Posted by Gonzales Family | August 09, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Adoption

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.

Dedicated Professional and Knowledgeable

We were recommended Ms. Guerrero by several friends that have used her for their many legal issues; be it either criminal or family matter and always expressed their complete contentment with her as their lawyer. We hired Ms. Guerrero in hopes of intervening in our foster child’s life and presenting ...our wishes to adopt. Monica is thorough, educated, and tenacious. She demonstrated her expertise in law, her ability to proficiently present her client’s objectives, and most importantly she is a true advocate of her client. She was available by phone and email and we never felt alone in our fight. She provided us a strategy, asked our opinions, and exhibited a quality that most attorneys would never show… sympathy. I will easily recommend her to all my friends, family, and colleagues if they need a true warrior with a heart in their corner.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
