Divorce and Child Custody Issues

The best attorney I had in my divorce case. Jesus has been very responsive, with a focus on finding solutions and resolving disputes without extensive court time or excessive fees for unneeded motions and hearings. I have already recommended me to friends who are happy with his services (I found hi...m through a friend, his former client, also very happy with his work and rightly so).

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.
