My experience with Attorney Elvia P Garcia

I really appreciate the excellent treatment I received from Attorney Elvia P Garcia and her coworkers. I received prompt responses to my phone calls and email messages regarding my case. I feel she gave it her best in handling my case. I’m still dealing with the consequences of my mistakes. I look fo...rward to completing all court ordered programs and paying all the fines imposed on me. Most of all, I want to get off probation and have Attorney Elvia P Garcia request to have my record ex sponge. Thank you

An Excellent Experience

I am so happy I chose Elvia Garcia to be my lawyer. I've never had cause to hire a lawyer before, so I was a bit nervous. I contacted her office looking for help with a legal name change, and chose Elvia because of her excellent credentials. Not only was I not disappointed, I was also immediately put... at ease. On the phone she was clear and cordial and answered all of my questions. Her subsequent communication via email (my preferred means of communication) were excellent. She kept me informed of my case and always had everything covered. She even helped to keep the fees down by searching for the best advertising deal. Mere hours after the judge signed my decree, I had a copy in my email inbox and a certified copy was waiting for me to pick up. I have really enjoyed working with her, and I am now confident that if I ever need an attorney again, I have one that I can depend on.

Divorce and Child Custody

As a foreign in this country I still have my right, but sometimes is important to have in your side the right professional, Elvia help me with my divorce and child custody, without going to fight on court, I got what I deserve so my child, so we could continue in our home in Santa Barbara. Beside... her professionalism, and her bilingual, she as a person is great and create confident and peace of mind on people in any situation. Thanks Elvia! for sure you will be highly recommended from my side, I greatly appreciate your help.

Great attorney

Elvia is one word AMAZING. She handled my child support/ custody case and always kept me up to date with the case. If I ever had a question I would email her and she got back to me right away. She is very professional and trustworthy. If my friends or family member ever need an attorney I will refer ...them to her. Elvia also helped me get a couple of old case expunged

Knowledgable, responsive, and efficient - exactly what you want!

Eliva was extremely helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable in handling my criminal matter. She guided me through the entire process and kept me informed of exactly what I needed to do to resolve my issue. A process I thought would take at least a month was resolved within about a week due to her hard... work and prompt communication, which was a pleasant surprise as in my experience other lawyer's response times really dragged out the issue making me needlessly worry. Highly recommend!

"When I first started practicing in Ventura county, a paralegal in our office told me that Elvia was one of the best attorneys in our Court. I now understand why. Even though we have had clients opposed to one another, Elvia has always conducted herself with professionalism, honesty and good character. I happily endorse her to anyone looking for a family law attorney."
