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.

Thank you Kerenssa

I hired Kerenssa for a hearing taking place in CA that challenged jurisdiction. During our first consultation, she explained that she did not know the answer to the specific question I had and would do further research and give me a response soon. I appreciated that she took the time to find out whet...her she could help me. A couple days passed and I received an email from her following up on her research. I was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I decided to hire Kerenssa to get our case dismissed. She was a shark in court and I truly believe the information she submitted to court on our behalf beforehand changed the judges mind completely. Our case was dismissed and I am able to put this chapter behind us. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Kerenssa for your help and for what you did for my family and I.

Absolutely The Best

Ms. Perez was recommended to me by another attorney while I was beginning to go through the first steps of a divorce. Before the case started, however, my ex-wife submitted outlandish claims in order to get a DVTRO. Ms. Perez took literally everything and prepared it for the hearing. I thought th...ere were times she was too busy to reply, but it was actually her being hard at work ensuring everything was reviewed. In the courtroom, she does not mess around. She stands her ground firmly and will object any/all items that are irrelevant to the case or items that are hear/say meant to benefit on an emotional viewpoint. Anything the other party says, even if it was a ways back, she took notes to challenge continuity and discrepencies. She won my case and got the DVTRO thrown out and I got rights back for my daughter. You must come correct with Ms. Perez! Let her do the fight her way and you'll all but certainly have the victory! Thank you Ms. Perez for the win!

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.
