Adrienne Howells Garcia

Adrienne accepted my complex custody case, giving herself only 1 week to prep for the immediate danger order hearing. This was my first time dealing with the law but she was excellant at walking me through every step in the preperation process. She got straight to work and we won that case. Adri...enne continued to represent me for close to a year and a half. She was always cognizant of my financial situation and helped me keep the cost down as much as possible. Adrienne is professional, genuine and candid. She gives her honest,professional opinion and does not sugarcoat anything. She knows the law, would give the good and bad potential outcomes and was very responsive via phone and email. Adrienne stuck by my side and fought tirelessly for me and my children. She was the best choice. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for representation in family law.

I do not know how I would have gotten through my divorce if I had not had Adrienne as my legal counsel. From our very first interaction she was so honest which I appreciated and found refreshing. Adrienne not only knows the law, she practices always keeping the law in the forefront of any conversat...ion or interaction, which was nice for me because it made things simple regarding what could be negotiated and what was simply the law. She worked hard with opposing counsel to ensure the process continued to move forward as she recognized that I could not move forward in life until my divorce was finalized. Adrienne is extremely organized and has an uncanny attention to detail. I trust her implicitly and although I do not plan on getting married or divorced again, if I did find myself in that situation, I would not want any other counsel except Adrienne. Adrienne is a fierce advocate for her clients and she really took the time to get to know me as a person, my sense of humor and values as well as my triggers (I hate that word) or issues where I could easily become emotional. Adrienne is very honest and will give it to you straight so you always know where you stand. She kept me on track, moving forward and managed my emotions with grace and compassion. She gave me reassurance when needed, always keeping the law in the forefront of any decision or negotiation. There were times I thought my head was going to explode, and she was exceptional at bringing me back to the task at hand in order to reach the finish line with fair and equitable resolution for all involved. Divorce is not for me and like many others I didn’t get married to get divorced, but Adrienne made it not only bearable but at times enjoyable. I should clarify, the divorce itself was not pleasant but working with her was an absolutely enjoyable experience and made one of the worst times in my life a little more bearable. We made it through as a team, with her leading the way from start to finish, and I will forever be grateful for her service and the due diligence she gave not only to my case but to me as a person.

I hired Adrienne when I made the difficult decision to leave my husband. When I first met Adrienne, she really took the time to get to know my situation/background and figure out what was important to me. I was hesitant about getting a lawyer at first because my (ex)husband and I agreed that this wou...ld be amicable process. I can’t express how thankful I was to have Adrienne in my corner as the process went on and became more-messy than I would have ever expected. Adrienne was extremely professional, while still relatable, and presented each option throughout the divorce process in a straightforward and easy to understand way. She took the time to explain what each step meant, translate legal jargon, and remind me of my original goals and values. When things became more emotional and challenging she was a rock for me and fought for what was important to me. Based on my unique situation, I thought the divorce process would be simple. I quickly learned how much people can change. Without Adrienne, I don’t know how I would have gotten through it. I would highly recommend her to anyone having to go through this difficult process.

Adrienne is a phenomenal attorney who truly has the best interests of her clients and their families in mind. She is highly communicative through every step of the legal process, and very open to any questions that may arise for a client. She cares deeply about ensuring the end result is generated ju...stly and fairly, and will not unnecessarily draw things out or cure corners for her own benefit. There was no time during the six months in which I worked with Adrienne that I had doubts about her methods. I was very lucky to be referred to her, and I'm hopeful your message will help others take her counsel.

I would recommend Adrienne for anyone having to go through Family Court. I was in a situation that had to do with custody of my child, and Adrienne showed empathy and helped chart a path to resolution. I feel like she gave me honest feedback at all junctures during the process, even if it wasn't wha...t I wanted to hear. She forced me to see every issue from both sides when having to decide how to proceed. Creating this level of buy in allowed me to trust her completely and value her legal opinion at times when difficult decisions needed to be made. Adrienne was very responsive to all my questions, whether by phone or email and took the time to explain the 'why' behind her reasoning. I never had the sense that she was rushing me or wouldn't answer any question I had. She made me feel like I was her only client and I simply cannot say enough good things about her. With her guidance, I ended up in a better position than when I first met her for a consult. Because of this, my relationship with my child has never been better.
