One word of advice: get to him before your spouse does.

If the Theater of Divorce Court is the Wild West, Atty Romero is John Wayne. When my wife hired one of the most renowned lawyers in Milwaukee, my lawyer at the time questioned where my wife found her as “this lawyer is known to play dirty.” My lawyer at the time was in over his head, but I was alread...y three months into this case and reluctant to switch to another lawyer. I searched AVVO and found Atty Romero, I said a small prayer, gave him a call and the rest is history. Atty Romero assessed a FLAT RATE FEE, and then wasted no time putting his heart and soul into providing nothing less than THE BEST REPRESENTATION MONEY CAN BUY, PERIOD. He had my wife’s lawyer’s head spinning in no time, and she’s rated 9.9 on AVVO. Atty Romero will give you an insightful, frank and experienced honest assessment of everything on the table. Atty Romero is available 99% of the time, and if you leave a message HE ALWAYS gets back to you in a timely manner – he prioritizes his client’s like nothing I’ve ever seen – AND HE DOESN’T CHARGE TO TALK. He is incredibly supportive, always listens to your concerns and is there to help you back up when you’re feeling down. Atty Romero provides SPECTACULAR service. This man’s representation is worth much more than every penny, nickel and dime that he charges.

The Best Attorney Ever

From our very first meeting and continuing through the preliminary formalities/court filings and final disposition of my case, Atty. Romero proved that he was more than your average good attorney. What sets Romero apart is that he does not perceive his role as being limited by standard lawyer obliga...tions to a client; he goes far and above duty to help you win. Especially in divorce proceedings, having an attorney who really wants to understand you pain and anguish, and is prepared to stand with you all the way, could spell the difference between winning and losing your case. In what could have have a disastrous outcome, Atty. Romero's encouragement, compassion, industry and -above all- spectacular legal skills made me a winner. He made me a very happy man, a completely satisfied client. I very strongly recommend him to anyone seeking a great lawyer. He is SIMPLY THE BEST.

A man of Integrity

I was well represented by Attorney Romero, and very satisfied with the outcome of my case. Attorney Romero's professionalism and personalism far exceeded my expectations. He is truly a man of Integrity.

Divorce client

I wish I could add an extra star for rating responsiveness-Ernesto responded to all of my questions promptly and (when emotions ran high) compassionately. My divorce started as pro se, but when my husband refused to honor our filed marital agreement, I consider myself lucky that I found Ernesto to r...epresent me. He was always courteous when dealing with the other lawyer, but at the same time tenacious and a true crusader for my interests. I think the best summary of the experience is the fact my now ex-husband asked Ernesto for his business card as we walked out of court!

Phenomenal results and fast

Atty. Romero's commitment and hard work make him one of the best family law attorneys I have ever met. He goes above and beyond his duties to make sure his clients receive the best legal representation. Atty. Romero received my divorce file from another attorney, and he wasted no time to get me divor...ced quickly and with outstanding results. He demonstrated unparalleled dedication and professionalism. Without a doubt, Atty. Romero is an expert in very difficult divorce cases. I highly recommend him.
