Not worth the money

If you like playing phone tag and being belittled, this is the lawyer for you, don't expect her to show up to court either, she sent someone else for our adoption case who knew nothing about us or our adoption situation. Now after adoption is complete, lawyer is useless on any documentation, I have... to go through the courts and pay for everything... After this is all said and done I wonder why I paid a lawyer cuz she is utterly useless... Thanks for taking my money and doing as little as possible.

Horrible Lawyer!

Renee always talked down to me and did not fulfill her obligation. The court order was made the day after court and I didn't see it until a week after. She also didn't include the second page of the order so I had to pay for a copy. Hands down the worse lawyer I ever had.

Custody Case

Miss Ortega helped me win custody of my kids. My ex and his bully lawyer tried every trick in the book and the judge was rude and yelled a lot. I was scared for months the case seemed to go on forever. Miss Ortega always got back to me and reassured me. She listened to what I wanted and help me and m...y kids. She was always prepared and was never bothered by the nasty other attorney. I have my kids today and they are safe. I would highly recommend her.

what a joke

Had a open and shut case, exwife enter my home when i was not home and took my sons belongs that i had bought him and moved him out of the state of indiana. Ortega showed up for court and didnt have anything ready for court just winged it.. so not only did the court aloud my ex to keep my son out o...f state i now have to pay back support for time that my son was in my care. It is against the law in indiana to move a child out of the state with out the courts approval . this is way people have no faith in the court systems. This is the kind of service i got for 200.00 a hour.

Wonderful Attorney

I hired Attorney Ortega after getting the run around from my first attorney. Attorney Ortega gave me direct answers to all my questions and explained the court procedure to me. After a long hard battle, she was right the Court heard the truth and I have my kids now. She did a wonderful job and I r...ecommend her to anyone that wants an honest and hard working lawyer.
