THE ATTORNEY WHO REALLY CARES! YOUR NOT JUST A CLIENT!

My divorce proceedings had already started when I found attorney Romero. I knew I needed an attorney and quickly. I searched the website for days and went through many phone calls. My first meeting with attorney Romero was very reassuring. I knew he was the RIGHT ONE to represent me. I had gone throu...gh many years of mental anguish with my husband. Attorney Romero was my lifeline! He listened to everything I had to say with real concern for ME! After hearing my story, attorney Romero explained how he would help me receive what legally is mine. I felt relieved and secure knowing I had him on my side. This was the beginning of the healing process for me. Attorney Romero is intelligent, experienced, detail-oriented and knows the law with consummate skill. In the midst of my emotional divorce, attorney Romero gave me incredible support! He listens to all of my concerns, extremely responsive and always keeps me informed. If I contacted him via phone or e-mail, he would respond in a timely manner. HE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ATTORNEY ROMERO! You not only get a FANTASTIC ATTORNEY, but someone you can TRUST and enjoy being with. Don't think twice! Choose Attorney Romero! You can't go wrong! HE'S WORTH IT!!!!

Very satisfied with Attorney Romero

Attorney Romero has been an incredible help to my family. My husband and I hired Ernesto for a family court case involving my stepdaughter. Ernesto has been thorough, professional, and timely in his work. After the court hearing, he called me to ask if I had any additional questions! Working with... Attorney Romero has been easy because he is so accessible- I never have to leave voice-mails with a receptionist and don't have to worry if he remembers what case I am involved with. Attorney Romero has been proactive and has gone above and beyond what we expected from a lawyer. It is clear that Attorney Romero knows the law and can advocate for his clients to the fullest extent. Attorney Romero is an excellent lawyer and we are grateful that he accepted our case.

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.

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.
