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!

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.

Child Custody Case

Unfortunately I had to go through a custody battle with my childrens father. I was given Elizabeths name from a close friend as a reference. I couldnt have been given a better person to help me through this difficult time. I felt she always had my best interest at hand. She kept me very informed and ...advised me what my options were. At no time during my case did I feel powerless, she worked with me and had the childrens best interest in mind. She was very professional and kind, I felt she had genuinine concern for me and my children. Elizabeth was always available for phone calls and returned emails back promptly. The staff at the attorneys office was always nice and helpful as well. If you are reading these profiles it is unfortunate that her services are needed, but I truly am thankful I came across Elizabeth and I am sure those who choose to retain Elizabeth will not be let down. She is a great person and a caring attorney. Good luck with your circumstances, Sincerely, A Grateful Mother

Great work Elizabeth! keep up the good work.

Being a police officer for over 15 years I had a firm grasp of the workings of criminal law, but had almost no clue at all about what to expect in a family law matter. Liz helped me with a very difficult divorce. It involved a restraining order, child custody issue, and a lengthy 730 evaluation. Sh...e was very knowledgeable and always kept me informed of issues that would arise with my case. She was always readily available to guide me through this matter and made sure that all my questions where answered regarding any of my issues/concerns. I was granted a very favorable judgment when all was said and done. I cant help but think this was as a result of Liz's hard work and dedication to her clients. I am very pleased to know that there are still people such as Liz who take great pride in their work. The staff at Vincent W. Davis & Associates was OUTSTANDING! Every time I met Liz I was very pleased with the level of professionalism exemplified by everyone at this office. I would highly recommend this firm especially Elizabeth.

I Couldn't Have Asked For Better Results!

I am really happy with the way my family law case was handled by the Law Offices of Vincent W. Davis, especially Attorney Elizabeth Briceno-Velasco. I couldn't have asked for a better result in my case. Before hiring them, I was dreading going to court because I was overwhelmed by all the paperwork... and did not really understand what I was supposed to do in my case. I'm happy to say that the process was made alot easier with their help. I don't think I would've gotten the same good results without them. When I was involved with another legal matter, I hired them without a hesitation. If anyone has any questions, feel free to email me at [Email removed by Avvo Staff]
