Beware

I used Mr Romero many years ago. I wasted a lot of money meeting him in restaurants and post offices since he did not have an office. He did nothing to further my case. Was afraid of my ex husband's lawyer and told me "she doesn't like you" He quit and left me looking for another attorney after... collecting thousands of dollars from me. Apparently he realized I realized he was doing nothing but telling me "we wear the white hat" (sound familiar?)

Best Service on the Milwaukee Area

After spending so much money going through several other attorneys in my divorce process.Attorney Romero, was always available to answer my questions and concerns. He put me at ease throughout my whole long legal process. Attorney Romero has a thorough knowledge of the law and defended my case in my ...favor with determination in the shortest time possible.I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

Ernesto was a perfect fit for my high conflict DV case

Finding an attorney where I felt genuinely heard was my first big challenge in navigating Family Court, until I found Atty Romero. He represented me for the first 2 years of my nearly 3 year divorce, which was a high conflict domestic violence case. Atty Romero was exactly the right person to guide m...e through the nightmare I was facing, and it was truly impressive how, from day one, he took initiative and fought zealously for my son and for me. Besides that, for the duration of our work together Atty Romero was consistently attentive, kind, compassionate, humble, trustworthy, resourceful, intelligent, flexible, and demonstrated true integrity. Each day that we talked his first question was to ask how my son was doing, and I believe that he genuinely cared about us. Eventually, we agreed that fresh representation on my case would be helpful, and even through that transition Atty Romero made himself available to my new attorney, making sure she knew exactly how to pick up where he left off. Even during the time when I had new representation, Atty Romero continued to show me and my son support and encouragement in the background. Today he is a trusted friend and I am so grateful we found him.

Best Family Law attorney in WI

I’ve pondered for days trying to find adequate words to express my sincere gratitude for Ernesto. Attorney Romero was HIGHLY recommended by a dear friend of mine. Following my initial conversation with him, I completely understood why. WOW…. Can I just say…AMAZING?!?! Ernesto is knowledgeable in a...ll aspects of family law and he works diligently to make the court proceedings go as smoothly as possible for his clients. He kept me informed every step of the way during my Divorce. While this was an incredibly sad, scary and confusing phase of my life, I never felt like I was facing it alone. Ernesto was there every time I had questions, was upset or just needed reassurance. He truly cares about his clients and his passion for the work he performs is demonstrated through his availability (any time / any day ), his commitment to making each case his top priority, and his determination to produce favorable results for those who deserve them. My friend told me, “Ernesto will start as your attorney; but in the end he’ll be a great friend!” I couldn’t of put it better myself. From the Bottom of my heart – Thank you
