Best Attorney in San Antonio

Monica Guerrero is a wonderful attorney. She helped us get through a CPS case as foster parents of a family member's child. Our case ultimately ended with an adoption and we are so grateful! We cannot say enough good things about Monica's professionalism, knowledge, demeanor or expertise. Monica ...was always prepared and responded in a very timely manner if we had questions or concerns. She reassured us during times we were losing hope and kept us informed throughout this process. Life can finally move forward. I highly recommended Monica Guerrero.

Confidence & Competence in a Time of Need

Ms. Guerrero took my call late one afternoon to discuss modifications to an existing order on child visitation and support with a hearing set less than a week out. My Ex' demands were far-reaching and unfair (aren't they all?; but in this case it's no exaggeration). Ms. Guerrero's demeanor provided... for a calming sense that inspired hope and confidence. Her familiarity with local attorneys and the rules of law and the court helped to quickly put things into perspective. Her counsel was straight-forward and smart. Her availability by phone and her readiness to include me in her immediate schedule brought a sense of relief. She was effective in her communications on the phone, in person, and via text messaging. She didn't attempt to oversell, and indeed, her advice actually worked to save me time and money. While I pray it won't be needed again, I will seek her counsel again if necessary. She's a former judge and is well respected in our community. Thank you, Ms. Guerrero!

Una excelente abogada

Estoy escribiendo este comentario para recomendar a la Abogada Guerrero. Tuvimos la necesidad de consultarla y al buscar en internet vimos que teníamos varias opciones pero al leer los comentarios decidimos consultar a la abogada Mónica Guerrero. Puedo decirles que hicimos tomar la decisión correcta ...llamarla. A pesar de que es una profesionista muy ocupada ella fue muy receptiva a nuestras necesidades. Nos dio mucha confianza, nos explicó detenidamente el procedimiento y nos ayudó a determinar el plan y estrategia a seguir. En resumen podemos decir que es una excelente abogada con gran experiencia y algo muy valioso, un gran corazón!

Great attorney

Monica was referred to us by a friend and I am very grateful for that. She worked hard to get the best possible outcome for me and always kept my family updated. She took the time to meet with us and explain anything we did not understand. Definitely would recommend her as an attorney. We were very b...lessed to have her as ny attorney.

I Highly recommend Monica Guerrero on CPS cases. My grand baby was taken away from me on speculations that weren't true. CPS lack on their investigation, they went on a hear say.. So Ms Guerrero put my interest at heart. On the day of court she was ready , organized , keep me informed and also very ...good on returning phones calls. on the day of court she defended me. and she won the case. with in hours My grand baby was return where she belong.. Thanks Ms Guerrero for all your hard work and dedication you put in my case..
