SAVED MY LIFE !!!

I had a criminal case and Ramona helped me out a lot. She stuck with me 100%. She was very understanding and at the end she got my case entirely dismissed. Thank God that God put her on this earth to save me. I very highly recommend this attorney.

A COMPASSIONATE ATTORNEY!!

I was referred to Ramona, and was told that she was dependable, that was an understatement. She is representing my daughter in a precedent setting civil suit against her molester! From the beginning, Ramona has handled my daughter with such care and love, as if she were her own. This has been a ho...rribly trying time for my family, but anytime I need to talk, or need anything, Ramona's right there for me, day or night! The day that the pedophile was wrongfully acquitted in the criminal courts, Ramona was the first person I thought to call. Not because she's my attorney, but because she has become my friend. I can never thank her enough, and no matter the reult of the civil suit, I know with all my heart and soul that Ramona did everything she could. Thank you Ramona for not being the sterotypical attorney

Very professional and great work ethic

Ramona did an excellent job for what was needed in my case. She is extremely methodical and very detailed oriented in her duties. I do not really understand why someone has placed a negative review on her on this site, she did a great job for me. She was able to successfully get a lawsuit dismissed f...or me. I would utilize her services again, if I was ever in need. She is very professional.

worst attorney for family law

I used Ramona for almost two years in a divorce case that should have lasted six months. I would have done better going pro per on my own. She omitted things from my file and did not return calls. Does NOT know about family law. She has been sued at least once from one of her peers and after sharing ...my file with a retired judge, we are filing a complaint with the State Bar. She has no ethics and I hope that the bar concludes that she is unfit to practice law. I wish someone had told me this months ago. It has been a nightmare that could have been avoided. Good luck in your search for a reputable attorney, I am sure there are many out there. Ramona is not one of them.

Replied last December 29, 2010

Unfortunately, the court found that this woman forged a real estate document she offered to the court during trial. She should have known better as she was a real estate agent. The court found this act of dishonesty "reprehensible." She was simply not credible. I never dreamed she would lie under oath. This is not my fault. I do not know how all of this calculates to me having no ethics. We attorneys are bound by the laws of confidentiality, so I really cannot say more except that every allegation she raises against me is as dishonest and/or misleading as the Court already found her to be. As an additional note, with attorneys forced to keep client communications confidential, it is very unfair that AVVO allows clients to bash us when we cannot defend ourselves with true facts. This produces a one-sided forum for slander unless we choose to sue our clients.
