Erika Vieyra Patino

After being date raped and abused for 30 years by a rotten man. I finally found my way out. The emotional trauma is what keeps you in. I hired Erika and believed she would help and fight for me. She said she would not back down because of all the evidence that I had on abuse and cheating from the x. ... He agreed to have a negotiation Erika advised and brought a negotiator. This was done during Covid. All over the computer. During the negotiations EVERYTHING she had promised was forgotten and I was left to feel like all I was was nothing a stay at home mom while he worked and deserved nothing. Erika is NOT a mother and wife and has zero empathy or compassion for the family or job. I didn’t even get what the state of Tx requires for child support was grossly negligent in alimony for my x makes over $450 thousand and 30 years of marriage . Tx law is $5000 a month for 10 years. I got less than half for 5 years. Simple Tx law and Erika failed to support who hired her. She sucks I would not recommend her to anyone. Lies to you and bills you for terrible service.

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.

No one wants to hire an attorney to deal with an unreasonable ex husband but if you have too Ms. Patino is excellent. Amazingly smart in the court room she presents in a manner that makes me wish I was an attorney as well! She handled my case flawlessly and because of her I know that I have done ever...ything I can in the best interest of my children. I did not obtain ALL of my desired outcomes in the case but unfortunately the law in this state was the cause not my attorney.
