Strong advocate for me and my daughter

I hired Elmer to represent me in a very long drawn out family law case with an ex who is obsessed with taking me to court (actually hired for two cases with my ex, which Elmer successfully got the most recent lawsuit my ex filed dismissed and attorneys fees granted). He was genuinely sympatheti...c to my case, and my daughter, knowledgeable, and wasn’t willing to put up with unreasonable opposing counsel or my ex who would cry in court as a very persuasive salesman. In addition Elmer helped deal with my ex’s girlfriend who would filed multiple false requests of domestic violence injunctions against me. My situation is very bizarre and easily drains attorneys because my ex won’t stop. In the end due to a couple issues and how manipulative my ex’s attorney is, especially during our selection of a guardian ad litem needed for my daughter, I ended up with another lawyer who knows opposing counsel very well. I would recommend Elmer to anyone in a family law case. We weren’t the best fit in the end but I really appreciate all the hard work he did for my family, his ability to be both sensitive and aggressive, and his ability to navigate through so much minutia to get to a good outcome. Elmer gets it, fights hard for you, and was very reasonable on billing.

Elmer Sanchez Recommendation

I was in the process of selling my home, and discovered the title had very unusual clearance problems associated with it. The underwriters needed satisfaction that I was unable to provide. It appeared I would not be able to clear title to the home and I would lose the buyer. Attorney Elmer Sanchez... came to my rescue with a plan and carried the plan out. As a result, the title cleared, I was able to meet my deadlines and did not lose the buyer. All the way through this process Elmer provided options and feedback in a perfectly clear manner to help me understand the situation completely. His clarity, along with a very calm demeanor, helped tremendously to relieve the anxiety associated with my situation. Elmer kept me posted with each turn of events and even gave me his personal cell phone number to use whenever I needed to. When it was inconvenient for me to travel to their office, Elmer and Maria traveled to my worksite so that I could sign documents. They turned an apprehensive and challenging situation into a calm and very smooth one. The honesty and integrity the Sanchez and Eggebrecht team displayed gives you an immediate feeling of trust. Their hard work and experience paid off with a win for me. I would highly recommend this team. Bill D.
