Excellent decision to hire Ms. Cabonor
We would absolutely recommend Alexandra Cabonor to anyone. When making the important decision to hire Alexandra to represent you and your children, know you are hiring someone aggressive and thorough. She is excellent. I wish I had called years ago when our custody issues began.

Expert family lawyer.
If you're looking for a great communicator in and out of the courtroom, Alex is your girl. No one likes to be waiting for answers/information leading up to their date or thereafter. Alex was prompt at responding via phone/email and txt. She cleared me of 2 bogus accusations and for that I'm thankful....
