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?)

A win-win

I just want to give a huge thank you and appreciation for Mr. Romero. Last month I had a big court hearing that required quite a bit of filings. I was very nervous and honestly did not know what to do. Mr. Romero walked me through everything and was there for me at every turn. He was a Godsend nav...igating me through the court system and if you’ve begun to work with Mr. Romero you will soon find out, if not already, that he is far superior in both his knowledge and experience, which when you are scared and facing a litany of harassment from the other side is paramount. I had the displeasure of working with several attorneys, none compared to nor came close to the professionalism, knowledge and honesty and downright tenacity from Mr. Romero. I came out of the hearing with an outcome that I would not have achieved without Mr. Romero’s assistance and years of experience. Truly grateful here.

The Best

Ernesto is on your side. He is by far the most attentive and active attorney I have worked with and wish I had worked with him earlier after my divorce and all of the custody issues that I feel other attorneys let slip. He listens, offers his view, makes sure your prepared and always returns calls. H...e is exactly what an attorney should be. My cousins has also worked with him and has nothing but good things to say.

Great Attorney! Un Abogado genial!

Attorney Romero was the very best attorney I could possibly find. He was very knowledgeable about international laws. I could not find an attorney willing to accept my complex case and Mr. Romero handled it like a champ. Very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure my every detail was wor...ked out with the specifics of my case. Honest, loyal and hard working sums it up! Forever grateful for his help! El abogado Romero es un abogado genial! Sabe bastante de leyes internacionales y siempre estare agradecia por su ayuda. Nadie queria aaceptar mi caso o tenia el conocimiento de leyes internacionales. Cuando encontre al abogado Romero senti que saque la loteria porque es el mejor abogado que pude haber contratado. Honesto, leal y trabajador...quien puede pedir mas!? Siempre estare agredecia por su ayuda!

Could not be happier with Atty. Romero

Atty. Romero most definitely deserves my 5+ star review. I had a horrible experience with an attorney who I had erroneously retained before finding Atty. Romero and from the moment I consulted with Atty. Romero I knew that he would do all that he could to help my daughter and I. He arrived extremel...y prepared and was very attentive in every aspect and gave great professional guidance and advice throughout the duration of my child custody battle. He is proactive in his approach which is amazing considering I was anxious throughout the process and had never been through a child custody battle before so had no idea what to expect. He does not simply wait for you to reach out to him but rather reaches out to you with tips and suggestions, reassurance and simply just to check in....he very clearly cares about the person(people) and not just the case. He is always very easy to reach or at the very least prompt in his responses which many times saved me from unneeded anxiety, as anyone who goes through a child custody battle know that it is an ongoing process. He was very fair and honest in the advice and guidance that he gave me even if it may not have been the answer I was looking for at the moment. He clearly had my daughter's best interests at heart the whole case through, and was able to obtain agreement on all of my custody/placement requests. And once we were done with court he did not simply shove our case under a pile of others, but rather still makes himself available for questions and concerns that come up. He clearly is passionate about what he does and I would recommend him to anyone who has to go through this difficult process.
