An Outstanding Attorney !

Ernesto is absolutely amazing ! He is helping me with a custody case and we are doing great !!! Ernesto goes above and beyond his job to be sure justice is served. Anytime I have a question for him he replies immediately. Recently I told Ernesto that I have a court date coming up to try to get a res...training order against my abusive ex-boyfriend , I debabted about going just because I been trying since 2011 and I was loosing hope.( I told him literally only one week before my hearing.)After he heard all the horrible things my ex had done to me,Ernesto convinced me to go to the hearing and he would accompany me. I went and we WON the case justice was finally served for me ! I will always be greatful for that ! He is one of a kind !

Awesome attorney!

Out of the blue the father of my daughter decided to stir things up a bit with me. My first reaction was I was scared and why is he doing this. My cousin had helped me search for a lawyer because I didn't feel comfortable going in this without one. The first lawyer we found was Ernesto Romero and he ...had excellent reviews from other people he's worked with and helped. I decided to give him and call and he was so willing to take on my case and help me in any way to get what's best for my daughter. We are not through this yet, but so close to ending this and moving from this. Things are looking so amazing and I couldn't be more thankful for such a great attorney. Not only is Mr. Romero the BEST lawyer for this kind of case but he is also friendly, kind and very understanding and willing to fight for you no matter what it takes. Never had a problem with him not returning my emails or calls, he's always got back to me right away. Just overall the best and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know Mr. Romero and have him help me through this whole ordeal.

Child custody case - trying to move children out of state

Friendly, genuine, trustworthy and very knowledgeable. I've had other lawyers, and Attorney Romero is by far the best. He took the time to understand my situation, my needs, and the children involved. He even asked to see pictures of them and have me explain their personalities. From that moment I kn...ew was exactly what I needed. Not only did he gain my trust and respect for being an overall great individual (personally), he demonstrated his knowledge of the law by letting me know the reality of things and recommending new ideas. He focused on the current situation and made sure a strategy was in place for handling the future. Months after the case was closed, he sent a follow-up email asking how things were going. Amazing guy! Working with other attorneys? One of his greatest assets is his calm approach. While I've seen other lawyers use intimidation and aggressiveness to get their way, Attorney Romero is extremely successful in dealing with them using his calm nature, years of experience and knowledge of the law. Fee? Worth every penny of it. He uses a fixed price model that worked out great for my budget. He made himself available at ALL hours. He was extremely responsive regardless of the channel of communication. If you need an attorney I strongly recommend talking to him. You'll find a great friend and a great attorney.

Best Attorney In The State!!!!!

My husband & I went to trial on 3/18/13 for a custody case involving my step-son. Everything seemed perfect. We had the GAL's recommendation & everything was right on track. That's when it happened.... The case was dismissed due to a legal technicality. It was CATASTROPHIC however, we knew we couldn'...t give up. We called Attorney after Attorney but none wanted to accept the case given the high level of difficulty. That's when we viewed Attorney Ernesto Romero's profile & requested a consultation. From our first conversation with Attorney Romero, we immediately became aware of his integrity, commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Attorney Romero charged a flat rate which is unheard-of. Any concerns we had were immediately addressed, phone calls answered in a timely fashion and information we requested about the process was promptly forwarded. We never had to leave messages with a receptionist or staff member. Attorney Romero was always courteous and attentive, making us feel that our case was the only one being handled by him. I can honestly say he had a tremendous impact on our lives - a very positive one!!!! Thanks to Attorney Romero's hard work & attention to detail we overcame the obstacles that had been placed before us. BE WARNED: Ernesto's genuine warmth & kindness make it nearly impossible not to consider him a friend. - Thank you Ernesto for forever changing our lives!!!

Attorney Ernesto Romero

Ernesto Romero jumped in on my custody case and fixed everything that went wrong. I gave him one day notice due to certain circumstances, but he cleaned house and more. Without a doubt, the best custody attorney in the state. Thank you Ernesto, I couldn't of done it without you. You are ethical, bril...lant and one of a kind!!!
