Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Maria Isabel Velez is an outstanding attorney who truly fought for me and my son during one of the most difficult times of my life. After my son’s father passed away, his ex-girlfriend tried to take custody of my child. Ms. Velez defended my parental rights, guided me through the legal process with compassion, and ultimately helped me win my case. She was always professional, knowledgeable, and determined to protect my family. Because of her, my son remained in a safe and stable home with me. I will always be grateful for her dedication and the strength she brought to my case. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and caring attorney.
Maria Isabel Velez has been my favorite family attorney for the past 12 years. She helped me so much thru a tumultuous divorce, visitation rights, fair child support, but most of all she helped me to keep custody of all my children. I was also, able to keep the marital house without having to sale it. Her fees are very affordable and even got me a payment plan. Other attorneys did not even wanted to take my case. Maria is very at front, she does not accept any nonsense. She took the time to listen to me, she believed me and defended me vigorously when my ex-wife and her attorneys kept filing more than 10 false restraining orders against me over the years and even accused me of sexual assault just to take custody of my children. It took time, but thanks to her persistence and good preparation, Maria won every single one of my cases. I cannot be more thankful to her. I highly recommend this attorney to anybody, but mainly to those men out there who are dealing with vindictive wives.

Working with this lawyer was a great experience. She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate towards my family court matter. She was extremely affordable and worked with me with payments. She was honest and I was able to build trust with her due to her sincerity. Her representation on my behalf won my custody case. Maria worked long extensive hours due to her detail orientation. I came to her in desperate need and would trust to count on her for any legal matter. I owe her more than what she charged me because of how much time she invested with my intensive case. This lawyer was honest sincere and it shows how much she cares about people. I would recommend her to my family and friends or anyone who is need of legal counsel. I can not thank Maria enough and how extremely grateful to have met her. She helped me understand the lawyer and the reasons for motions. She wrote letters to the judge on my behalf that defended me immensely.
working with Ms.Velez and her staff was a great experience. We were able to communicate at any time. . After a yr having a custody battle we won. Thank you so much💓.. Ms. Veliz and her Secretary Awilda such a great people. If i ever need from an attorney i would definitely contact Ms. Veliz. I recommend to any one 5 stars for Ms. Veliez.
I had a lengthy and complex divorce, and from day one working with Maria has been nothing short of fantastic. She was extremely hard working and dedicated and I always felt very well represented. She remembered details of the case that I even had forgotten about. She was very confident on all our court appearances and very thorough on her correspondence. Ms. Velez and her staff were very empathetic towards me which was very comforting. Her fees were very reasonable and flexible. I felt that I had a very favorable outcome and absolutely would recommend Ms. Velez.
She is not the best attorney for divorce/ child support. I am so surprised, being a single mother is now hard and I got screwed! And my new attorney found all kinds of mistakes 1 being one of my kids wasn’t even calculated in the child support!!!!! All that money I paid her. Ridiculous! Choose someone who will really fight for you and not waste your money.
