Excellent lawyer

Elizabeth is an exceptional lawyer. I was referred to her by a friend. I was going through one of the hardest times in my life, divorce, and Elizabeth made me feel at ease. She was very professional and accommodating. One specific trait that stood out to me about Elizabeth was her honesty. She did th...ings the right way. She was not deceitful or wanting to just take my money. She listened to my needs and guided me in the right direction. My husband and I decided to reconcile and Elizabeth has been supportive during my decision. If anything, she asked me several times if I was sure that I wanted to go through a divorce. She always had my two little boys interest at heart. She is honest, loyal, a woman of integrity and professional. Always got back to me whenever I called her. I highly recommend Elizabeth.

From another satisfied client:

I first came to Elizabeth for a legal consultation in September 2015 to better understand my rights as a mother with a possible custody battle of my unborn child. Elizabeth was patient with all of my questions and very thorough with her explanations. I didn't hire Elizabeth until November 2015, and w...ith my request to get papers filed and served immediately, elizabeth and her assistant were able to get this done expeditiously, even with my (now) ex husband being in another state. From then on, I always felt like Elizabeth had my back! She guided me throughout this whole divorce/ custody case, and gave me the knowledge to help make my decisions with confidence. For being such a small firm, I never had to wait more than 24 hours for a response to a call, voicemail or email, which made this normally difficult time that much easier. I am truly grateful to have had Elizabeth in my corner. I highly recommend her and her team!

Child Custody

I hired Ms. Briceno after spending a very long and difficult divorce process. I was looking for an attorney to help me with my Child Custody Case. The first thing I realized is her ability to remember details that will help me in my case. She also did not have any prejudged me as a father seeking cus...tody. She filed for a hearing at the right time and was always available whenever I had a question or needed to meet with her. In court, she was very prepared and skillfully argued my case to the judge. She is one of the best attorneys in the area because of her dedication to get her clients what they want. She was clear about what to expect but was not afraid to appear in front of the judge and fight for me. I have so much respect for Ms. Briceno and her assistant Ms. Ramos and I am forever grateful for their dedication to help me with my case.

worth every penny

Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco was actually referred to me by my paralegal who I hired last fall of 2014 to help me out with a child custody/divorce case I was having with my child's father and hopefully soon-to-be-ex. What was supposed to be a simple case and easily resolved, since we were only married ...a couple months, actually took almost a year. It was in April 2015, after my most recent court date, that I decided I might need a lawyer since my now ex-husband was being difficult, trying, and unreasonable to say the least. In July 2015, I hired Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco as my lawyer and represent me in court. Although I only saw Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco officially two times and a couple other times dropping off materials, she was able to understand exactly what I needed and wanted in my upcoming trial in August 2015. Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco kept me calm and focused during the August 2015 trial and was able to deal with my now ex-husband in such a manner that I was awarded by the judge every single thing I wanted. I was so happy and relieved to finally be done with all these court proceedings and I don't think it would have been withouth the help of Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco who also has a very competent and helpful assistant named Samantha Ramos. Despite our brief associations with each other, they have made a huge impact on my life, my child's life, and my family's. I am thankful to the both of them for all that they did for us.

Outstanding Legal Representation!

I hired Mrs. Briceno to represent us in a domestic violence case. My initial goal was to get protection for my sister and her children, without any knowledge of any court process whatsoever. She was extremely professional since day one, resourceful, focused, very involved in the case and not to ment...ion kind to my sister whom was in a very distressed state. I have to say I was impressed by her strong performance in the courtroom, not only did she get a prolonged protection order for my family but custody of the children as well. I highly recommend Mrs. Elizabeth Briceno.
