Posted by Joe | July 11, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Exceptional!

Eileen Avila has been a great help to me this year.  So far, she helped me win a trial, beating my ex-wife’s request for a permanent domestic violence CLETS restraining order against me; helped me to regain possession of my residence; and successfully defeated a request for order by my ex-wife to set... aside the divorce judgment. Eileen is always available when I need her, including cell phone access.  She has been aggressive and assertive when needed, but understands that my family often needs kindness and understanding.  I give her the highest recommendation.

The Best Family Law Attorney Around

Eileen Avila is a very diligent and knowledgeable lawyer. She would always be well prepared for my cases and a fierce litigator in court. In addition to being a friendly and pleasant person, she is honest and advises her clients in a clever manner. Through my interactions with her, it became clear th...at she was very experienced with family law, especially evident when she made all the right decisions in my case. I had a very tough time with my divorce. My ex hired a ruthless attorney--it was clear that his attorney was interested in prolonging the conflict. Eileen, who is quite the opposite, always kept my best interests in mind and did a superb job dealing with the difficult situation. She is extremely compassionate, with a kind heart and truly believes in making the situation BETTER for the client and the child involved. Additionally, she made sure I received the best settlement possible. If you are looking for a compassionate, hard-working, and well-qualified attorney, I believe you won't find anyone better for the job.
