    A father and son reunited!! In a state where granting custody to a father is extremely difficult and nearly impossible. We were feeling defeated and hopeless. Michelle made the impossible possible. Proving my step son was being alienated and abused. She defended my fiancée after being falsely accused multiple times during the duration of the custody battle. Accusations that could have cost my fiancée his very freedom! She gave us much needed guidance and support during everything. Especially after mother’s retaliation every time a hearing didn’t go in her favor. It was a long road and when we worried about payment she was so sweet and understanding. Telling us not to give up and that she would help us work something out. Showing me her generosity and genuine concern for the child’s best interest. I’m so great full for her,she is not only a excellent attorney but an exceptional person. She handled herself with class and restraint in the court room with a bully attorney. She was aggressive, fair and fought like hell for us. Made the court see the child’s best interest and not the politics or drama. Our case was so complicated and difficult, but she succeeded. Society has a prejudice point of view when it comes to a father’s capability to care for his child. Michelle certainly delivered a message that fathers are equally capable of caring for their children and it is possible for even a mother to neglect her ow. child. Honesty always prevails. Thank you Michelle, Thank you to Yvette for her help. For being there constantly, taking all of our calls even after hours, for the emotional support, empathy and willingness to help. I cannot put sufficient words together to express our gratitude for you both. Your entire team treated us so well every-time we went to the office. I know we couldn’t have picked a more honest and fair representation. Once again we are forever great full. I will recommend anyone who needs legal guidance to this firm. We appreciate you so much and hold a special place for you.

    Through the pains of child custody Michelle Cortez was always there! Every step of the way!! She is very supportive, knowledgeable and very kind hearted. I’ve prayed countless nights for the strength to get through this case! It’s like God has sent down an angel in the form of Michelle! She has definitely worked wonders!! She is an amazing lawyer, but now she is more than that! A friend ♥️. Her communication is substantial! I knew what was going on every step of the way! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal assistance!

    Who needs a 1000 friends when you could have Michelle Cortez!! This whole team is awesome. Ivette, Letty, Sabrina. Through the struggle of child custody process. The headaches and lack of representation. My sons mother kept my son from me in efforts to discourage my relationship with him. I was referred to Michelle Cortez. Although I have a long road ahead of me. Michelle has gotten me physical custody of my son and continues to fight for my rights as a father. One false accusation after another false accusation. Drama and chaos that my sons mother and her attorney have put us through and continue to put us through. I am confident that when this ends the outcome will be in my sons best interest. We have made the best decision in Having Cortez and Hoskovec. Thank you for helping me these past 5 months.

    Pamela Faris was great! She really cared about my case and wanted to make sure I got everything I deserved. She worked fast and efficient to resolve my case. I would recommend her and everyone there! I was very pleased with the outcome!

    Pamela was able to get my divorce done in just a few weeks despite a myriad of problems. Despite the problems, she was communicative and kept me abreast of everything during the process. I would definitely recommend Cortez and Hoskovec to anyone looking to get a divorce.

    Outstanding Professional legal team. Kudos to Elizabeth Ashton, Amy Bailey and Tina Arce. My case couldn't be in better hands! This team takes care of the stressors so you don't have to. They have been professional, responsive and have guided me thorough a very trying time. I have the utmost confidence in my legal team!!!

    Elizabeth Ashton and Cristin Fuller, are very professional, responsive and are cost conscious keeping costs down where possible. They are very good at explaining what is going on and making sure you understand. I highly recommend them.

    Twila and Tina were very professional and did great working with me through the divorce process. Twila has a lot of experience and it shows. Good communication. Highly recommend!

    I worked with them regardless of if they do not remember me as a client (proves part of my point). You pay for nothing at this legal group (horrendously expensive for absolutely nothing) and they do not finish work. My other attorney had to argue with them to fulfill paperwork,(absolutely would recommend my new attorney and I left her a review so you can check her out). Please shop around and choose another group, or person. The best thing I did was get a new attorney.

    I would like to give a “shout out” to Kim Padilla from New Mexico Legal Group for well representing my son in his divorce case. He originally hired an attorney with another firm to handle his case and after several months of very little communication he thankfully switched gears and hired Kim. She and her team quickly put their superhero capes on to get the case back on track and to meet important court submission deadlines. She thoughtfully guided my son through the process and well prepared all of us for trial. She was ethical, confident, articulate and compelling in trial, securing what turned out to be the most favorable decision by the court! Kim Padilla has my highest recommendation. If you need an outstanding legal advocate in the matters of family law, you must consider her.

    Attorney Anthony Griego and the staff at Justice Legal Group are amazing. They represented my husband in a custody hearing and we could not be happier with the outcome. You all took a huge weight off our shoulders and we are so happy to have his children safe at home with us.

    Anthony and Amanda were absolutely incredible throughout the process of my divorce. I was in a very financially abusive situation, and they made sure I came out of it with the ability to thrive, and with renewed confidence. I purposefully chose them because I knew they could fight for me when I was merely in the midst of trying to find my voice again. I'm so grateful I had them on my side. Their ability to manage the most toxic of situations is unparalleled.

    I used Justice Legal Group to help me obtain custody of a child that I had been taking care of for the last two years without the parents help. I was a little taken aback by the price at first but the service and communication really made up for it. I had run into a bit of a snag (which prolonged our goals) and they were able to help work with the issue and get everything taken care. Any questions I had they were quick to respond either via email or phone. I was able to reach them quickly too. I had callbacks in a matter of minutes (not hours or days). Everyone was very friendly and courteous and they really made me feel heard and that they were listening about the situation we were going through. The Corona Virus has made it hard for a lot of things but they made it very simple and very easy and were great at checking in on me to make sure we were on track. Honestly I slowed them down, not being able to get information on time. I'm so glad I used them and will use them again in the future if the need arises.

    I recently worked with Justice Legal helping me get custody of my two kids. They were very helpful and knowledgeable about my situation. They were able to get my case resolved in a timely manner. Any questions or concerns they helped answer them. I highly recommend them to anyone needing help in a custody case. Thank you again to the team at Justice Legal.

    Justice Legal Group- Definition, A true firm who seeks real relief upon request. The country needs more of the attorneys here at this business. they listen. they actually analyze and they know exactly what they are doing. There is no such thing as doubt. they tell it like it is. but they also have a game plan to make your dreams come true. i’ve been fighting a case for nearly 4 years for my child. Once they looked at my folders they knew something had to be done. they guided me to the right steps and they jumped on it right away. They also know how to defend clients because they know the system is corrupt. If Your in need of a heavy secret weapon. Justice Legal Group is the place. don’t doubt what you don’t know. many firms are not promising. But this one knows what you need. Keep Them in business. Justice Legal Group has my vote *Update* If you need help with child custody or have legal matters situated, first consult to Emily the secretary she’s amazing and listens well to all client needs. she herself should be an attorney. As JLG. absolute Power!! Standridge is as good as his name! his secret weapons of attorneys are from another world, Flexible with every need don’t be afraid to ask these soldiers questions about your cases. They are here to help. -tip- if you just listen to them and follow they instructions and stay consistant with what they ask. you’re case will roll smooth. one name Amanda. *Update* 2021 I can't stress enough on how well this firm is, people who doubt it are lost and should take a leap of faith. It costs a good penny but well worth it in the end. I highly recommend JLG. Amanda, Anthony, and the crew know exactly what to do in your scenario. Btw did I mention this firm is for serious inquiries only!

    Nate was very professional and knowledgeable about family law. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. He was always very well prepared for court and I was glad he was on my side advocating for myself and my children.

    Where do I start with the review! So much has happened in the last two months. I had a family law case that was very very complicated. Nate and Joyce were amazing the entire way through the process. I’d hired family law attorneys in the past, but Gentry Law was by far the best. I had all the chips stacked against me, and tonight I have full custody of my daughter. She’s home safe in her bed thanks to Gentry Law. If you want an attorney to understand your individual case, and fight for you like it was their own family, Nate and Joyce are the attorneys for you. You can’t afford not to use them. Amazing results. I can’t thank you both enough. Hopefully this review changes someone else’s life like Gentry law has done for me. 10 million star review!!!!!!

    Mr. Gentry is an outstanding legal professional, both in communication and execution. He was up front and transparent in every stage of assisting us. Our case went play by play how he described it likely would while the opposing side's counsel overpromised and completely failed to deliver. The entire staff at Gentry Law Firm was personable and professional. Some of the best money we ever spent for our family was securing Mr. Gentry's services. Thanks Nate!

    Great lawyer. Ms. Gentry represented me a number of years ago. Expert. Fantastic lawyer. I am a lawyer and would hire her again.

    Nate Gentry saved me by taking my case over from an awful lawyer. Everyone at the law firm is very helpful and really cares about their clients.

    NM Divorce & Custody Law, LLC handled my divorce case and has represented my custody case changes for about three years. Tamara is exceptional. Her compassion, professionalism, promptness, and wit make her an excellent legal representative. She truly represents my wishes and gets where I'm coming from. At the same time, her and Mary Ann are realistic about what to expect from the court system and their years of experience have provided me a much appreciated perspective. The office staff is kind, understanding, and professional. Wes (who works reception) manages to put a personal touch on communication even with social distancing. It's hard to trust after a divorce, but this firm has done an incredible job earning my trust over the last few years, I definitely recommend them.

    My partner and I were thrilled with our entire experience with this firm from start to finish. Ivy was kind, efficient, and responsive as she tenaciously followed up with us over many weeks. Wes was wonderfully supportive and informative throughout each of our phone calls. He is a gifted confabulator and his warm energy made me feel calm and welcome during a terribly stressful time. Our multiple consultations with Tamara were the ultimate experience. After speaking with several other attorneys who contributed mere stock responses to our questions and no strategy whatsoever, Tamara met us outside the box. With her creative thinking and intellectual curiosity, she offered innovative and insightful paths of moving forward. Her honest assessment of our case offered an infusion of confidence to help propel us through the legal slog. Her engaging demeanor rendered an otherwise tedious discussion enjoyable and stimulating. She possesses both the presence and powerful thinking of a real-life fairy god lawyer. I unreservedly recommend this firm to anyone looking for services in divorce, custody, and family law.

    Tamara and her team were extremely professional and responsive. She always provided me with options and guidance as my case progressed. The team maintained confidentiality and was very caring and compassionate.

    Mary Ann and her team were amazing and made the whole situation understandable and straightforward. I could not have gotten through the process without her. The whole team was there whenever I needed it and the responsiveness was always quick. I could not ask for a more professional experience. Mary Ann was very personable and really took good care of me, she was fair and did not lie to me or give me any unrealistic expectations about the entire process

    Tamara did a wonderful job, was super professional and very conscientious of her time and fees. Our divorce was amicable and she made it very easy. Thank you!

    A father and son reunited!! In a state where granting custody to a father is extremely difficult and nearly impossible. We were feeling defeated and hopeless. Michelle made the impossible possible. Proving my step son was being alienated and abused. She defended my fiancée after being falsely accused multiple times during the duration of the custody battle. Accusations that could have cost my fiancée his very freedom! She gave us much needed guidance and support during everything. Especially after mother’s retaliation every time a hearing didn’t go in her favor. It was a long road and when we worried about payment she was so sweet and understanding. Telling us not to give up and that she would help us work something out. Showing me her generosity and genuine concern for the child’s best interest. I’m so great full for her,she is not only a excellent attorney but an exceptional person. She handled herself with class and restraint in the court room with a bully attorney. She was aggressive, fair and fought like hell for us. Made the court see the child’s best interest and not the politics or drama. Our case was so complicated and difficult, but she succeeded. Society has a prejudice point of view when it comes to a father’s capability to care for his child. Michelle certainly delivered a message that fathers are equally capable of caring for their children and it is possible for even a mother to neglect her ow. child. Honesty always prevails. Thank you Michelle, Thank you to Yvette for her help. For being there constantly, taking all of our calls even after hours, for the emotional support, empathy and willingness to help. I cannot put sufficient words together to express our gratitude for you both. Your entire team treated us so well every-time we went to the office. I know we couldn’t have picked a more honest and fair representation. Once again we are forever great full. I will recommend anyone who needs legal guidance to this firm. We appreciate you so much and hold a special place for you.

    Through the pains of child custody Michelle Cortez was always there! Every step of the way!! She is very supportive, knowledgeable and very kind hearted. I’ve prayed countless nights for the strength to get through this case! It’s like God has sent down an angel in the form of Michelle! She has definitely worked wonders!! She is an amazing lawyer, but now she is more than that! A friend ♥️. Her communication is substantial! I knew what was going on every step of the way! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal assistance!

    Who needs a 1000 friends when you could have Michelle Cortez!! This whole team is awesome. Ivette, Letty, Sabrina. Through the struggle of child custody process. The headaches and lack of representation. My sons mother kept my son from me in efforts to discourage my relationship with him. I was referred to Michelle Cortez. Although I have a long road ahead of me. Michelle has gotten me physical custody of my son and continues to fight for my rights as a father. One false accusation after another false accusation. Drama and chaos that my sons mother and her attorney have put us through and continue to put us through. I am confident that when this ends the outcome will be in my sons best interest. We have made the best decision in Having Cortez and Hoskovec. Thank you for helping me these past 5 months.

    Pamela Faris was great! She really cared about my case and wanted to make sure I got everything I deserved. She worked fast and efficient to resolve my case. I would recommend her and everyone there! I was very pleased with the outcome!

    Pamela was able to get my divorce done in just a few weeks despite a myriad of problems. Despite the problems, she was communicative and kept me abreast of everything during the process. I would definitely recommend Cortez and Hoskovec to anyone looking to get a divorce.

    Great attorney. Sarah Van Cott was very helpful on my case. Her assistant was always willing to answer my questions or Sarah would call me back to answer them. During court Sarah fought for was right for me and made sure I had proper visitation rights for my son and made sure my ex wife did not take advantage of me. 100% would recommend Advance Legal Resolutions.

    I walked into Sarah’s office in the most difficult time of my life not knowing anything about the legal system and child custody. Almost two years later I still have her representing me. Not only has she always been a phone call or text away, she has been emotionally supportive with my situation. I couldn’t have gotten to where I am today without her! She’s never tried to sugar coat anything nor give me false hope regarding my case.

    I have been working with Sarah for the past couple years through my divorce and now through another difficult family situation. Our back was against a wall during a hearing and she spoke up for us at the right time. She has been very professional and genuine with us and gave my husband and I our confidence to keep pushing forward. I could not be more pleased with her efforts.

    Advanced Legal Resolutions is by far the BEST family law firm I could have ever chosen. My children came first and that means the world to me.

    Custody battles are scary. Mentally and physically exhausting. From my experience, I highly recommend Advanced Legal. Sarah is awesome. She really knows her stuff. She is absolutely amazing in court. Kaylee is the best. She is on the ball. Very organized and very informative. I can’t express how easy (if there is such a thing in these situations) and smooth Sarah made my experience. Thank you so much!
