Reviews

“Lucy will protect your interest to full the extent of the law in as short a time frame as possible.  Unfortunately, many divorces become very adversarial and having someone to keep you focused without attached drama is refreshing.”

Gilbert Gallegos

“Lucy was very attentive with concerns/issues that I had and I had the genuine belief she and her firm  cared about the outcome my specific issues with my case.”

Robert Elizalde

“The thing that I like most about working with Lucy is that she and her staff are always readily available to me whether it be by phone or email. I frequently have questions and they are answered by her or her staff almost immediately. Her approach makes me feel that she really cares about my case and it also makes me feel I can trust her. This is very important to me.”
