Erika Vieyra Patino

I hired Erika for 2 enforcements of child support issues. She was extremely knowledgeable and was able to get the results I needed for myself and my son both times. I would hire her over and over again if I needed to. She is a fighter and not afraid to go into the courtroom to fight for you. She... is a straight-shooter and she will tell you what you NEED to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear. Her candor is refreshing and much needed. She will formulate a plan to get you where you need to be. Her staff is awesome to deal with. They are attentive, responsive, and caring. I highly recommend her!

I hired Erika back in 2012 for a divorce. I was scared and worried because my ex-wife was a difficult person to deal with. Erika handled her like the professional she is. I got what was rightfully mine at the end of the day. She is highly skilled in negotiating with difficult individuals and she ...was easy to talk to and work with. I would definitely hire her again!

I hired Erica patino to combat perjury which would easily be proved if she had ordered a background check on me. I hired her after I went to court for my first hearing for a divorce. I went to her office and I explained to her that the opposing attorney and her client had claimed that I had gone to j...ail at some point. I clearly told her why I was hiring her. She didn't bother to order a background check and she didn't bother to use all the other items such as being a teacher for 25 years and being a veteran for 12 years being awarded my child from another relationship until he was out of school. She is very lazy and only helps who she wants when she wants to. I also the valid restraining order on someone and I asked her to ask the court if I could sell my separate property. In addition to that I asked her to help me with enforcing custody of my child. All these things she did not do even though I asked her. For the custody enforcement instead she asked the opposing attorney if my wife had given me my child and of course my wife told her yes however I told her assistant that I had gone home without my child because my wife refused to give him to me. And her assistant said she would let her know.A so she claims she was told by the opposing attorney and that's okay I guess for her instead of checking with me and checking with her assistant if I had received my child that day. She is a horrible attorney and she uses profanity when she talks to you. I don't appreciate that from an attorney I expect professionalism. And finally in addition to all that she is a liar. She claims that I didn't want to pay her her money even though I fired her and I never said that. I only was giving her less money than I agreed to because I could only give her that much. But I did tell her when I sell my house I would pay her everything. She will not act in your best interest.

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.
