I wanna thank Erica Rios so much from the bottom of my heart. Seeing her handle the case and dictate the pace of the fight was amazing, I can now spend time with my daughter.

Worst experience. Hard to reach, and took too long to get anything done. I would not and do not recommend her office. Wish I could get a refund but I'm stuck until my case is done

The most amazing lawyer I have EVER met. A true professional and amazing in the court room. And actually cares not some sleezeball lawyer like some out there. This is your ONLY option for family law best way to go in El Paso will be telling everyone and anyone needing a lawyer.

What a very kind, considerate, compassionate woman. She really listened to me and cared about the welfare of my children. She told me she had a kid that was my kid’s age. I decided to go a different route, but I’m sure she would have given her all!

Hired Mrs. Rios in 2018 she failed to serve the opposing party and surrender the case by a person going in prose not the most competent lawyer in the field not worthy of hire.

Michelle handled my divorce and took care of everything for me. She did an amazing job and beyond grateful for her help and guidance! Would recommend her to anyone!

I would like to share my experience with Michelle Smith and her services. Her staff was always on point and quick to respond to any of my questions big or small. Michelle Smith was professional and understanding throughout the entire process (10 months) of my case. She provided me with a payment plan as I couldnt afford her fees all at once and was always willing to work with me if I was late or short on a payment. She reviewed my case thoroughly, was knowledgeable in all areas of my situation and got me the results I was looking for. I felt secure in every piece of advice she offered and and was confident in her every step of the way. I would recommend her services for anyone looking to come out on Top of their situation!

Worst lawyer, doesn't return calls and doesn't do her job. Tired of calling her.

At first filing, I was just a lowly E-4 in the US Army and had just made a poorly thought through purchase of a brand new truck the year before. I barely had $500 in disposable income. I asked to retain her due to having been denied my visitation by my ex for around a month. It was about $800 that I didn't have, so I used a credit card. The first thing she did upon, taking me on as a client, was discount her hourly rate so I could afford her services. To my knowledge, that isn't exactly a common occurrence in her field. At the first hearing to establish temporary orders, she negotiated a pretty standard order despite myself not having had great conduct throughout the relationship. Following this hearing, the process was delayed by the courts for TWO YEARS. Throughout this time period, Mrs. Smith gave consistent advice and filed amending actions as needed. Always available for appointments as required. She kept a HUGE file of everything that I gave her and everything that was pertinent to the case. She knew everything that I needed to win my case. The woman is nothing if not meticulous. At one point my ex left the state against court order, and I'm not sure I would've seen my daughter again if not for her prompt filing of emergency actions in court. After that, my bill was over $4,000 and I had no way to pay that all at once despite the firm owner's insistence, so I started paying as much as I could at a time, and throughout all of this Mrs. Smith still insisted that it didn't matter to her and that she was going to do all she could for me anyway. The final hearing was finished today a little under two years after the original filing. It's thanks to her and God that I was awarded primary custody of my little girl. The woman was an animal on cross examination and had my ex fumbling all over the stand. Apart from that, she knows the El Paso County courthouse like her own backyard and thanks to that knowledge she kept me cool in the face of odds that felt insurmountable. She personally invested in my case, and if not for her I would've been lost. I owe her everything. If I have one gripe at all about her, it's that she's spotty on email contact. If it's important she usually gets back very quickly, but I have had to bug her to get a reply occasionally. Other than that, she's perfect and I couldn't ask for someone better. I will ALWAYS recommend Mrs. Smith.

She is a lazy unprofessional attorney fast to charge you and send you monthly statements but takes forever to actually work on your case I paid her over 2,000 dollars and when it was time to go to court she withdrew from my case In the one year I TRIED to work with her she had 3 assistants. She literally doesn't go to her office Mondays or Wednesdays and you if you want to actually speak to her yourself (after she receives your retainer)... Good luck with that she refused to talk to me one on one literally had to beg...oh wait you can email her and she will respond but she'll change you $24.00 to read your email and $24.00 to respond .non of this is opinion just my personal experience with her my opinion....
