“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.

“level-headed and professional”
Thank you to Ken Reyes and his colleague Gabriella Castro for their exceptional service, hard work and unwavering dedication to my case. Divorce settlements are never easy or clear cut and both Ken and Gabriella spent time to explain every detail and remained strong, level-headed and professional during the heated back and forth with the opposing law firm. I was very satisfied with the overall outcome of my case and highly recommend Ken and team for all legal issues. Thank you Ken. Keep up the great work and I look forward to working with you again in the future.
