Coming to terms with getting a divorce is one of the most difficult things a person can go through. Often, emotions such as anger, fear, and even resentment come into play and can have the ability to cloud one’s better judgment. 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.

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.

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.

Saved the day! Never could have done it without them!

When I was referred to Mary Ramos (and her staff) I was in big trouble. My wife filed false paperwork stating there was abuse in our marriage and I was about to lose everything. A lawyer friend was helping me, but the case was over his head, and he was completely honest, and he said if I didnt resp...ond quickly I would lose everything, not only my house, but visitation with my 2 daughters. He told me I needed to call Mary Ramos & Associates, that it was my only chance. The day that Mary Ramos took over the case, everything turned around, they really took control and I felt for the first time my side of the divorce would be heard. In the end Mary Ramos and her staff (Jessica was amazing) managed to save me. My house sold yesterday, one year after my divorce, and I actually received 50% of the sale and $13,000 that was due to me in bills from the marriage. NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT MARY RAMOS & ASSOCIATES. I would refer them to anyone who needs a fighter in their corner, they never gave up on me, and I promise you I had made a lot of mistakes, and my case was never an easy one.

Attorney who cares!

I have to say that using Ms. Ramos’ services was the best decision I made when it came to my custody case. I was fighting an uphill custody batter against my step-daughter’s biological father. My wife wasn’t available to fight for custody and as a step-dad I didn’t expect to win primary of my step-...daughter, but Mary and her team made it happen. We had to go through a five day jury trial and the results were exceptional. I had so many factors playing against me, but Mary handled it extremely well. She and her staff are no quitters and do whatever necessary to make things happen. Her staff always kept me well informed, they made things easy for me, and really catered to my individual needs. I felt safe with them handling my case. I was impressed with her services, I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anybody who needs a family law attorney, especially fathers.
