Attorney
José Ramírez IV
I got my start in corporate law, but quickly realized that it wasn't for me. From there, I pivoted in the opposite direction, and worked as a non-profit attorney representing asylum seekers, and advocating for undocumented children in state and federal court. My clients and their families came to trust me because of the quality of my work, and because I treated them with the respect and compassion they deserved.
That same trust led my clients to confide in me, and to ask if I could help with other challenges they were facing in their lives. From clients charged with serious crimes, to those asking for help with navigating tough family situations, to those who were accident victims needing to be made whole, to still others trying hard to come to America in search of a better life; I came to realize that I could do far more good if I allowed myself the freedom to work on interrelated areas of the law, instead of focusing on one or two specific areas.
Ramírez Law was founded on the principle that specialization doesn't guarantee a better outcome. We believe that if we handle your particular legal matter to your utmost satisfaction, then the work speaks for itself, and we'll have earned your trust for any other issue that life might throw your way.
