    Review Wendy Rivera

    Knowledgeable, Professional, Very Responsive

    Posted by

    I am so pleased to have chosen Ms. Rivera for my legal needs. She was outstanding in her expertise, diligent in meeting my needs, and provided additional suggestions I found very valuable. Her personal care, attention to detail and responsiveness places her in a high position in her profession, in my opinion. Also impressive is her volunteer work in giving back to our community. I would highly recommend Rivera-Aguilar

    Great Attorney!

    Posted by

    I hired Wendy as my bankruptcy attorney. She was affordable and she works with you regarding payment methods. Wendy was really great with communication and if she was unable to reach out she had Andrew help, he was great to work with as well! Wendy is really knowledgeable and she knows her stuff especially when you’re in such a stressful situation she’s very reassuring. I’m very appreciative of her and the service she provided! I would definitely recommend her!

    I'm a Cetral Florida entrepreneur and community leader. We consulted Mrs. Rivera during a litigation with a commercial rental. She heard our concerns and did a detailed evaluation of our situation. Rivera provided accurate information in regards to the law and represented us in a respectful and effective manner. We highly recommend her and would definetly hire her in any future legal matters.

    Evelyn Figueroa, Social security Attorney on Jan 12, 2016
    Relationship: Friend

    I endorse this lawyer. I first became familiar with Wendy Rivera because prior to her becoming an attorney she worked at the law firm I previously worked at as a case manager handling Social Security Disability cases. By the time I was working there, she was no longer at the firm but every attorney that worked with her only had great things to say about her and her work on cases that I was now working on was outstanding. By the time I personally met her, I was already aware of her work ethic and passion. She is very dedicated to her cases and to her community as she is very involved in causes that advance the education of our children in Florida.

    Omar Carmona-Sanchez, Social security Attorney on Oct 28, 2014
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I endorse this lawyer. Mrs. Rivera is a very professional attorney. She comprehends social security matters and explains them very well. She is very active in the community and this allows her to better understand the needs of the people seeking social security benefits.
