Best Lawyer and Team!!

Alane and her team were EXTREMELY helpful with my case. We were trying to collect our security deposit from an apartment complex that was very difficult to work with for the past 2 years. With their assistance and patience, they were able to make the process easy! They were able to guide us and a...nswer any questions we had. Always answered our phone calls and provided accurate updates. 10/10 recommend if you want a team that is on top of their cases and gets you taken care of.

Best attorney when involved with dcs

I hired alane for a dcs case and she got right on it from start to finish it was a long road but she always was informing me of what was going on and what was the next step to get my children and my family back together. She looked after the best interest for me and my children. She was always 2steps... ahead from dcs. She worked aggressively against dcs she was always on top of it letting me know what will help what we can do to get things done so that the dependency could be dismissed. sure enough she got it done. thanks to her since hiring her me and my family saw a big difference because dcs kept giving me and my family the run around and kept lying to us and the court on what they promised us in every meeting we would have with them and what they would agree to do to move forward dcs would constantly lie and kept ignoring us till they felt like talking to us. She would make sure to get answers for us and if dcs wouldn’t get to us she would make sure that if i couldn’t get answers from dcs she would and she would notify me everytime. Very time I had a question or just wanted to know more about the dependency or what was it looking like going in to court she would always email me back and also even give me a call and give me a call back even when the office was closed she would take the time out of her afternoon to speak to me. I highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of a experienced aggressive lawyer!!! You will not be disappointed.

Spectacular experience

Hiring an attorney is never because of a pleasant circumstance. I was referred to Alane Ortega when I needed to find an attorney for an emergency family issue. I started with Antoinette Olea, office manager, to schedule a consultation with Alane. Antoinette was incredibly sensitive, compassionate and... empathetic to my situation. I was treated with urgency and Alane made time for an immediate consultation with me to take care of my matter. Both Alane and Antoinette took the time to listen to me and actually care about my situation. I felt as though they were personally invested in helping me through one of the hardest times of my life. I'm so thankful for my experience with Ortega & Ortega. You're in good hands with this firm.

If you are involved with DCS, Alane is worth every penny.

Alane has been the Guardian Angel for me and my children. I cannot begin to express how much her hard work (and that of her staff) has impacted my life. Alane is not just your attorney, she's your support, your hero, your defender, and your friend. Many times I am sure I drove her crazy with my const...ant need to be informed of every detail on my case but she handled it in stride. Eventually, I let go because I knew I was in good hands. Know this... Just because she may not be filling you in on every detail of what is going on at that moment, she is painstakingly working behind the scenes to fight for you and your children. Even still, she would find time in the evening, on weekends, and even while on vacation to inform you of the necessary details on the case. Alane won my case against outstanding odds and got my case dismissed. I cannot say enough good things about this amazing human being. Technical Aspects: Alane is master strategist and treats her decisions like a game of chess rather than checkers. She is always two steps ahead of the opposition and is capable of strategizing beyond the current Dependency case. Although we were dealing with acute issues involved in the Dependency, she always had her hand on the pulse of the family court case which would surely follow. She understood how we could use information from the current circumstances to further support a future argument in family court. Alane is a force to be reckoned with in trial. She is able to quickly think on her feet, find immediate inconsistencies, and completely dismantle a witness; and she does it with class, confidence and tact. He redirect and cross examination skills are also extremely refined and masterful. An issue was raised during my testimony which was blown out of proportion and she was able to bring the entire Courtroom back to reality with just three simple questions. Her trial prowess is something everyone should witness because it's awesome. Alane can dissect evidence like a surgeon. This is in terms of our own evidence and that of the opposing parties. She is not shy about asking for clarification if something does not make sense. She also is able to recognize when an expert is needed and will work with you in order to find one who meets your needs professionally and financially. In conclusion, Alane has been a gift to my family. We could not have done this without her. She is what every attorney needs to be. She'll never say she can make miracles happen but I assure you, she can. Alane, if you're reading this, I am in your debt (both literally and figuratively lol) but it's the best money I've ever spent and it couldn't have went to a better or more competent person. From the bottom of all of our hearts, thank you.

Child Custody Case

The quality services I received with Mrs. Alane Ortega were remarkable. She made me feel like a very important client and took consideration for any and all concerns I had at the time. She was very attentive and was very detailed in all the work she did for me. She responded to requests in a timely m...anner and really exceeded the personal level services I expected. She was easily accessible, aggressive and got me the results that I wanted. By her focusing so much of her attention on my case, it allowed me to focus on what was important to me, my son. She is extremely compassionate and is devoted to the work that she does. She was honest and true from the beginning. When I first met with her in the initial consultation, she advised me of the process we would be going through and educated me on the most likely outcome for my situation, and to my amazement, her predictions were what was granted by the court! I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of a experienced aggressive lawyer!!!
