Carlos Guillermo Salinas

I sought the counsel of Carlos Salinas for an order of protection from my husband after a very terrifying situation. Carlos was a calming and confident presence during very difficult court proceedings. From the instant I began working with Carlos, it was apparent that he was beyond knowledgeable and... experienced with not only family law, but domestic violence and orders of protection as well. Carlos walked me through every step of the process in a manner that was reassuring and comprehensible. It was not just Carlos’s professionalism and expertise that stood out to me however. Carlos was compassionate and relatable. I knew that he genuinely cared, and his sincerity made all the difference while going through such a difficult situation. I never felt like "just a case" to Carlos. It was clear that we were a team, and Carlos was there for support and to fight for me. I am very fortunate to have had Carlos Salinas represent me. I cannot say enough positive praises- I highly recommend Carlos Salinas!

I hired Carlos Salinas to help me dissolve a troubled marriage involving physical and mental abuse by an egocentric ex-partner. The case was made complicated, as I had to deal with further issues that my previous attorney created during my earlier failed mediation process. When I first met him, I was... immediately put at ease with his thoughtful and considerate approach to my situation. Carlos dealt my complex divorce case involving shared community property with thorough analysis, understanding the intricacies involved in my case, evaluating all possible options and proposing the best course of action. He was always well prepared for our meetings, having read all the previous paperwork from court and opposing council and was able to explain it all in a straightforward manner. Throughout my various interactions with him, I found that he works with a great amount of diligence and integrity because he cares deeply about his clients and wants to provide them the best possible results. He and his office staff especially Brent are organized and prompt in communications. In the course of this tough time, he supported me by lending me with a listening ear allowing me to take a formidable standpoint. During the court proceedings, I found him to be a strong and passionate litigator, strengthening the trust of his clients with his aggressive but practical approach to the case. Most importantly, he fought for me until the end enabling me to achieve my desired outcome allowing me to move on with a sense of peace and accord. I would highly recommend Carlos Salinas and his firm to anyone dealing with Family Law issues.

I initially found Carlos through this site. I read through many of his client reviews that told a story similar to mine: bad advice from a previous attorney, resulting in their having signed an unfair/burdensome possession order. I scheduled my consultation, hoping that he could get me the just and f...air shared custody I wanted. I was pleased by his straightforward manner, and that he had a casual, but professional demeanor. Do not let his casual vibe fool you. Carlos is a bulldog on your side. He understands the emotional and psychological toll family law proceedings take on you. He will counsel you when to take a strong stand, and when to hang back and let the other side hang themselves with their own actions. Do you have a narcissist ex-partner who is seemingly dedicated to making your life as difficult as possible, even if it causes suffering for your child/ren? Carlos is your best defense - both shield and sword. He knows the law and its applications, as well as what family law judges do and do not want to hear/see. He is motivated by a desire for justice, fighting for those who feel powerless or taken advantage of. Finally - and this was important to me as a single mom receiving no child support - his rates are reasonable. He is very invested in making sure you get the best representation for your money. If this is all new and overwhelming to you, you couldn't ask for a better guide on when and how to spend the funds in your retainer. This is crucial in cases that can drag out for months due to hearings on motions, negotiations on agreements, and mediation. Family court sucks. But you can feel confident you'll get your best outcome with Carlos on your side.

I just wanted to take a little time to write a review for my excellent lawyer, Carlos Salinas. I am a doctor who had been married for 11 years with two amazing children as a product of my marriage. Unfortunately, I found that my wife and I had grown apart, and we decided to pursue divorce as a resolu...tion to our conflict. Carlos's attention to detail, quick response time to my questions, and his amazing abilities as a trial lawyer were invaluable to me during this very trying, difficult process. Carlos is extremely professional in all aspects regarding the divorce process, but I also found that he was a source of comfort to me during my many times of need throughout this grueling process. In short, I would recommend him highly as Divorce/Family lawyer to anyone at anytime. Mark

I reached out to Carlos Salinas after in-depth research on his practice, and reading his reviews. I scheduled a consultation for the following week. I was very apprehensive, as I was having to deal with making corrections to issues that my previous attorney created during my divorce. My ex and I a...re not in one of those "amicable & happy" situations, so the dread of having to deal with him again after almost 5 years made me extremely anxious. When Carlos and I met, I was immediately at ease. He was engaged in our conversation, warm and easygoing, and had thoughtful questions that were pertinent to my situation. I felt as if he was old friend. He gave me great direction on how to gather my documents, and walked me through what I needed to do to get the best outcome, and what not to do, that could save me the expense of trying to go after everything at once, that might not be granted. I appreciated that tenfold. It took just under three months before we achieved the outcome I wanted, plus the other attorney offered even more than we asked for! Carlos was phenomenal in his handling of the other attorney, and most importantly, my ex. That, in and of itself, is comparable to climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. I would highly recommend Carlos Salinas and his firm to anyone dealing with Family Law issues. You will find him to be compassionate, caring, and likeable. I feel like he puts the children first, and that to me is huge. He is also amazing at diffusing stressful situations, and does what he sets out to do with remarkable skill. I only wish I had known of him when I first went through my divorce. I give him 11 out of 10 stars!
