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!

Patino was so completely out-matched by my ex's attorney. She was unprepared and did not do anything to defend me from ridiculous accusations. She caused my children to be removed from me for 6 months now and I am the ONLY biological parent. I have not done ANYTHING wrong and there are absolutely... NO GROUNDS for my children being taken against my will. They were given to my ex, a non-relative of the children, after the ex filed a protective order against me and abducted my children from my home. All based on lies! The ONLY explanation for this from patino was "she filed first, she has upper hand." She quit 3 times because I questioned her. It's sad, the irreparable damage that has been done to my children.

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.
