Elizabeth really cares

I have nothing but positive feedback for Elizabeth and her assistant. I felt like she truly cared for my best interest throughout this legal process. She did a lot of investigation to make sure I was not getting cheated from the other party. I liked everything about her. I am very happy with the outc...ome of my divorce. If you need legal counsel then look no further.

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.

Trustworthy, Responsive, & Great Value

I hired Mrs. Briceno to represent and guide me through my divorce case. I initially hired her because she offered a substantial amount of value for her services and provided me with a free initial consultation. She was very responsive and provided me with thorough explanations whenever questions we...re posed. She also did a fantastic job keeping me informed whenever communications took place with my ex's lawyer. Ms. Briceno displayed a slight lack in attention to detail and/or deficient comprehension of law encompassing co-mingled accounts, which ultimately cost me $1 - $2K for unnecessary hours she spent on my counter-settlement offer. I'll admit that a couple of my accounts were a bit confusing due to a savings account that transferred into another account on an annual basis following its maturity; however, she admitted the co-mingling of my accounts was not on her radar. Her services were well-received and appreciated outside of this issue. My dissolution of marriage ultimately settled outside of court and I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone engaged in a simple to moderately complex divorce case. She will work hard and do her very best to represent your best interests.

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.
