Most remarkably innovative Attorney!

I hired Attorney Ernesto Romero for a divorce in Waukesha County, June 2017. He projected a quick divorce so that I would be able to move on from a very hurtful marriage that only lasted two years. He spent one hour on an initial phone consultation to decide if he would take my case. Ernesto is hig...hly sought after for his five star legal expertise, hence consider yourself lucky if he elects to take your case. I was a paralegal for years and have never crossed paths with an Attorney like Romero. His level of professionalism, consistency, determination and relentless endless efforts to move the case forward in timely manner that ultimately favored me was very impressive to watch take place. He simply wore down the Petioner (my exwife) who is an attorney, and her counsel with a tenacious offense, representing myself the Respondent. Within two months you would have thought we were the Petioner in the divorce. He took control over all aspects of both sides of the case, meaning he had control over guiding the opposition into doing what was in my best interest. It was positively bizzare to see the scales of justice lean in my favor because he aimed to deliver an airtight case where all scenarios were thought of, while he pushed to protect my best interest. Ernesto does not just say these things, he produces results that will exceed your expectations. Ernesto responded to every email, phone call and even text messages within the day it was directed to him, and I was refreshingly blessed. Where does this kind of fiduciary duty exist anymore? Well it does with E if he's your attorney. I was so inspired by Romero's legal tenacity and caring heart for myself that I have decided to work as a paralegal in a law firm again. I want to raise my bar and try to assist in protecting our clients rights in a manner like Romero. I don't think I would have reentered the legal profession if I had not had such a pleasant reaction to the legal system while working with Ernesto. We were an unstoppable team. He changed my mind about attorneys as being self-centered individuals that ultimately care about themselves. He will show that protecting your best interests is the most important thing to him. He does not leave any angle of the case unthought of. In closing I would like to say I have never had a more rewarding experience working with ANY professional throughout my lifetime of 46 years. Ernesto is a godsend - Leading Lawyer, Super Lawyers, Avvo top-rated lawyer & so much more for many consecutive years because he is the best at what he does. Simply put....Ernesto Romero is the elite! Hire Romero! His high intensity practicing of law and refreshingly caring personality is addicting. He is someone I consider a mentor, friend and simply a fabulous person. We need more Romero's in our world. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Ernesto Romero!

Excellent

Attorney Romero is an excellent attorney dealing with divorce and child custody issues. He understands that emotions run wild in these situations and is sympathetic, calming, patient and very clear in his explanations. He is also prompt in his response and follows through 100%.

Excellent choice

Mr. Romero was the best choice I could have made for an attorney to assist me with my divorce. He listened and was accessible to me via email or phone calls. His willingness to do the best for me and my daughter and accessibility really mattered and eased my anxiety. I know I have an attorney that... I can go to now and in the future with any questions or issues that may arise. I am so thankful I had him in my corner.

Simply Amazing!

It is difficult for me to write a review that does justice for Atty. Romero. He was simply amazing. I had no idea how divorce worked and he walked me through every step in a smooth, painless and very personable manner. When it came to dealing with the divorce, he clearly had my best interests in mind... and worked hard to fight for my best interests. He was always available via email, phone or text to answer any question that I had. He offered a very reasonable flat rate fee. I was very impressed with his professionalism, ability to navigate the legal system with ease, and genuine interest to get to know me on a personal basis. If I met him outside of the circumstances, he possesses all the qualities of a great friend. I could not be more satisfied in the outcome and my choice of a lawyer in my divorce hearing!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ATTORNEY ERNESTO ROMERO

My husband and I would like to thank Attorney Ernesto Romero for his prompt attention and expertise in our matter. We were faced with an unexpected court hearing and were desperate to find an attorney that was willing and able to represent us within a day. We contacted Atty. Romero in the morning a...nd that evening he met with us to hear more specifics to best prepare for our court hearing. I was impressed by his quick thinking, straight forward questions, knowledge of the law and most important his plan of action. Securing Atty. Romero was the BEST decision we made to get our lives back from someone (ex-husband) who was determined to make it miserable. After 8 long years of being dragged back and forth to court by my ex-husband, Atty. Romero fought harder than any other attorney that represented me in the past. If you are looking for an attorney that is straight to the point, cares about his clients, well respected, who will go the extra mile, provides guidance and is knowledgeable – Attorney Ernesto Romero is that person! There are no words that can express how pleased we are with his services. Check out his bio and see for yourself. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Very Satisfied Client M.R. – Milwaukee, WI
