Outstanding Attorney / Outstanding Firm

Heather is an outstanding attorney to have on my team. My divorce has been the most stressful period of my life, and she has helped me navigate the situation with poise, confidence, and compassion. Heather's vast experience in the law shines through as she deals with difficult issues. I can not i...magine going through this experience without her and her team.

Best Lawyer

To whom it may concern: My name is Jennifer Vu. This is for: Heather Ramirez. she was the best lawyer. She was so specific, clear and well guiding us throughout the whole paperwork on our will plan. She is a wonderful, generous, trustworthy and very kind person to work with and she explains everythin...g nice and clear to our family before we sign the documents that came from her. Sincerely: The Vu family.

Strongly Recommend

I worked with Heather and her team on a parenting plan dispute. Throughout the whole process Heather and the team were extremely professional, timely with responses, and were not forceful in any decisions. I was part of the process the whole way through. They were very honest and direct with feedb...ack, options, and possible outcomes. I felt they had my best interest at heart rather than working to come up with ways to bill more legal fees. I would strongly recommend Heather and her team if you are looking to be involved, want an attorney who will be open with you, want to be treated as a person and not just another client, and want someone who is not scared to fight for you. Thank you, Heather, for your support and assistance throughout my case.

Sharp professional; yet compassionate, understanding and results oriented. Can't thank you enough for everything!

I am ashamed that it has taken me this long to write this (I recently came across the Avvo request while deleting old emails). I can't say enough of how thankful I am to have Heather R. and the Lombino*Martino Law Group alongside my boys and I during a most difficult time in our lives. I never belie...ved in divorce, but during this unfortunate time of our lives, I had to retain legal services in order to honor my sons dignities and what was left of mine. From the beginning, Heather was professional, yet genuinely compassionate and understanding of my situation. She was thorough with her clarifying questions, yet respectful. She explained the process and kept her word when she said she would follow-up; and I mean throughout the entire process of almost 2 full years! Before and after appearing in court on our behalf, both Heather and/or the paralegal staff were prompt in following up with us and following through with any issues pertaining to my Ex. In addition to many victories, Heather fought for my sons dignities in that their wishes regarding visitation be respected by their father – on their terms and not his. Heather also secured child support (which was far more than what my Ex declared he would pay) and post-secondary support. This was a devastating time for us in trying to piece things together and yet, hold on to hope. Heather and the team took on a bulk of the stress that my sons and I were feeling. This helped in making our new family dynamics a little easier to accept and adjust to. I believe Heather and the team at Lombino*Martino had come into our lives “for such a time as this.” They are praiseworthy for their standards of humanity, care and dignity. Thank you again for everything!

Excellent Family Law Attorney!

• I recommend Heather Ramirez • I hired Heather 1-3 years ago • Heather handled my divorce and child custody case • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers I could not have asked for a better attorney than Heather Ramirez. Heather was very knowledgeable, professional, dedicated, and responsiv...e when it came to my difficult divorce and child custody case. Heather was on top of every aspect of the case and the next steps to come. At times I thought maybe Heather worked too hard. On many occasions I would receive emails from her at 2:00am, even after we communicated several times during the normal working hours. Heather always made me feel comfortable with what was going on with the case. Heather helped me feel that everything was going to be okay once it was over. I knew Heather cared and always had my best interests in mind. Heather moved to a new law firm part way through my case. It was a very easy decision to stay with her as my attorney instead of staying with her previous firm. If you need an honest, hard-working, knowledgeable attorney, I definitely recommend Heather.
