I wanted to give my most profound appreciation and gratitude to Cabanas law firm and staff. I wanted to give my thanks starting with Roxy Friedland who handle me so well to decide whether or not I should hire Cabanas Law Firm. I was previously turned down from other firms due to the lack of time to prepare the case and other factors that make my case that much complex. I had decided pretty much to go to trial on my own before I heard back from Cabanas law firm. Roxy made me feel welcome, secured, reassured me they can help and made it easy for me to decide with my doubts to have them take my case. I had a tough and difficult case for a Relocation/paternity trial that looked lost before it began. My former lawyer had recently passed away and have such a short timeframe of the upcoming trial, the date was already set and no room for a continuance since has reached and exceeded the limit. I'm so grateful for Gabriela Bennasar who was so supportive at my hardest time throughout my case caring and dedicated to making sure I was doing well on daily bases, Jackie Zenon worked gently with me and supportive me with everything needed. Attorney Laura Grossman was amazing. From the beginning she interviews my case and was very honest about the fact that my case was a long shot but not impossible to have the results I wanted and for them to defend. She was always responsive and answered all of my questions very well, wise, precise, professional, experienced and with a heart of gold. She is and was very compassionate when I needed it the most and outstanding defending my case in all of my disputes with the opposite party. Mr. Cabanas accepted my case with not much detailed information for the trial. When I hired him my time was limited with the set trial date. He manages to handle it so swiftly picking up the pieces from my former lawyer and proceeded to represent me. Attorney Sergio Cabanas is very knowledgeable, prompt, courteous, to the point, and is very in tune with what’s going on. He has been committed to providing the utmost professionalism and respect since the moment I met him. He has voiced my concerns as needed, including advocating for my parenting time during a very difficult time with my trial. I am so grateful for his efforts and representation. He was very good at keeping me updated. Goals were clearly communicated and performed. Not only was he able to defend me from a number of false and unjust accusations from the Guardian Ad Litem that was on my case, hired by the opposition party, but when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed hopeless, he believed in me and my quest to win my case, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor. My family and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Sergio Cabana and his much diligent staff without reservation. I am so blessed that I have found Cabanas Law Firm for my representation. They have exceeded my expectations. I am more than satisfied with the services that I have received. Cabanas Law Firm put their hard work and commitment first before financial interest they were so compassionate working with me with my limited financial situation. Although it is a business they are running they are willing to work with you and for you. Judgment was a success in my favor and the nightmare of my kids moving out of state has ended. I am forever in debt with Attorney Sergio Cabana for giving me back my life with my children. I wouldn’t think of using anyone else for future services.
I have met Mr. Sergio today for the first time. I almost lost hope to find a good attorney and he is a person who loves the law and money is important but secondary. I will be starting my case with this firm, however I feel to share this with others. I had several attorneys before and spent five years in a court house so far and therefore have some experience. Sergio will asses the situation from all angles, including client's financial situation and truly focuses on the actual goal. He's like a surgeon, first are your needs and loves his work. He listens to your needs and takes into account your views, he seems to work more as a team and not traditional 'factory' to collect funds. So far so good, I think I hit a jack pot but know the actual results will be measured at the end.

Best Attorney in Town "Bar None"-I'm Serious!
This team of attorneys return phone calls and respond to emails asap! They do their research and treat your case like (get ready) like you really matter as a human being. They are experienced, aggressive and they give you all the options. I have hired too many attorneys in my life time, so trust me when I say the Cabanas Team is the "Best in the Business." They know what to do and they do it. Here is my advice: Hire them for your divorce or separation before your spouse does. Whoever hires this team first has the advantage in my opinion.

Very Caring
When I found out I was going through a divorce, I didn’t know what to do. My emotions were all over the place and didn’t know where to start. I called several attorneys but Sergio Cabanas’ team stood out.
They took the time to listen and reassured me things would be ok. Then, I was told what to expect and educated me briefly on laws….based on my concerns.
His office checked on me regularly; not to convince me to move forward with the divorce but just to check in on my mental health. I truly appreciated all that they did.
Although we are trying to work things out, if I do decide to move forward with the divorce, I know who I’m calling. Anyone that can take a moment out of their time to check in is an attorney, I know they will make sure I’m good during the divorce process.

The Amazing Cabanas Lawfirm
Dear Cabanas Law Firm,
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional legal representation and support you provided me throughout my separation process. Your dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment truly made a significant impact on the outcome of my case.
From the very first consultation, it was evident that you had a deep understanding of the complexities involved in separation cases. Your ability to explain the legal intricacies in a clear and concise manner put me at ease and allowed me to make informed decisions at every step of the process. Your responsiveness to my questions and concerns was remarkable, and I always felt valued and heard.
Your strategic approach to handling negotiations and legal proceedings showcased your extensive experience in family law. Your attention to detail and thorough preparation ensured that no aspect of my case was overlooked. Your dedication to achieving a fair resolution while advocating for my best interests was both reassuring and empowering.
I am especially grateful for your compassionate and empathetic demeanor during this emotionally challenging time. Your support went beyond the legal realm – you demonstrated genuine care for my well-being and provided guidance that helped me navigate the emotional aspects of the separation.
In the end, the outcome of my case exceeded my expectations, and I credit much of that success to your skillful representation. I am confident that your professionalism, expertise, and dedication set you apart as an exceptional firm.
Thank you once again for your outstanding work. I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate separation attorney. Your unwavering support has been invaluable, and I am truly grateful to have had you by my side.
Sincerely,
Karim Aboud
