Amazing Federal Attorney

Celia is one of the most amazing attorneys I have ever come across! She was able to take on an extremely complicated case and worked effortlessly to get us the win we needed with very little time to prepare. I've worked with a number of attorneys in the past, three of whom I still have on retainer, a...nd was impressed with her ability to know what needed to be done to get the win and let us know exactly what evidence she needed us to prepare. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an experienced attorney in need of justice!

Celia's a BEAST - Best investment I ever made

I sat back in awe, completely amazed as I watched Celia do what she does. Everything was against me at my 2nd hearing for a domestic violence temporary restraining order. As we checked in, the bailiff immediately told us our case was being transferred to a different room and my case would be reschedu...led for at least 21 days! I felt like my body was going to drop. I haven't seen my young child in 2 months and his father has refused to let me see him. Celia wasn't taking no for an answer; she talked to and negotiated with his attorney. My child's father would no longer seek a permanent restraining order against me and he agreed to 50/50 custody as we work with the courts for a permanent order. Celia immediately found a computer a few courtrooms down, drew up the papers, had him and his attorney sign them, and then walked into a courtroom. Mind you, we didn't have an appointment and they specifically told us this courtroom didn't have time to see or hear my case today. She got the judge to sign the order, making it legally binding. After 2 months of not seeing my child and being his primary care provider, personal chef, chauffer, and tutor, I'm finally getting legal rights and my son back. She did it! I knew she was a beast. I spoke to 10 family law attorneys before hiring her, and she, by far, was the best. She listened, kept me calm, and went above and beyond to make sure I got a favorable outcome with CPS, his attorney, and the courts. Paying her retainer was, literally, the best investment I ever made. Do not go to court without an attorney. If you're looking at this, call her. You'll see why she was my choice. I'm speechless. The service, time and care I received is beyond words. I am so grateful to Celia and her team.

Gets the job done! Knowledgeable. Friendly. Reasonable. Kind.

*** I was referred to Celia Robles at least a couple years ago as I was having a very hard time finalizing my Divorce due to previous Law Firms inability to settle and come to terms with my crazy ex wife. I went through these two law firms including the so called infamous Hughes & Hughes Law Firm tha...t supposedly could close any case - of course with the right amount of money $$$$. Tens of thousands of dollars later with these two I was still not divorced and in worse debt. I had to fire both as they were burying me in debt. Then came Ms Celia Robles! I had already given up but I had to finish this somehow. From the beginning it was so easy to talk to Celia, like talking to a friend or family member. She has always been so friendly and actually... I consider her as a friend to this day. Celia spent a lot of time with my case inside and outside the courtroom. She is very knowledge of Family Law and of the Court Systems. Lol, she is even knowledgeable on how to deal with unstable personalities. I know it wasn't any easy case due to my ex wife's madness but somehow she was able to sit down with my crazy ex wife at some point and talk some sense into her and of course finalize my Divorce. I owe her tremendously. I am pretty darn sure you won't ever find anyone like Celia who will put in the time to fight for you like this without giving them your arm or leg! I still owe you big Celia!!! I will never be able to thank you enough!!!

Handled Mom's Estate

Was looking for some help with a Trust for my mom. I immediately reached out to Celia who I have respected for years. I spoke her and she made things really easy. She worked with my Mom as she battled cancer all the way thru. Celia is a professional and caring, my family has experienced excellent s...ervice. Today my family happily relies on her office for counsel. She really went the extra mile for us and on top of that she was always there to keep us informed.

Professional and prompt!

Celia is one of the very few lawyers that I have come across who is eager to help. She is an amazing listener and gets to the root of the problem quick and efficiently! She is highly knowledgable about her specific areas of practice as well as on a more broad range of general topics which make her an... effective lawyer to have on your team.
