Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco - Simply the Best!

Others told me I would lose my case. However, Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco is not like the others. She patiently listened to my case. She carefully studied the facts. She did not give up. She skillfully negotiated a fair settlement with great care on my behalf. She had my best interests in mind from sta...rt to finish. And we won! Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco will have your best interests in mind, too. I highly recommend Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco to anyone going through a divorce or family law case. She will give you her best because her best is exceptional! She is simply the best!

The ABSOLUTE BEST!

If you need someone that is going to fight for you, Elizabeth is your person! She is absolutely amazing. I came into court with no experience, alone, and stressed. I was currently pregnant, working, and in college and I felt I would have to give into my ex’s requests. After much thought, I decided to... talk to Elizabeth regarding my restraining order and child custody situation with my daughter’s father. She was extremely busy at the time, but SHE STILL TOOK ON MY CASE (mind you she changed her plans just to help me with my situation). She fought hard for me and my daughter and helped me gain back a part of my life that I felt was taken away from me. My family and I are so thankful for her- not only was she an amazing lawyer, she became a really good friend. Elizabeth is the best of the best, extremely knowledgeable, and kind- I would 10/10 recommend her!

Highly Recommend Mrs. Briceno-Velasco

I hired Mrs. Briceno-Velasco for my Mother to handle a motion to terminate spousal support. She was extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming from the initial consultation, she explained that it wasn't an easy motion to oppose and that the likelihood of getting it reduced was high but that she would wo...rk hard to prove all elements of the supporting family code, and that she did. Through the entire process, she was very communicative, professional and compassionate with my Mother. In the end, she was right, this was not an easy motion to oppose but due to her knowledge, being well prepared and patience, my Mother prevailed on an issue that seemed close to impossible to prevail on. The opposing attorney and Judge didn't make things easy either, yet, she stood her ground. Mrs. Briceno-Velasco was strong while maintaining civility at all times which is important in an area of law that can tend to be a little cut throat. My Mom and I are truly thankful for her representation. Mrs. Briceno-Velasco treated my Mom and I with kindness at a time when we needed it most and we never felt like "just another client." I highly recommend her and while I pray we won't need her services in the future, it would be a true pleasure to work with her again.

Amazing Lawyer

I highly recommend Elizabeth Briceño-Velasco. I was going threw a tough time a few years ago and my friend referred her to me. I’ll never regret that moment when I met her. She was so kind and supportive I knew at that moment I wanted to hire her . She gave my child and I a second chance. I am truly ...grateful.

Completely dependable and trustworthy!

At the point in your life that you'll need a family law attorney, most likely it's not an easy time in your life. Mrs. Briceno makes the process so much more bearable and you know you're in good hands from start to finish. She explains everything thoroughly and in great detail. She gives you great le...gal advice, but ultimately let's you make the final decision. I can't say enough great things about Mrs. Briceno. I'm very grateful I was referred to her and had her throughout this legal process. Her staff is great as well. I dealt with Samantha on a lot of the paperwork and she is just as effecient as mrs. Briceno is. If you are looking for a family law attorney, I HIGHLY recommend Mrs. Briceno's law firm!
