Knowledgeable and Prompt

Ms. Briceño offered me a free consultation when I initially thought of divorce as a last resort. She gave me all information I needed if I eventually decided to go that route which I did. The divorce process can be extremely draining, stressful, you feel out of control and with a vast amount of unc...ertainty specially when there’s kids involved. Ms. Briceño’s professionalism and knowledge helped me attain favorable conditions for my kids and me. She provided a high level of guidance and problem solving techniques to come up with a good settlement. She was always a phone call away and knows her trade well! Her fees were very reasonable too! It was a true blessing to have her as my attorney during one of the most difficult times in my life.

Divorce case with Family

I highly recommend Ms.Briceno as your Lawyer. Her skills, experience and ability to communicate and represent you is professional and helpful. The pressure my case took and the knots in my stomach were hard to focus in the day to day...after I higher her, it was a heavy weight off. She had all requir...ed resources, knew what was the status, what was the next step, excellent follow ups and advice me in the benefit of my family and my finance. She got my divorce finalized, when it could've tooken a longer and harsh time. Have her represent you, she will have your back.

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.

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.

Awesome!

Mrs. Briceno-Velasco is the best! I've dealt with a number of attorneys over the years but none like her. She was always responsive, kept me in the loop, and constantly looked out for my interests. Furthermore, she knew my financial situation and was fair and specific in her billings...I never fel...t like she milked the time spent just to get paid. Most of all her directness was much needed especially when it's hard to be objective about one's situation. In family law situations, Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco would be the only one I would recommend!!!
