Review Viviana Ramirez

Exceptional

Posted by

Attorney Ramirez did an excellent job to solve a legal issue I was facing in the sate of Illinois. I live out of state but Miss Ramirez made time to communicate with me throughout the process. She did an excellent job explaining how she would fight my case based on the information she had. We also reviewed the possible consequences that I would face if convicted per my request so that I understood the law in the state of Illinois.In the end my case was dismissed thanks to her work. Great lawyer!!

ABOVE AND BEYOND...

Posted by

Miss. Ramirez handled a Federal Criminal complaint involving DNA evidence and intricate mitigating factors, her dedicated efforts brought a sentence that was far lower then the government's position, A 13 YEAR DIFFERENCE, as well as assisting in early termination of 3 years supervised release in merely 18 months. Wish I could give more stars...

Best divorce lawyer you can find

Posted by

She came in on the later stages of my divorce and I wish I would of find her sooner, she fixed many things my original lawyer didn't even acknowledge and was there throughout the rest of the case, great lawyer to deal with and very resourceful!

Fantastic Attorney

Posted by

I recently hired attorney Ramirez for a criminal matter and could not have been more pleased. She did a great job explaining all my options and the potential outcomes. Not once did I feel like she was taking advantage of me or looking down on me for what I had done. In the past, I've had attorneys treat me poorly because I don't have a degree, or try to charge me for way more than they should. Throughout the entire process I felt like she had my best interest in mind! I would definitely recommend her as an attorney and will hire her again if I'm ever in need again.

The best Attorney in the Chicagoland area.

Posted by

Attorney Viviana is by far the best Attorney. My family and I were extremely lucky to have found her. She was recommended to me and has helped my family and many of my relatives with cases varying from Traffic to Divorces. I would definitely recommend her as she is one of the most knowledgeable, hardworking, dedicated, public-spirited and extraordinary individuals I've came across.

Criminal Case - Case beat in trial

Posted by

Viviana recently helped me on a criminal misdemeanor case. I previously had another attorney on this case, which didn’t do anything with the case for months. The previous attorney wanted to get me a plea deal from the start. I then decided to go with Viviana because I had always heard very good things about her from previous family and friends. She dedicated her time to review my case with me and find different solutions. She took my case to trial and fought it in trial. The judges verdict was not guilty, and my case was beat. She did an amazing job! Viviana is an excellent attorney who will go above and beyond for her clients. She is knowledgeable in the law and she is very confident in what she does. During the initial consultation, she made me feel very positive that she was going to help me to beat this case. It was then that I knew that she was going to fight for me like no other attorney did before. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Ms. Viviana, going on forward she is the attorney that I will always refer someone in need of any legal assistance.

Kicked Butt!

My family had worked with Ms. Ramirez- so I hired her on a DUI. She looked at the evidence and filed a motion to fight the stop. At that hearing- she did her thing. She is a fighter. My case got dismissed that day. She was great!!!

I strongly endorse Viviana Ramirez. Viviana and I practiced law together for 13 years at the Utah Federal Public Defender Office in Salt Lake City. As the First Assistant, I supervised Viviana and consider her to be an outstanding crminal defense attorney. Not only did she provide solid, effective representation, Viviana also provided strong moral support and guidance and was always willing to assist clients and their family members with issues beyond the mere basics of criminal representation. I give Viviana my highest recommendation and respect.
