Tough Cookie

Sandra is AMAZING! We went to court initially with another attorney because we were in a pinch with time. Well that guy was asleep the entire time and we spent more time fighting with him than the opposition. Needless to say the entire case was full of errors that needed to be corrected. Nightmare.... As soon as the case was initially settled I started attorney shopping. I do have knowledge of the law and procedure so I know what I'm looking for in an attorney. I have to tell you that interviewing attorneys from Miami to Orlando was exhaustinng. I spoke with more than 100, literally. Attorney's either wanted a retainer before they would come to the phone (pass. How would I know to hire you if I don't know you?) or I would sit with them and they had NO clue as to what they were talking about. If I have to explain family law to a family law attorney as as client, I don't need you. Google and Florida Statutes are your best friend. FINALLY I found Sandra in Fort Lauderdale. She knows the law, she's aggressive, and her and her team are thorough from start to finish. They guide you through decisions. They handle everything. I wish we had the opportunity to hire her initially. This is a dog that bites.

Divorce

Sandra and her office were great throughout my divorce proceedings. Everything I wanted from an attorney - knowledgeable, efficient, aggressive, and very matter of fact with things. She didn’t waste any time on my case, getting it settled quickly with great results. I’ve already recommended her to ot...hers.

The best legal decision I have ever made.

I am a young male who engaged Sandra Bonfiglio to represent me in a complex, semi nasty child custody case. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that I had the good fortune to select a competent legal representative for my situation. I, like many, do not have unlimited financial resources, ...nor did I have any experience with the intricacies of our judicial system. Sandra was completely transparent, both in the financial obligations involved, as well as the potential outcomes, “win or lose” and the ramifications of each along with “plan B” of either outcome. Refreshingly, her ego, (as any competent, successful counselor will have) never overpowered the process nor promised anything. I was always made aware of the risks, the costs and the relative rewards of each action that we undertook and why. I was also accorded the professional courtesy and respect to have all of my questions answered in a timely and patient manner. Sandra orchestrated a vigorous, well prepared, cohesive, efficacious and ultimately pervasive strategy, that while achieving the ultimate goal. Im truly blessed to have had the pleasure of Sandra Bonfiglio representing me.

Dismissals of PR and Step Parent Adoption

She did an AMAZING job in helping complete our family. My Husband and I consulted with two other lawyers but as soon as we walked in her office we felt confortable and sure she would help our family. Lee was very welcoming and Sandra and her assistant was very informative about the process and the ch...ances of us winning the case. She was very confident with all the evidence given that she would be able to get the father on the birth certificate parental rights dismissed by showing his abandonment to my child seeing that he has never really seen him in 14 years and he owed thousands of dollars in child support. Once the abandonment was granted we went right back in three weeks later and my husband adopted our son. He's been taking care of our son since he was almost 3 years old. He has always treated him as his own mentally, physically, financially and emotionally. So it was only right to give him our lastname, since it was something our son wanted. If your looking for an Attorney who will go all the way to help you and a team that are always there to answer questions and comfort you, then you need to hire Sandra. They understand hoe emotional and stressful this process can be abd are willing to lead you until the very end. #moneywellspent

Best Attorney in Broward County!

Back in 2010 I hired Sandra to take on my child custody case which I had been fighting for 3 years before hand to get custody of my boys.... Everyone in Sandra's office went above and beyond to get my boys home with their mother!! ( me ) was always treated with respect and love.... Also was dealing ...with all this out of state since I live in North Carolina and my case was in Broward County.... I'm so very grateful to Sandra and her staff for helping me... She's a little firecracker that goes above and beyond her call of duty!
