Erika Vieyra Patino

I hired Erika Patino on a annullment/child custody case in 2016, of which i had to ultimately end up firing her. Erika not only did not handle my case properly but she was also not knowledgeable enough to defend me in court. Upon hiring her, she claimed to be well versed in immigration and family la...w so i asked her if an annulment would be possible of which she agreed it would. In prepration for my annullment case, Patino asked for several character witnesses, i gave her their contact info and she never even called them. On the day of the hearing, she came into the room and told me "Ok, i just want you to know that there has never been a successful case for annulment with children involved." Erika knew that I had no chance of winning an annulment case but decided to go through the motions to get more money from me. While in the hearing, Patino was out lawyered, and unprepared. Patino done an awful job in court, and displayed no lawyering skills at all. Also, after i had already paid her she spoke to me and my family in a very condesending manner, not professional at all. I am writing this review to warn others of her lackluster skills,please be advised she is not able to hold her own in court and don't waste your money or time hiring her. She will promise to know all that is required for your case but will not deliver.

Erika V. Patino is, by far, the best attorney I could have ever hoped for! During a time that I felt very alone and backed into a corner, Ms. Patino came to my aide and was able to help me resolve my family court issues when a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Not only was Ms. Patino able t...o defend me from unfair accusations, her empathetic demeanor offered emotional support in what was truly the most stressful and terrifying experience of my life. Whether it be promptly returning my calls, or responding to texts, I always know Ms. Patino is in my corner. My daughter and I are eternally grateful for her service and I highly recommend Erika V. Patino without reservation.
