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.

One of a kind Attorney

Attorney Ernesto Romero is a one of a kind Attorney. He did an absolutely outstanding job helping me win my child custody battle with my Ex - Boyfriend( my daughter's father.) My sition was pretty intense. In the past my Ex has both mentally and physically abused me; often times in front of our ...daughter. He also, stalked me. Moreover; he is a chronic drug abuser. I attempted several times to have a restraining order placed against him, but for some reason or another it was never granted. Eventually my Ex was incarcerated. I used that time to relocate my place of residence. For over 2 years I kept really low key so he would not know where I lived. Until one day when he knocked at my door. I was completely scared because of our history of his abuse towards me. I attempted once again to get a restraining order; once again it was denied. My Ex then told my dad he was going to take me to court so he could get custody of our daughter. I was never served papers. As a precaution I called Attorney Ernesto Romero. ( my cousin recommend him to me.) I told him my situation, patiently and carefully he listened to me. He was very intrigued in my case and agreed to represent me. One week before my hearing I actually found out there was an actual court date that I needed to attend. I was in complete panic because I have not officially hired Attorney Romero yet. I called him on such a short notice and he agreed to meet up with me and take my case. He ensured me I was in great hands. The anticipation I had leading up to the court date was insane; however Attorney Romero helped me feel at ease with his dedication and commitment he showed me. The First Court date was a complete success! GAL was involved in the case. Along with a drug test to be done on my EX (hair, nail and urine) In the middle of my custody battle Attorney Romero agreed to help me obtain a restraining order against my Ex. I have tried several times and was never successful. But once again with his dedication he helped me. I will forever be grateful. Finally last but not least, the last hearing for my custody battle was also a success! We won SOLE custody of my daughter with no visitation to her father. After the commissioner seen the restraining order, the drug test that came back positive for several drugs in his system. Moreover; he did not comply with anything GAL asked him to do. Along with, all the evidence Attorney Ernesto Romero had to show the commissioner that My ex is an unfit father. I will always be grateful for Ernesto he did exactly what he said he would do. Most importantly what was best for my precious baby girl. He is outstanding and committed to his job. Not only is he a great attorney but a new found friend of mine. Thank you, grateful client..

An Outstanding Attorney !

Ernesto is absolutely amazing ! He is helping me with a custody case and we are doing great !!! Ernesto goes above and beyond his job to be sure justice is served. Anytime I have a question for him he replies immediately. Recently I told Ernesto that I have a court date coming up to try to get a res...training order against my abusive ex-boyfriend , I debabted about going just because I been trying since 2011 and I was loosing hope.( I told him literally only one week before my hearing.)After he heard all the horrible things my ex had done to me,Ernesto convinced me to go to the hearing and he would accompany me. I went and we WON the case justice was finally served for me ! I will always be greatful for that ! He is one of a kind !
