Acevedo Family Law is proving to be the relief my family needed during this distressing custody situation. The obstacles that arose during the court proceedings were met with the confidence of Acevedo Family Law without missing a beat. She was always present and available at each juncture of the case and willingly answered all of my daughter?s questions, while assuaging her fears of each impending court hearing. As the grandmother of two beautiful grandchildren, I couldn?t bear not being a part of their growth. Acevedo Family Law understood my daughter?s angst and after a brief interview, began working on her case right away! I am looking forward to a worry-free, positive outcome with Acevedo Family Law, they are a true Family Law Attorney. Acevedo Family Law, the law firm that definitely works harder for your familial rights than you could ever work for yourself!

I am a Criminal Defense attorney that strongly recommends attorney Acevedo?s services. I trust referring my clients, friends, and family to Attorney Acevedo because she is a powerful advocate in the courtroom and truly cares about her clients. She is highly respected among our colleagues in our community and an obvious rising star. The fact that she is bilingual is the cherry on top.

I had the privilege of working with attorney Gisela Acevedo during an incredibly challenging period in my life, my divorce. From the moment I spoke with her, I was met with not only professionalism but also a level of compassion and care that immediately put me at ease. Gisela took the time to sit down with me and patiently explain every step of the divorce process. She never rushed our meetings, and I always felt like my questions and concerns were given the utmost attention. Her expertise in family law was evident, and I knew I was in capable hands from the start. One of the things that stood out the most was her commitment to protecting my rights throughout the entire process. Gisela was a staunch advocate for me, ensuring that my interests were well-represented. Her attention to detail and dedication to my case gave me confidence during a difficult and emotionally taxing time. I truly appreciate attorney Gisela Acevedo for not only her legal expertise but also her kindness and understanding. She provided the guidance I needed to navigate the complexities of divorce, and I am grateful for her unwavering support. I would highly recommend Gisela to anyone seeking a family law attorney who truly cares about their clients and goes above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Super responsive and knowledgeable. Gisela sees you as an actual human being going through a very personal experience, rather than just another file or case number like some of the other firms. You'll get way more for your money at this spot than you would elsewhere. She's my advocate in every respect and I have peace of mind knowing she's in my corner.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
