“I would highly recommend the services of Kenneth Reyes Law Firm.”
Being in a tough situation, I did not know where to begin to file for divorce when my marriage was dissolving. I didn't know where to file either since I live in Texas and respondent in California. Kenneth Reyes Law Firm was the first listing when I went to Google search. Mr. Reyes was willing to assist me in my long-distance divorce. A member of his staff, Gabriella Castro, was very instrumental in handling our back and forth communications and I was always able to speak to a live person when I needed help. Mr. Reyes and his staff are always caring, compassionate and professional. They explained each process that would happen and each step to be taken so I understood what was happening at all times. I knew payment was going to be an obstacle but the firm made allowances until my house was sold. Mr. Reyes was able to win on my behalf in unexpected challenges, e.g. respondent didn't want to pay me for community property but Mr. Reyes firm took legal action and was able to find and win those funds for me. I would highly recommend the services of Kenneth Reyes Law Firm to anyone. Mr. Reyes and his staff will definitely handle your case with the greatest of care.
