Araceli Margarita Lerma

Araceli has a passion for her job! She is smart, extremely knowledgeable, assertive, and very experienced family law attorney. In addition to being a strong and skilled attorney she is kind, honest, and compassionate. All traits that make Araceli stand out from others and makes her an amazing attorne...y in a time that can be personally challenging or one of the most difficult time in one’s life… custody, divorce, etc. Araceli maintains her clients well informed on process and is very responsive to questions and follow-up on cases. She engages with her clients carefully assessing the case, applying the law objectively, and agreeing on next steps and strategy. She is a beast as a litigator – respectful and powerful in the court room. In the two occasions I had to participate in hearings in front of two different judges, both judges alluded to Araceli being a very good and knowledgeable lawyer. Other traits and skills that stood out for me is that Araceli graduated from a top tier law school, she is bilingual (English/Spanish), culturally sensitive, has a great personality, and is a wonderful storyteller. Bottomline: Araceli exceeded my expectations and won everything I hoped for in my family law case. She prepares her clients with complete transparency and realistic expectations. I feel safer knowing that Araceli will continue to represent me in any future family law issues. I highly recommend her.

Attorney Lerma and her staff provided exceptional service during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Her sage advice and practical approach to difficult situations is clearly the result of many years of experience. Although very cliché, she was the calm in the storm. There are many divor...ce services out there, but if you want someone who truly cares about you and your family's wellbeing, seriously consider her services. I've referred two close friends and they are extremely satisfied. One even terminated services with a prior attorney who was getting nowhere with his case and he has now seen great progress since switching. Mrs. Lerma works within your budget and will provide answers when things may appear hopeless. If you are reading this review, there is a light at the end of this chapter of your life and I wish you the best of luck.
