Poor communication and service
I am not one to write reviews, especially negative in a public forum, but I have to agree with a previous reviewer commenting on poor communication and service quality. Even after multiple attempts to address it with more than one staff member, it never improved. While I should have switched firms,...

Poor communication and service quality
My experience with the Ramos firm was very poor. There was not enough guidance on the divorce process and they were not responsive. I decided to fire them after I was requesting for 2 weeks to take action to send interrogatories. They would take days to answer my emails and questions.

Knowledgeable and smart
Ramos Law Group handled both my divorced and the custody of my kids. In both cases, I was treated professionally and with respect. Mrs. Ramos will explain everything in detail and make sure the court treats you fairly. Without a doubt, the best decision I made was to hire her to handle my case.
