Adrienne Howells Garcia

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 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.
