Sergio Cabanas's Reviews

Posted by Camila | January 2, 2026 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Helpful during overwhelming divorce

He was realistic about outcomes, strategic in his approach, and handled everything professionally. I always felt that my case mattered and that it was being handled carefully and thoughtfully. What I appreciated most was having someone who remained calm and experienced during a very stressful time.... That reassurance made a big difference for me. If you’re looking for a divorce attorney who is knowledgeable, reliable, and truly takes the time to guide you through the process, I would strongly recommend Sergio.

Got Me Out of A Bad Place

I’m writing this review (again) because I genuinely feel that people need to know about the incredible experience I had with Cabanas Law Firm. This is my real experience, and if you’re someone who feels stuck, lost, or hopeless in your divorce or family law situation. please read this. When I firs...t reached out to Cabanas Law Firm, I was in a really dark place. I was in the middle of a messy, emotionally exhausting divorce. Other attorneys I had spoken to before either brushed me off, gave me vague answers, or made me feel like my case wasn’t “big” or “important” enough to take seriously. I felt completely dismissed, like no one wanted to help me. That all changed when I had my first conversation with Sergio Cabanas. Sergio took the time to actually listen to me. He was calm, confident, and incredibly transparent. He didn’t promise me the moon, but he was honest about what I could expect, what my rights were, and how we could approach the case in a way that prioritized my wellbeing, not just the legal strategy. From that moment on, I finally felt like I had someone in my corner who actually cared, not just about the outcome, but about me as a person. My service requested was for full divorce representation, including child time-sharing, property division, and support through negotiations. It was a complicated situation, but Sergio and his team handled it with so much professionalism and empathy. Every document, every deadline, every step was clearly communicated. I never had to wonder what was going on with my case, and that peace of mind made all the difference. A huge shoutout also goes to Victor, my case manager. Victor is the definition of dependable. He kept me updated constantly, made sure I had everything I needed, and was incredibly patient with all of my questions (and there were a lot!). He checked in often, not just to give updates, but to make sure I was doing okay. That kind of support is rare, and I’ll never forget how much it helped me get through one of the hardest times in my life. As for quality, I can say without hesitation that the legal services I received were excellent. Sergio’s legal knowledge, attention to detail, and strategic approach were on point. He didn’t just react to what was happening; he was always one or two steps ahead, which helped keep things under control even when the other side tried to make things more difficult than they needed to be. And when it comes to value, yes, good legal help costs money. But the level of service I received from Cabanas Law Firm was 100% worth every penny. There were no surprise fees, no hidden costs, and no pressure. Everything was clearly explained up front. For what I paid, I got peace of mind, excellent representation, constant communication, and the outcome I was hoping for. You honestly can’t put a price on that when you're going through something this hard. If you’re reading this and feeling like no one can help.. I want you to know I felt the same way. But Sergio and Victor did help me. They got me through it. And now, on the other side of this, I can finally breathe again. I have a fresh start and so much gratitude for the people who helped make that happen. This review is real. My story is real. I highly, highly recommend Cabanas Law Firm to anyone who needs honest, compassionate, and truly skilled legal support.
