    Coming to terms with getting a divorce is one of the most difficult things a person can go through.

That is why it is important to have someone on your side looking out for your best interests. As an experienced divorce attorney, it is my goal to make your divorce process flow as smooth as possible while keeping legal fees under control.

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.

Services with care
Ramos Law Group definitely made me feel more than just a client. Everything was explained to me from consultation and through out the process. They made sure I was never confused about anything. Even in their billing, they show integrity. There was nothing on my bill (which was received every month) that I could not cross reference and check myself for accuracy. I will definitely recommend this firm to family and friends.

BEST OF THE BEST!
Mary and her team demonstrated professionalism that I was proud to have advocating on behalf of me. Mary and her team exhibited kindness, compassion, sympathy, honesty, transparency, understanding and patience (at a time when I didn't have much patience) when I needed it most. She took a complicated case, stayed the course, protected my parental rights, as I was granted most of what I was seeking. It's not about being able to afford an attorney, because you can't afford NOT to have Mary and her team in your corner. You get what you pay for. God bless Ramos Family Law.

Knowledgeable, professional, efficient.
I don’t have any complaints concerning my divorce with the Ramos Law Group in my corner. They were where informative from the first meeting, when I was scared and clueless, and addressed any questions or changes immediately. I felt protected and they catered to any changes I wanted made with an explanation of what could happen down the line with those changes in place. It was an easy process and I was thankful to have them!

Excellent advice for a very complicated case. Thank you. Unfortunately I am not in the financial position to retain attorney Mary Elizabeth Ramos. If I could she would be the one I retain as my attorney. She is very knowledgeable, very helpful.

Awesome and caring attorney
I hired Mary Ramos for my divorce matter and came back to her for my child support matter. Great attorney. Very knowledgeable in family law. She knows how to handle difficult opposing sides. The mother of my children was not an easy person to deal with, but Mary knew exactly how to work around her attitude. She is definitely an attorney who cares about father's rights. I will always recommend her to everyone I know who needs help with family law matters. Thankfully I have my kids living with me and I get to be such a hands on dad because of her. Late congrats to her on her board certification and awards.

I highly recommend Mary & staff. I've used her several times over the past 10 years and recently hired her to represent my son in a divorce. She is a straight shooter and won't let any one bs her.

Superb Law Firm
The decision to end my 25-year marriage was not an easy one, but hiring the Ramos Law Group was. From the initial consultation to the execution of the Divorce Decree everyone at the firm displayed the utmost professionalism and I was treated as if I was their only client. My attorney Lindsey, always provided precise legal guidance, was usually one step ahead of the opposing counsel, and had a superb understanding of how things would play out in the court room. Additionally, whenever my case needed a little extra horsepower, Mary provided that "surge" to keep things on track. In the end and after 13 months of discovery, depositions, hearings, and stall tactics by the other side, my divorce was finally settled through mediation and I'm very content with the settlement, thanks to the work of the Ramos Law Group. I don't wish divorce on anyone, but if that's the decision you ultimately reach, I believe, based on my experience, that you can't go wrong in hiring the Ramos Law Group to guide you through the process.

Custody case won
I was recommended to see Mary Ramos for my on coming custody case,it was the best thing I could've done honestly.The Ramos law group was quick with emailed responses and telephone calls,informative with ANY questions I had and they also took action with what they thought would work,which it did,I had money troubles and they were still willing to help they sent me with a younger lawyer Lindsey Lewis to help save some money and she was the best!She knew what she was doing and Mary was still on my case to make sure things went smoothly and to catch any details Lindsey and I might have missed.All in all I am a very satisfied client and if I ever needed a family lawyer again I would come back.My case was won as I received primary for my daughter which is exactly what I asked for.If you're willing to listen to what they have to say and follow their guidance they're definitely worth hiring.I thought I wanted sole custody for my daughter and they explained that wasn't in the best interest for her and honestly they were right,they speak to you on a professional level and also a real level of how things are actually going to work and what could happen if you take a certain action.They definitely care about their clients and make their own bond with you,you're not just money in their pockets you turn into family.

I received excellent advice and representation from Ms. Lindsey Lewis. She kept me updated at every step of the process, and I never felt as if my case was set aside. I would hire The Ramos Law Group in the future.

Highly recommend
I started my divorce with a lawyer who was not very responsive. My divorce case was complicated and needed more laborious scrutiny. Since the case was not moving forward I had to switch lawyer. Made the switch to Ramos Lawgroup. Since the very first day Mary and her team have been very efficient and meticulous. Since the case was complicated the team had to go through myriads of pages in discovery. I was pleased with the legal team that helped us handle the paper work in a very timely manner. All my questions were answered very promptly. The relay of information was easy with their software system. We finally had a law firm that we could trust. My divorce was finalized and I only have Mary and her team to thank for going through a difficult divorce. I would highly recommend the Ramos lawgroup for their help and support for getting my life back on track. Dr. John

Divorce
I made the right choice when I trusted Ramos Law Firm to take care my divorce, it was a confuse time, and I was taken by my hand and guided step by step on everything related to paperwork, I have not the pleasure to meet in person Mrs. Christina Garza, the paralegal that was in charge of my case; but she has always treated me as if I'm a the best client of the firm. Now almost 5 year after I filed for divorce, I made a call related to some certified copies that I needed,and again Mrs. Garza talked to me like I had spoken to her two days ago. and the best thing is that always I got the solutions to my concerns for a modical amount of money. I just can said thank you very much.

Best for the worse case
Coming from another culture, I was totally unfamiliar with the laws of marriage in the US. Unfortunately, that exposed me to a terrible family and they tried to take advantage of it. It was a short marriage, but I bought a $500k house in that period. I was so devastated, and I have contacted several other firms. When I found Ms. Ramos and her law firm through this site, they were the only one who I trusted to handle my case. She and her staff were amazing in handling my case. They have answered all my concerns and questions during the divorce. That support was very helpful emotionally as well. When I compared Ms. Ramos's professionalism to the other party's lawyer, I could easily tell that she came so well prepared to defend me. Very well organized in preparing all the documents and evidence. With Ramos's law firm, I was able to get my divorce so fast. During the process, I realized that their main concern is their clients and the well-being of the clients. They were able to finalize my divorce after about 2 months of filing it, while the other party wanted to prolong the case to make the most out of it. I highly recommend the Ramos Law Firm to anyone who unfortunately goes to the divorce.

Very helpful and sensitive...
I experienced a painful and what I thought would be a lengthy and complex divorce yet thanks to the staff at Ramos Law it wasn't. The staff guided me through each step and informed me ahead of time as to what the next step would be. The staff was responsive and quick to my inquiries. I've gone back since my divorce to obtain their legal advice on a separate matter and I would highly recommend their services.

The BEST Legal Team in Houston!
I was at the end of my rope when I hired the Ramos Law Firm to represent me. I had an unfair decree and an unfair advantage in the 311th court. I had very little understanding of my parental rights and family law. My situation wasn't easy and it was a long road to travel, but I was never alone. Mary and her staff was always by my side. When things got hard and frustrating, they were there to ease my fears and to help me understand the process. Not one time did they EVER show a sign of giving up or giving in. Not only did I get a great legal team, I got justice and a piece of mind that money can't buy. Today I am living a dream, a dream of having my children in my life. The ability to share holidays and vacations, but more importantly the ability to be a Father. My family and I are grateful for every moment that the Ramos Law Firm has spent on our case and for every lesson we've learned from them. HIRE THEM TODAY!

A great partner for your legal matters
The knowledge, expertise and care shown for my case, not only by Mary Ramos but her entire staff, is unmatched in family law within Houston Texas. Not only Mary but her entire staff knew my husband's case, the needs of our children, the long standing issues present before she came on as the attorney in 2013 but she was able to make fair suggestions to allow my family to continue to grow with one another. She did more for the case in the time she was on the case than the 2 previous attorneys' we had contracted had done in 4 years. She will not allow her clients to be railroaded or sign a short term fix for long term problems. I cannot thank Ms. Ramos enough, there were times when we wanted to give up, especially when the Judge we had refused to work on our case, but she did not allow me to, bringing me in the remind me why it was worth the fight, and she was right. It was worth it.

She is extremely knowledgeable of the law and a true blessing to anyone she represents.
Words cannot express how thankful I am to the Ramos Law Firm for handling my case. When I came to them I was in big trouble due to awful representation by my previous attorney. I had lost my first trial and was at risk of losing my children and becoming a victim of an unfair property division. I was desperate for help. So after doing a Google search and reading such great reviews on Mary Ramos I decided to make appointment with her. My case was very very complicated and I was scared no one would want to touch it. She took the time to listen, understand and learn the case. Actually better than I did. She is extremely knowledgeable of the law and if there is way to fight for you and get the win, she will find it. I don't believe anyone could have represented me better than her. I was amazed on how much work her and her staff put into my case. She turned the entire case around in my favor. Everyone in my family is amazed on what a wonderful attorney she is. And my ex still cannot understand what happened. Thank you Mary for being like an angel on my family's shoulders. Your represenation has made a very positive impact on my family's life and you are truly appreciated.

I came to Ms. Mary Elizabeth Ramos at the lowest point in my life."Lost my house, my right on kid and my future" but Ms. Mary Elizabeth Ramos had turned around my case from "Lost to Win" and I have now all what I lost in this process. She was professional, smart, confident, caring and trustworthy. I had total confidence that she would do anything in her power to help me. She protected my right, my justice and my future. I highly recommend Mary Elizabeth Ramos to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, smart, and honest attorney for family divorce.
