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.

Redefines Impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the game of legal chess, it is refreshing to be represented by a lawyer who has ethics and principles. This is the second time, I had the benefit of Attorney Romero's legal expertise. During my first divorce (March 2001), I had hired a pro se company to complete my divorce paperwork and when I att...empted to file the paperwork at the Milwaukee County courthouse, I found out that the paperwork was incorrect. It was happenstance that I met Attorney Romero. At that time, I used his legal program to file my own pro se divorce which ran concurrently with a paternity action. He was invaluable then to assist me with the necessary paperwork to file my uncontested divorce. Ten years later, I retained Attorney Romero to represent me in my divorce action (March 2011), including custody arrangements for my four children. Attorney Romero works harder than any ten lawyer firms. Attorney Romero charges flat fees which is unheard of in the legal profession. It is during that period in which I realized his invaluable net worth. In many cases, you get what you pay for or can afford and often that means the party with the most money wins. With Attorney Romero representing you get MORE than you can possibly imagine. When I met with Attorney Romero, I told him I wanted what was fair and nothing more. I was a stay at home mom being pressured by my abusive husband to walk away from my marriage with next to nothing. At my initial consulation with Attorney Romero, he outlined the fair share of my marital estate. Attorney Romero worked with me and I was able to assist him in my legal action including writing my own martial settlement agreement and parenting plan. He was available to me almost 24/7 including consulting with me while he was out of the country on several occassions. He responded promptly to my questions and emails. Attorney Romero explained all aspects of my case, in easy to understand, laymans terms. He was patient with me as I asked "why" more times than I can count and then followed up my questions with more answers. Attorney Romero is a legal warrior and will fight smarter for your best interests. He is irreplacable and his innovative brilliance continues to raise the bar for other lawyers! I am forever grateful to Attorney Romero for his work on my case.

An absolute professional

I am in the military and have been going through a rough time with my divorce, until I was referred to Ernesto Romero. Let me tell you, for all the horror stories that I get about lawyers taking their time, overcharging, and not caring, this guy was none of those. I had almost missed a deadline for s...ome legal paperwork by the time I gave Ernesto a call. Not only did he take care of submitting it for me, the SAME day, he got the ball rolling with a pretrial hearing. Long story short, after 2 months, everything is already resolved ahead of schedule, and it was all for a flat fee from start to finish. He was on the ball and kept in touch about everything happening, no extra charge. Every time I called him, he answered on the first ring. Not someone else, him! It's the little things like that which made this an extremely easy experience.
