Very knowledgeable and genuine

Milda was kind and quickly took my appointment request with my husband to discuss Will and Living Trust services. She was detailed with educating us on our needs in order to protect ourselves and our assets. She got all our paperwork to us timely and gave detailed instructions on what to do. I highly... recommend her services.

Competent and Friendly

Milda was very pleasant the first time I met her. She helped with a complicated divorce and immigration case and was able to shuffle both in a manner that many would not. I feel very safe in the fact that she will be handling my affairs on my behalf. I recommend Milda for your family law and immigrat...ion law needs.

Excellent Tax Review Consultation

Milda's subject matter expertise and professional but easy to understand approach is exactly what I needed, she was able to provided me with the breakdown structure information that I requested to understand. I had previously talked to several others but none could answer all of my questions. She an...swered all of my questions and patiently explained the reasons to my inquires. She is very detailed oriented and precise, I would recommend her to anyone interested in obtaining tax services. Thank you Milda!!

Excellent Handling of Complicated Divorce Case

Attorney Ms. Milda Goeriz has handled my divorce case this fall and I was very pleased with her legal services. She is very professional and experienced in her field of practice. Her legal knowledge and timely advice were invaluable to the desired outcome of my complicated case. She responded to ema...ils and calls without a delay and was flexible in scheduling appointments. I felt that my case was treated as a priotity at all times. I should definitely recommend her to future clients.

Highly recommended!!!

I was considering filing for my divorce myself since there are websites out there that helps you prepare for them and my divorce was relatively simple. What I didn't realize, until I started researching the process, was how convoluted it was and how much paperwork you have to do. If you don't do di...vorce every day, then it becomes confusing real quick. Not to mention that you have to take time out of your schedule to go to the courthouse to file your paperwork ... and that line is so long! I then realized that I couldn't do this by myself and started calling around for lawyers to help me. I found Milda through her ad on craigslist and she was the ONLY one that I spoke to that was willing to work with me regarding her attorney fees (and they are VERY reasonable compared to some out there - I won't mention any names, but you know who you are). She was able to work with me regarding my divorce, kept me informed all throughout the process, filed my paperwork, and even answered my questions AFTER my divorce was finalized. She made it virtually pain-free. She's so awesome! I highly recommend Milda for all your divorce needs.
