Lawyer

Literally A life saver. Was stuck in a really bad situation with my daughters mother and after everything was said and done she pulled through and got me everything I could have hoped for and more. I would highly recommend her to anybody going through custody battles or family matters. I’ve alread...y recommended her to a couple people going through the same thing.

Becareful with language in divorce decree

In regards to Alimony, I told Ms. Ortiz that I only wanted Rehabilitative Alimony to finish school. She stated that Spousal Support was the same. Although I pressed the issue she assured me that it was the same. I should have listened to my gut instinct. It is not the same and after almost completing... my degree, my ex-husband decides to terminate the alimony. The Judge stated there was no language of Rehabilitative Alimony even though I had all my receipts, school tuition bill, etc. The Judge even said she believed me that I was going to school The Divorce Decree should have read Rehabilitative Alimony and the time frame for which the degree needed to complete. READ READ READ and RESEARCH. She is a great person and really cared about my case, but things could have been different had she just researched Rehab Alimony vs. Spousal Support.

Worst lawyer ever

This woman make promises til see money at her hand, but before you signed with her you had to give 5 grand for retainer and make you sign a contract to keep pay money, she did nothing for my case I not get satisfied, later I get a call from her partner demanding the rest of the balance and threat me ...with lawsuit and tell me I see you in court, If you have a case with this lawyer please quit and get a trustworthy lawyer this guys don't like to work, They love to cheat.

Professional

I was very satisfied with the help I received from my attorney she was efficient in getting me through my divorce, child visitation and support which I filed, and secondly she help me with getting my son emancipated from child support. I would use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone i...n need of an attorney under her expertise.

Very happy

Ms. Ortiz helped me gain custody of my son. From the beginning of the case she has been very attentive to the point of allowing me to call her cell phone number due to the urgency of my case. Unlike other attorneys that I saw, she allowed me to pay on a payment plan.
