Mr. Romero exceeds all expectations and is nothing short of the best!

When it comes to my baby’s safety nothing but the best will do. When looking up “best child custody attorney in Wisconsin” Ernesto Romero pops right up! He exceeded his raving reviews and all expectations I had. He is extremely thorough and diligent with his clients. Mr. Romero used his creative th...inking to get my ex’s case thrown out due to an improper service. He put in the time to gathered all the information he possibly could to build a strong case for me. His intelligence is extremely intimidating to his opponents and he is definitely someone you want advocating for you and your child. In fact he did his job so well that my ex dropped his case altogether. Child custody cases can be extremely stressful and terrifying especially when the other parent is neglectful and harmful to your child’s happiness and well being, but having Ernesto Romero as my attorney has brought me confidence, courage, and he has lifted all the weight off my shoulders. If you’re looking for a tenacious, intelligent, and meticulous attorney to fight for your child’s safety and best interest look no further. His passion for his career is how he gets such great results in court. Hiring Mr. Romero is the best decision I have ever made and to have this peace brought to my baby’s life is worth everything to me. Oh and did I mention he wins. A lot! Nothing I write could scratch the surface of all that this man has done for me and my family.

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!
