Ellie,
Future Attorney/Partner.
Eleanor “Ellie”, daughter of Mary E. Ramos, came into our lives a few years back and has become a member of the team. She is quick to provide guidance and refer to members of the team as “Lindsey-Tanya” putting two team members names into one. While a little young we hope to see her grow and become a full member of our team.
Disclaimer:
Eleanor is NOT an attorney and does not work for the firm as we comply with all rules and regulations as set forth by the Texas State Bar, the State of Texas, and the federal government.
Moose,
Emotional Support.
Meet Moose, the Golden Doodle who graces the halls of Ramos Law Group, PLLC. He’s not just a pet; he’s an invaluable team member who inspires us daily. His cuddles bring comfort in the most tense moments, his joy sparks laughter in the face of stress, and his unwavering love embodies the empathetic service we promise our clients.
Disclaimer:
Let’s get one thing straight: Despite his genius in spreading love and joy, Moose is NOT an attorney. He hasn’t passed the bar (unless you count the “chew toy” bar), doesn’t know the first thing about litigations (unless a squeaky toy is being disputed), and definitely doesn’t charge by the hour (though he wouldn’t mind being paid in treats). We’re fully committed to complying with all rules and regulations set forth by the Texas State Bar, the State of Texas, and the federal government, so rest assured, Moose is here strictly for emotional support, comic relief, and the occasional belly rub.
Turbo,
Mascot.
Meet Turbo, the delightfully tenacious Chihuahua mix that is the heart and soul of the Ramos Law Group, PLLC. Rescued by Mary and Alfredo Ramos, Turbo was an unexpected treasure found during a house-hunting expedition. Instead of a new home, they found a new family member.
Disclaimer:
While Turbo’s spirited demeanor may lead you to believe otherwise, we must note that Turbo is NOT an attorney. His paws don’t quite allow him to flip through legal documents, and he’s yet to pass the bar (we think he prefers fetching a stick). But don’t worry, our firm complies with all rules and regulations as set forth by the Texas State Bar, the State of Texas, and the federal government. We promise Turbo’s duties are strictly limited to spreading joy and lifting spirits!
