YOU CAN TRUST VALERIE!!

Valerie and Renee were both very focused on helping me work through my divorce. My experience before Valerie with 2 other divorce attorney's was horrible to say the least. I wasted my money and had to fire them both! Valerie was able to get to the facts and help me understand my rights. I cannot than...k Valerie enough, she was able to get me 50% custody of my boys!! I had to take this all the way to trial Valerie and Renee put together everything we needed to succeed in trail and get a fair resolution for ALL the issues I was experiencing with my ex... Valerie was 100% successful in this for me. Thank you both Valerie and Renee!

Badass Attorney

I could not be happier with Valerie and her assistant Renee in my divorce. They were on top of everything and made things easier on me during this time in my life. They truly made me feel that they were working for me and had my back. Even at times when I felt like things weren't going the way they s...hould they always reassured me and I always left their office with a smile on my face. I highly recommend using them. Not only did i gain 2 new friends, they got me my house and my patio furniture back. Forever grateful.

Continued success with Valerie!

Valerie and her assistant Renee are a team that I would highly recommend for any family law need. Valerie represented me recently for a divorce, and several years ago for a child custody case, both with highly successful results. She also represented a family member in a difficult divorce, with a... successful outcome. Valerie knows what to do, and she genuinely cares about her clients, and their future. Thank you Valerie and Renee!

Simply the BEST!!!

Simply the best!!! From front desk to one on one all I can say is Thank you. Divorce is not easy specially when dealing with a difficult person on the other end. All the staff took time and patience to deal and help me through the nightmare. Valerie is extremely knowledgeable, she takes the time to g...o over everything, and will return calls. I highly recommend her office to everyone.

Excellent results

You know that lawyer you're trying to call and he or she never calls you back or takes too long? Well, that's not Valerie. Valerie has been my attorney on various matters for several years. When contemplating a divorce, she cuts straight to the facts so you'll immediately know where you stand. She's ...one of the best negotiators I know. And, she works very hard for her clients. She also handled simple matters for me, such as medical directives and community property agreements. She's a great lawyer who charges reasonable rates and gets good results.
