Edward W. Lovato

We consulted with Edward Lovato regarding a pending case. He did his research before meeting with us, and familiarized himself with the case so he was ready and prepared to answer any questions we had. He was clear and thorough on his advice to us. We felt confident in our future decisions after meet...ing with him.

I hired Ed in Sept of 2018 to help me with some Child Support issues and with visitation as my Ex was withholding my child from me. I should of fired him a month later because basically all he did was bankrupt me. So far it has cost me 8,500 for literally nothing. Had a court date last month, not muc...h happened as the Judge (I think) was sick or something. Tues of this week, I had another court date. Ed called me the day before asking for all my pay stubs from my employer. I was on the road heading home from out of state. Then, in the AM, HOURS before court, he asked for my taxes. Those were not readily available for me to get and when I told him that he got nasty with me saying something about court being in a few hours and he needed it. I would think he would of asked for these documents days or a week or so prior. I asked him if I needed to bring an important witness that actually came to the cancelled court date, and he said no it wasn't needed. Well guess what. It WAS needed. in fact when we went outside the courtroom to talk and I said this person needed to be there he said "your right and that's on me". Now due to Ed not being prepare I could be owing monies I don't owe. This will ruin me financially not to mention the 8500 he already got, for literally a couple motions and a bunch of emails. Heed my warning and do NOT use this atty. He is rude, and could care less about you and will only give you an attitude instead of a little understanding. Emotions are high in these situations with regards to family issues and you won't get anything from Ed.
