Client Testimonials

Ryan B.

5 Stars

“My lawyer contacts me and let’s me know everything going on.  I’m extremely satisfied with the service she has been giving me. … She has been nothing but helpful and caring, and I know my son and [I] will know each other now because of everything Rosario is doing for me.”

Sharing is caring!

“​[My attorney] always makes me at ease, she’s up front and she doesn’t say the the things that she thinks I want to hear, she gives me all the scenarios of what could be or what may not be.”

Dale B.

5 Stars

“Very helpful and patient.  Laura put me at ease very quickly and was strong and confident.​”

Rob C.

5 Stars

Through multiple curve balls, Ariel remained very calm, unemotional, and judicious. She always goes back to pointing out how the law supports me, and where there are gray areas, how the law still supports me. And she does so with an effective combination of professionalism, knowledge of the law, and humanity. She is extraordinarily intelligent, has an uncommonly high knowledge of family law when compared to other attorneys I’ve communicated with, has a tranquil and soothing demeanor that cannot help but be infectious, and is able to show where true north is when I can get lost in the details.
