AMAZING!!

This is the first review I have ever taken the time to write. Because of Sandra and her wonderful staff my husband and the father of my children will be able to stay in the US and watch his children grow up. He was here without papers since 1999 and yesterday after a very long yet productive process ...we received a phone call that his permanent resident alien card was here. We will be eternally grateful for all of your help, advice and professionalism. I definitely would recommend her

The Best and Most Amazing Attorney in the World and in our Lives!!!!

I want to write this review from my heart. My partner who is the father of my 2 United States Citizen children was detained in Krome Processing Center for over 9 months pending really hard criminal charges. It took long time, because he had to be transferred to WPB based on a difficult pending crim...inal charge, where she kept in touch with his criminal attorney during that time. My partner kept insisting that she was best, the most aggressive, and honest attorney and that everyone spoke very high about her Krome and that I had to hire her. She has a great reputation in Krome for a reason. Mostly her clients, or people who have heard of her work recommend her, and thank God they did! I met her and paid her right away $4500 cash, and she went to work right away. She did over 10 courts and personally went to all of them in a prompt matter. The lawyers who work in her office are also very smart and ethical. She always texted me and informed me of the progress of the case, and called me to relieve my concerns even if it was late at night, sometimes at midnight and after. She always made sure she answered me back. My partner, also was very happy with her work in Krome, and would say that I had to believe in her and that I had to trust her. The majority of Attorneys only want money, and then when you give them money, they stop working, that DID NOT happen with Sandra Echevarria. I have never seen anyone work so hard in my life who is an Attorney. She worked super hard until he was able to bond my partner out of Krome for $1500. Her advice is accurate and honest. He is out and working with his work permit and his license and is taking care of my and my kids again, and hopefully he will get his residence. She has explained to me that it is not guaranteed, but its because, again, she is honest. Although she did not always tell me what I wanted to hear, she was always clear about the process and about the expectations. Everyone in her office was on top of their work and you can trust their intelligence even if you could not see them face to face. I always dealt with Sandra and my children and my partner, are very, very grateful to her. Although no one attorney can win every case, every time, she will always try her hardest to win the case and achieve freedom for her clients. Towards the end of the case when he was detained, my kids got sick, I lost my job, I ran out of money and I asked for time, and even without money, she continued to represent him passionately. Over 8 months of the 9 months he was detained I couldn't pay her, but she still worked harder then ever. We all love her because of her work ethics and her big heart. We believe in her, you should believe in her. DON'T BELIEVE THE ONLY NEGATIVE COMMENT. Anyone who knows Sandra Echevarria and has hired her knows her work and her passion and commitment in all her cases. That is why we recommend her extensively. Recently, another was family member from Texas was detained, and she also got him out. The father of my kids, my children, and I know that we made the right choice in hiring her and keeping her attorney services. I have no doubts that she will continue to help families like she has never stopped helping ours.

Sandra Echevarria an Amazing Attorney!

I contacted Sandra Echevarria when I was in Krome in 2011, and she got me out on bond. I was detained less than 2-3 weeks. She did a great job , even though my hands were sweating the whole time because I thought I would definitely be deported. I showed her card to someone while inside, and they s...aid she was a great attorney. She got me out on a $5k bond. I was recommended by a friend of mine that she also got out of Krome that I know from Honduras. After I got out, I got my work permit and license. She attended all of my courts and kept me informed of all of my court. It took 5 courts, all of which she attended. Just 2 weeks ago, I got my Lawful Permanent Residence Card because of the 10 year law because of my daughter's medical condition. I have been in the U.S. for almost 20 years, and I finally got permanent status in this country thank God, my family, and Sandra Echevarria's hard work. I would definitely recommend her.

Best Immigration Attorney

Sandra Echevarria, Esq. is the best immigration attorney I have ever come across, I would recommend her 100 times over for any immigration case. A great lawyer as well as a great person, her team makes you feel at home, when you visit her office. Sandra is a very detailed attorney that crosses her i'...s and dots her t's. If you think you have a immigration case that is to difficult, then she is the attorney for you, I thought my wife's case was too difficult and complicated to win and Sandra won it for us, this was the happiest day of our lives, finally after so many years, my wife is a legal resident of the Untied States of America. Sandra Echevarria, Esq, and team are the best immigration firm, no case too big or too small for them!!! Thank you Sandra for all you did for us, you are the BEST!!!

Immigration lawyer | Jul 24

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I firmly endorse Sandra as an experienced, incredibly hard-working, and effective immigration lawyer, without reservation. I have trusted her by referring some cases and she has never disappointed me or the clients, often going above and beyond the call of duty. She is especially effective at presenting novel legal arguments and marshaling all available evidence to secure immigration bonds and permanent residency in difficult circumstances. Immigration law is a tough area of the law, and Sandy is one of the toughest and most effective at what she does, and has an excellent reputation in the South Florida immigration community, including with judges, DHS trial attorneys, attorneys working for non-profits, and members of the private bar."
