      "Civil Restraining Order"

      FABULOUS!!!!! I called the Moreno Family Law firm TWO DAYS before my hearing/trial and Michael Moreno took my case without any hesitation. I had a civil harassment restraining order pending against me that occurred in the workplace and I was so scared to go to court since the last time I went I couldn't even speak to the Judge without shaking. The Opposing Party was a bully and I was frightened that if I had a restraining order granted against me it would ruin my career forever. Michael Moreno asked that I drop off the paperwork ONE DAY before the trial and he showed up prepared, looked sharp and fought for me like I had been his client for years! The judge did not want to dismiss the restraining order against me and Michael had an intellectual and persuasive response to every position the Judge made. Even when the judge disagreed with him he KEPT FIGHTING FOR ME and making new arguments that slowly started to change the Judge's mind. Michael didn't give up until he was able to successfully change the judge's mind and WE WON!!! The judge dismissed the restraining order against me and I was able to walk away from the court house with NOTHING pending against me. I truly believe that the universe was in my favor when I found The Moreno Family Law firm to help me with this civil harassment restraining order (work place harassment). THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I am truly grateful and I would recommend EVERYONE to this firm. Michael Moreno is a TRIAL EXPERT and the staff was helpful and kind. They even called after the hearing to make sure I was happy with the representation I received. INCREDIBLE FIRM. (This was all during COVID shelter in place and they were available to me 24/7).

      "Super Fabulous Work"

      I just wanted to thank you for your super fabulous work today. Seeing you in action just solidified my confidence in you and our working together. You have from the beginning kept me on the right path protecting me from myself even in a scary and confusing time. You have helped me protect my son and what I believe are his best interests. I am so grateful for that. I know we are no where near the end of things but I'm so happy about the temporary outcome today. I truly feel we are on the right path, and you got us there. Sometime it's nice to just take the time to say thank you. I really appreciate it. It was so nice that we could even have a few light moments where we were laughing and smiling through a not so funny situation.

      "Letter From Opposing Counsel"

      The following isn't really a testimonial, it is an excerpt from a letter from opposing counsel, but we'll take it as a testimonial. And yes, its a real quote from a real letter. "Much to my surprise, Judge XXX dealt on a pendente lite basis with all of the requests you wanted, i.e. temporary support, and refused to address the issues I raised such as giving credit to [my client] for payments made for the benefit of your client since the date of separation, refusing to deal with my client's request that your client be expressly ordered to pay the mortgage, property tax, utilities, car payment, etc. refusing to give us a specific order concerning the selected items my client should be allowed to remove from the family residence since the judge did give your client exclusive possession, etc. ...So much for equal protection under the law and blind justice. ...Clearly yesterday's hearing was not a half-way compromise; rather, it was a hearing in which the judge bent over backwards to give your client everything they asked for and conveniently ignored all of the issues we raised. If the judge continues to show such biases we will take appropriate action."

      "100% Custody!"

      I am a new comer to US, I don't know English as well as the legal rules here…. The police came to the house and took me out of the house. Also, the other side started the case first with a very well know lawyer. My friends, my family members, and even I did not believe that I would win the custody. Everybody only expected that the court would drop the restraining order so I could see my baby again. But right after the first time I read the first draft of my declaration that you help me on writing, I believed I would win. You are the most wonderful writer that I have ever known who knows very well how to write, organize ideas, and choose evidences. After the first hearing, I won. From the one who has zero percentage of custody, I have one hundred percent custody. It was unbelievable. I was more and more appreciating for your help, when recently I had a chance to see a short introduction movie on restraining order. The movie said that the judge doesn't have a lot of time at court for restraining order case, therefore, all of the writings and evidences have send to the court before the court day are very important. You were accompany with me for a long way, during 8 months, with a lot of writing works and many time you appeared with me at the court, many days you stay up late to prepare all documents, make sure everything looks fine and professional at the court on the next day. I was extremely impressed by your professionalism, and the quality and speediness of your lawyer works. You helped me had an outcome almost more than what I expected. I won part of attorney fees, and I could bring my daughter to the other state and continue my study at pharmacy school. I could not express how happy I am.. You are a very talented lawyer. I want to say it to everybody. I was lucky to have you as my lawyer. From deeply of my heart, I appreciate for your help. I wish that you continue to help me in the future.

      "Sensitive, Straightforward & Effective"

      I'm indebted to you for your masterful handling of our meeting. There is no doubt that your efforts derailed an adversarial alternative, sparing us tremendous emotional turmoil, not to mention considerable time and expense. ...Without your sensitive, straightforward and effective approach, we would be set back years in achieving our ultimate goal of the dissolution of our marriage with minimal impact.

      "Made the Court See the Truth"

      My sincere thanks for fighting hard in court for the safety of the children and myself and getting the custody settled. This may be just another case for the firm but you have helped an abused woman and her children who have endured lot of pain and tyranny. You made the court to see the truth and brought justice. You both are important people in my life who helped me through this difficult time.

      "Gave Me My Life Back"

      In the past two weeks you have accomplished more than others in the past twenty months. Without you my divorce would have remained languishing in this quagmire indefinitely. Thank you for giving me my life back!

      "Happy Is an Understatement"

      Happy is an understatement... I am THRILLED!!! Off to Vegas to celebrate....Yiiippeeeeeee

      So many years of being controlled because I did not know my worth or value, but Jesus Christ changed my life and opened my eyes to see that I deserve better in life so I made a change and walked away never to look back. Being a Christian is Great...

      Now, I get a fresh start to just live my life and take care of me and my kids the best I know how.

      Thank you for everything. You have been a gem to have in my corner.
