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.

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.

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

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!
