Honest and Caring

I retained Norma for custody case and She was very professional and she was able to win my case. I highly recommend her due to her patience and caring nature but most of all her knowledge and commitment to the case. She was always accesible and willing to explain in detail until. I always felt con...fident when waking in to the courthouse because she would take the time to prep and let me know what to expect.

Good Fees, Knowledgeable, Professional, Passionate and Compassionate about her Clients

I found out about Norma by a friend of mine that had used her services and highly recommended her. I needed to hire a lawyer quick and she took my very complicated and difficult divorce. With an ex-husband with deep pockets and two also very good lawyers, Norma found herself in the middle of a very u...gly and messy divorce- that also included child custody. I have so many good things to say about Norma as an attorney and as a person. Not only does she work on your case because you are paying her, but she is compassionate about the difficulty and stress of a divorce. However, when she really wants you to see things clearly, she is honest and firm about telling you what to expect if you only rather curl up in a ball and try to ignore the facts. Norma not only fought as an divorce attorney, but she also fought against injustice with people that have the money to navigate the legal system and take law to their advantage by paying everyone off. With every other attorney charging an insane amount in fees, I believe that Urena law firm fees are fair, but the work that she does is the best representation you will find. This women works hard for her clients and for what's right. Thank you so much for all of your work Norma, you truly care about your clients and for that and much more my son and I thank you.

I would like to thank you for making me day./month/year. I was ready to start my day expecting to have to battle a few fights. But I read your review and it made me cry because of all the nice things you said. I don't know who you are but thank you!

Best Attorney - Highly Recommended - Reasonably Priced

I hired Attorney Urena when I was in a very difficult situation. I went through an extremely tough custody case and divorce. I needed someone with a fair price that would also be my biggest advocate and work hard for me. Attorney Urena worked extremely hard for me. She succeeded in getting custody my... daughter and I needed and helped me through the entire process. I would never wish anyone a divorce and custody issues but if you have them you are in the best hands with Attorney Urena. I will use her in the future as needed. She was a joy to work with and an extremely handworker. She had me and my daughters best interest at heart and delivered on what was necessary for my case to have a successful out come. It wasn't an easy process but having her on my side made the hard process a lot less painful.

The best attorney I could wish

I met Norma after I separated from my husband after 17 years of an unhealthy relationship. I made the first appointment with her because I rather speak Spanish and wanted to feel comfortable. I was more than happy because I had found the most compassionate, dedicated and honest attorney I could wish.... The process of my divorce was long and burdensome. Norma was always ready to hear my concerns and to find a solution for them. I truly believe that Norma works for the justice. Norma made possible that my kids and me can live in peace. I will be my entire life grateful to Norma for it.
