I needed a civil harassment restraining order to protect my family, so I filled one out on my own down at the local superior court. The filing process was pretty straightforward and the temporary restraining orders were approved, but then the other side lawyered up and filed their own restraining order against my family. Since I have no legal training, I thought it would be a good idea to get a lawyer to protect us. It's difficult to find a lawyer that specializes in the exact case you need help with, so it took calling dozens of lawyers before I finally found Mr. Ortiz's firm. Talking to his senior paralegal Shaun the first time, I knew this was the firm for us; they saw our situation and completely agreed with our point of view. Of course, Mr. Ortiz's firm totally knew how to respond to motions and filings from the other side, and were able to handle all the legal maneuvering that I could have been blind-sided with. On the day of the court hearing for the restraining order, Mr. Ortiz personally showed up to help us through the day. He was able to say all the right legal words during court, and then explained our options to us in plain English. In the end, we got what we wanted. It was great to have Mr. Ortiz and his team on our side. They took the guesswork out of the legal proceedings, and we definitely got more peace of mind during the process to have such an experienced, level-headed firm handle things where emotions were definitely flying high on our end. Also of note, Mr. Ortiz's firm has very transparent pricing and a breakdown of how they use funds out of their retainer fee. Other firms were not as transparent with how they would use their funds, which made me feel uncomfortable that I could end up spending thousands of dollars more than I really intended to with a less positive outcome to our situation.
