The Best Lawyer I dealt with

Denise has been a tremendous asset to have on my case. She is very responsive to any of your questions, emails and calls. She was extremely supportive. She GENUINELY WANTS YOU TO WIN.I lost trust on attorney's real intention. But she reconciles me with dealing with lawyers. There are good and genuine... attorneys. She is one of them. She wrote books on abusive relationship and how to protect yourself from it legally. I just regret not meeting her at the beginning of my case. Definitely, I recommend her to all my gals!

Great job

Denise handled my divorce quickly and efficiently. She communicated throughout the process and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. She is honest and fair and I would recommend her

Highly recommended.

When the world seemed to be falling apart around me, Denise helped me get through it. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Trevino Law to anyone facing a divorce.

Favorable Outcome with Denise's Help

Denise came highly recommended to me by an attorney friend. I had two previous consultations with attorneys and was left disappointed. Denise was great helping me reach a favorable outcome - much better than I had anticipated. She is reliable, available, responsive and professional. What I like be...st about Denise is that she balanced her role as an aggressive advocate with watching out for everybody's emotional state. She also had reasonable fees and was efficient with her time.

Honest Solution Provider

Family issues such as a Divorce can be very frustrating and stressful. It can also be extremely expensive especially if it lasted 11 years as my case did. I remembered what the accountant from my first attorney's firm said to me after they billed me 20K in expenses..." You should have planned your ...divorce better." Given the choices of providing for my two young sons or continuing with the first firm, we parted ways. After a few years of trying to work out the agreement myself, it came to a point where I needed help. Remembering what the accountant said I did just that and I planned my divorce better. Denise was recommended to me and I had called and set up a consultation. I had talked to two other firms already, Trust was a very important issue to me, and as our conversation moved forward, I knew she would work in my best interest and I retained her services. My case had a few twists involved and she was always on point prepping my case and in the court room. She also had a way of keeping my frustrations and emotions in check and even keeled. I trusted her and she gave me the results my family needed and settled my case in a timely manner. If you are looking for someone who will work hard for her client, she is one you should definitely consider.
