Top notch Counsellor who is a true "Counselor"

Ernesto has provided legal assistance multiple times on my family and divorce matters, and is incredibly responsive. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and takes the time to really understand my specific legal situation which I feel is really a rarity with attorneys and their caseloads. ... He understand the differences in county court systems, the nuances of other attorneys he has worked with and if you research has been very successful in his legal career so I have found can cut right to the chase of putting together a plan and guiding you to stick to it. Once you take the time to explain both the big picture and then provide some accurate detail, I am confident that like I have, you will see the floodgates open and he will bring his decades of experience to the table - like a hammer! It is this decisive analysis and subsequent action follow-through that will help you sleep better at night during what can be one of the most stressful times of your life.

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.

I highly recommend Mr. Ernesto Romero to represent you.

I hired Mr. Romero for a divorce case. I could not have had some one better represent me. Mr. Romero is very attentive person and an all around professional when it comes to listening to your needs and concerns. He always returned my calls and emails promptly, and moved very swiftly with paperwork. C...ompared to the lawyer we were up against, he tried to get a resolution as fast as possible. If you're looking for someone with a kind personality with an all business attitude toward your case, I recommend Mr. Romero to represent you .

A great attorney

After searching and dealing with different attorneys I can say that it is hard to come by people, and even more so attorneys, like attorney Ernesto Romero. Once my husband and I met him, we knew that we had found our attorney and that we were in the right hands. Our experience confirmed this great fi...rst impression. Attorney Romero gives top class legal representation and advice, is professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and thorough. He is reliable, easy to get a hold of, and handles his cases promptly. He goes above and beyond to get you what you want. In attorney Romero you will not only find a brilliant lawyer, you will also find a great person and a friend. Thanks to attorney Romero we were able to move forward with our lives. We are and always will be grateful for what he did for us and we certainly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great attorney.

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!!!!
