resulted in a safe agreement for my daughter to be in. Carlos & his team are well worth the investment.

Carlos Ramirez
This was the longest 4 years of my life but Carlos and his team, Teresa and Maria were there every step of the way. They were very professional and we’re in constant communication and worked many hours to help guide me through my divorce and custody battle. They were like family. They had to on several occasions “talk me down off the ledge”. The system is so unjust but Carlos fault hard and did everything he could for me and I’m thankful for that. I highly recommend Carlos Ramirez Law Firm.

Hands down the best Firm!
Mr Ramirez is absolutely amazing as is his staff Maria and Teresa! My divorce was filed by my now ex husband in January of 2020 and finalized in May 2022. In addition to the divorce there were also injunctions in place when I retained Mr. Ramirez. Covid definitely played a huge roll in the lengthy process with me having contracting it multiple times and causing long term medical complications and yet through my stress, anxiety, and medical issues Mr. Ramirez, Teresa and Maria were always there! No matter what was going on in their own lives they were always a phone call away; available even nights and weekends. There was never a time when i couldn't reach someone rather that be normal business hours, nights or weekends. We had a very complex case and we had to deal w my ex husbands attorney who was an absolute nightmare. My memory tanked being Sick for so long and yet during a pandemic with covid running our state and having to resort to zoom hearings I was always informed reminded and even received wake up calls to make sure I never missed a hearing!! I never felt like just a client, rather like I was family! Divorce is a stressful time but combine that with my health issues covid and lock down and yet They were always there for me; working endlessly and maintaining not only a professional business rapport but also a family rapport! I still to this day send photos of my children with updates on how we are doing and receive emails and phone calls just to check in with me. I couldn't have been more blessed to have had this amazing team that was always 100% all in...if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing. Such a wonderful Firm to have had my back. If you are in need of a Divorce Attorney this Firm is hands down the BEST! You will be treated with the utmost respect & professionalism. The love they each have for what they do and for their clients is beyond words. This Firm is Thoughtful, caring, understanding, diligent and so much more. Mr Ramirez, Teresa and Maria will always hold a special place in my heart and I will continue to stay in contact with each of them as they are more than just a Firm they are family❤️ Sabrina

Compassionate but strong lawyer for my Divorce
Carlos worked for years with me through a difficult divorce with 2 children and an ex that was from outside the US. Naturally I was afraid of a lot of things that were happening or could happen, Carlos knew everything to expect and how to prepare for it. When you walk into the courthouse with Carlos, every bailiff, judge and other attorneys wave and are truly happy to see him, know his name etc. His reputation in the courthouse was some thing that made me realize this guy means business and he’s also got a very good reputation amongst his peers. It’s been 6 years since my divorce and I still keep in touch with even his wonderful office staff. I will always be grateful that I chose Carlos as my attorney and I have referred him to many friends. If you’re a woman looking for a trustworthy and strong attorney to represent you I promise you, I promise you he will take the very best care of you and continue to do so long after. He treats you like family and during difficult divorces, and that was everything to me at that time. Thanks Carlos, Teresa and Maria!

For family law issues look no further. Mr. Ramirez is your man.
My family and I came to Tampa to seek help with a custody situation involving our Grandson. Being from out of town we weren't quite sure where to start nor who to turn to for help, so I did a random internet search for family law firms. I didn't feel quite comfortable with the few large firms I was in contact with. Came away with a rather cold corporate feeling. I then decided to seek out a single practitioner for more personal service. I came across Mr. Ramirez purely by chance. He had stellar reviews so I made the call. Maria, the ever pleasant office manager took my call and made me feel comfortable after the first few words. I shared our problem with her and she told me Mr. Ramirez was off for the Christmas holiday but would return my call before the end of the day. To my surprise he called me from his home and spoke with me for at least a half hour. His manner was kind and caring. Spoke to me like a friend. I knew I found the right firm. We engaged his services and met he and his staff in person. Everyone couldn't be nicer and Mr. Ramirez was much more than kind. A fine man. So if your need help with a family law issue, look no further. He is your go to guy.

Going through a year and a half long divorce was grueling, but Mr. Ramirez and his staff made it so much easier for me. Carlos, Teresa and Maria were always patient and kind to me, even when I was frustrated. They worked with me to meet paperwork deadlines when I was dragging my feet. They also worked with me financially. I would highly recommend Mr. Ramirez to anyone needing a Family Law Firm. They are the best!
