Amazing lawyer

Monica is a amazing lawyer she stuck by my side for 3 years and did everything she could to give me hope. I was looking at 40 years and today I’m free . I could not be more grateful for her and Joseph . She so such a great lawyer that even during my trial other lawyers would come in to watch her wor...k and learn from the best . She is the best at what she does . Always calls me , emails, or texts me when I have any questions . She was a former judge , prosecutor, and now lawyer what else could you ask for in a lawyer besides someone who has seen and done it all especially when you’re life is on the line . I would recommend her to anyone she really is a fighter and will be there for you . A prime example of what you should expect when you hire a lawyer.

Abogada en defensa criminal

Contratamos a la abogada Monica Guerrero Para un caso de cargo criminal, fue un caso muy difícil estábamos muy entre la espada y la pared, teníamos muy pocas pruebas de la inocencia de mi hijo y ella y su compañero Joseph hicieron excelente trabajo, siempre nos contestaron nuestros mensajes y llama...das lo más pronto que podían ,no como otros abogados que no contestan y por cada consulta te cobran más ella nos dio un precio y ese fue nunca nos estaba pidiendo más como la mayoría de los abogados que piden más y más y no hacen nada en el caso, ella lucho como toda una Guerrera como su apellido lo dice 100 % recomendada, Dios la bendiga para que siga ayudando a personas en sus casos si pudiera le daba hasta 1000⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

Doctor

Monica Guerrero is an excellent attorney. I would highly recommend Ms. Guerrero to anyone who is involved in a complex custody case. She was sensitive to the needs of our family, and was highly responsive to us at a most difficult time in our lives. I am impressed by her compassion and professiona...lism.

Amazing lawyer & highly recommended

Some lawyers will take your money and run with it or not fight hard for you and im a witness to that but when ms. Guerrero became my new lawyer. She has constantly did the right thing and does everything by the law. Ive had the privilege of her presenting great arguments for my case and it has turned... around great

Amazing

Monica was given my cousins case and it seemed impossible. I felt like we were going to be backed against the wall and it wasn’t going to end well. Our family was devastated. Not only did Monica give it her all, she won. Omg I definitely recommend her. She was amazing. Owe her a debt of gratitude.
