From alternating weekends to primary custody

When I first interviewed Kerenssa years ago, she was very helpful in my case and helped me get joint physical custody of my children. I was wrongfully accused of something I did not commit, and that trickled down to the custody of my children. I spoke to Kerenssa again in 2021, since I was taken bac...k to court. Since I hired her again in 2022, she has been working on my case, and strategized to get me the best outcome. Even the judge, acknowledged that the orders were probably not going to change. She has been a blessing in me and my children's lives and she deeply cares about her clients.

Child Custody/Domestic Violence

I cannot thank Kerenssa enough. I was a victim of domestic violence and was on edge, afraid, anxious, and feeling hopeless with my custody hearing approaching. My case was complex and I had not hired representation. I had talked to 4 other attorneys prior who told me they could not take my case with ...less than a week before the hearing and claimed I didn't have enough evidence of DV. When I spoke to Kerenssa and explained my situation she immediately took my case and fought hard for my daughter and I until the very end. Throughout the whole process she listened, was honest, very responsive, and highly knowledgeable. She believed me about the abuse I endured with my daughter's father when other attorney's didn't and in the end got us a result I could have never imagined. Not only is her presence in the courtroom POWERFUL, but she is also a trauma informed attorney who is clearly passionate about advocating for clients who are in unjust situations. She really was Godsent in such a difficult time in my life and I cannot recommend her enough!!!! It is the best money my family ever spent, I cannot believe this is the life we get to live now. She freed my daughter and I, she gave our life a second chance.

Divorce finally done

Kerenssa was my third attorney. I am so happy that I came across her profile. I was married for only a short time but my case was prolonged either by the other party or my own attorneys. I was desperate to finalize it. During the first free consult, Kerenssa outlined what could potentially happen in ...the case. She presented me with options. I really appreciated her time and she told me so much information in such a short period of time. She asked for a trial in my case since it did not seem like anyone was settling. 2 months after retaining her, I got my trial. Which finalized all the issues in the case. She did what my previous other 2 attorneys did not do, which is out some finality in my case. I really appreciate her time and how empathetic she was towards my situation. I dont live in California, and she took care of it. Thank you Kerenssa for your time and for finally allowing me to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

An Attorney that cares!

I have so many good things to say about Mrs. Perez that I don’t know where to start. My previous attorney was nothing like her. Since the first consultation she made me feel extremely comfortable and showed me she cared about my case. She stated what my chances were since the beginning and told me it... was a difficult case but she would do anything she could to win. I went to see her because I needed legal advice, I had joint legal and physical custody. I asked Mrs. Perez to represent me when I found out father filed for full custody. The following 5 months were extremely stressful not only for me but for my son as well. Mrs. Perez showed and extremely interest in my case and my son and handled everything like if it was her own. I’ve never come across an Attorney who cares so much about her clients. She paid attention to every single little detail in my case and every little thing I informed her of. The day of the hearing she surprised me even more. Every piece of information I had previously sent her through email, text or phone call was on my file and submitted to court, she didn’t miss a thing. I was shocked when I heard her talking about my case and every single event like if she had experienced it with me. Not only did father’s request get denied but I got full custody!! I can’t thank her enough. Even after the hearing she contacts me to make sure everything is good and the court order is being followed by the other party. She’s worth every single penny.

Simple, Easy Divorce

My recent divorce was a fairly simple matter - no kids and only asset was a shared condo to sell. It took me months of struggling to understand the law and divorce process before I finally got around to contacting and hiring Kerenssa and my only regret is not reaching out to her sooner. She made a pa...inful and stressful process a breeze and she was worth every penny! She was incredibly knowledgeable and understanding of my situation. I feel that she represented my interests well and thoroughly explained the process and what we were doing next, instead of just telling me to fill out a form. My life was already very complicated and exhausting and having her take the reins was a huge boon to my stress levels. I've never hired an attorney before, but I would highly recommend Kerenssa to anyone going through a divorce.
