They fight hard and move fast

I hired DSJ Law for a difficult custody case. Christina Jimenez handles my case day-to-day, with Elena de Socarraz as senior partner overseeing the firm. When I needed an emergency hearing in December, Christina didn't hesitate. She got us in front of the judge within days, and we walked out with ...the court order we needed. Problem solved. Christina is the kind of attorney who actually answers her phone and emails. She doesn't sugarcoat things, gives you realistic expectations, and then fights like hell to get you the best outcome possible. Both she and Elena clearly know Miami-Dade family court inside and out. High-conflict custody cases are exhausting and expensive, but having attorneys who know what they're doing makes all the difference. DSJ Law earned every penny. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommend!

Elena de Socarraz is a highly knowledgeable and effective lawyer. I love her straight shooter, no nonsense approach. She and Christina Jimenez and her legal assistant Maria Ballester are all top notch. Getting a divorce is an emotionally charged situation and I found it reassuring to be able to call ...or email a question and get an immediate response. I highly recommend Elena and her office

Top quality professional service with a caring base

Going through a divorce is a very stressful, emotional and complicated time, especially when you have a young child. Elena and her very talented staff made the process as simple and stress free as possible. Elena really breaks every step down so that you are always aware and understand what is goin...g. She always has your best interest in mind and does everything possible to communicate your goals. Her entire staff makes you feel comfortable from the very first call / visit. I have had several questions regarding my divorce through out the years and have not hesitated to contact Elena and her team. To this day they are all extremely helpful and responsive!

Not only an outstanding lawyer but a great person

A divorce is always a traumatic event in your life and your families life. She made this experience which fortunately was my first as easy as possible. All of my questions and concerns were always answered In a timely manner. Her staff was all very knowledgeable and supportive. It was as though I was... her only client which I know I wasn't. It's refreshing to work with people like that in this day an age. I would gladly recommend her to anyone facing this unfortunate life changing event.
