Elvia Garcia-Pena

Our 20yr old son, while visiting San Barbara in summer 2015 fell foul of your strigent posession of alcohol in public laws. He also produced a false evidence of age card. He was duly arrested and charged with very serious charges that would on conviction have serious implications for the rest of his... life. He returned home to Ireland and an arrest warrant issued due to his non attendance in court. We became aware of the case for the first time in May 2018. Not knowing what to do, I searched the web for attorneys in Santa Barbara. I had the good fortune to stumble upon Ms. Elvia P. Garcia who without doubt is the most competent, efficient and professional attorney I have dealt with in almost forty years in law enforcement. She took possession of the case from the first moment I spoke with her on the telephone and she saw it through to successful and fair conclusion. She kept me up to date almost daily and she was always available to take a call notwithstanding the time difference.She dealt with the case in the absence of our son which meant a huge financial saving for me. Her fees were very reasonable and realistic. Her advises were well researched and her knowledge of the law and of the legal system was outstanding. Her ability to plea bargain is second to none. She spoke in terms that was easy to understand and she portrayed a genuine interest in our son's future. Our family owe her an enormous debt of gratitude and I have no hesitation in recommending her. She is a credit to the legal profession.

Elvia is really responsible at her work she is very on it she does help you with whatever problem is going on in your case, she is an awesome attorney I definitely recommend her she was very understanding in what I was asking for and will definitely get you granted what it is that your asking for. I... am very satisfied with her work.

I was referred to Elvia back in 2014 while trying to obtain shared custody of my son. I was faced with a situation where I might not have been able to be a part of my child's life. Relations with my son's mother had always been difficult and without a written agreement or court order my presence in... my child's life would have suffered. Elvia advised me through the entire situation and was always quick to respond when I had questions. The case eventually ended up in courts a total of three times with one of the times being a trial matter. Elvia was very professional in court and I always felt as if we always obtained the results that we were after. The entire process was very difficult to say the least but we were ultimately successful with our case. Elvia's not only helped me obtain the custody that I wanted but also helped me keep a decent relationship with my son's mother through the process. I am now seeing my son regularly and am happy knowing he will grow up with his father in his life. I would strong recommend Elvia as a lawyer, she was great at her job and was a really great human being to get to know during this process.

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.
