Poor record keeping cost the client...

An overlooked ruling by Sandra and staff, early in my case, caused significant unnecessary actions and conflict in an already tense case. Sandra was often unable to accurately provide minor details of the case and often forgot or overlooked details which caused her to “travel the wrong road”. This tr...avel came at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars or which Sandra admits to fault, but insists she still earned her paycheck because she worked on something. I did not see in the retainer her workload would involve making life miserable with little to no legal guidance or straight forth direction. Not once did Sandra brief me on a court ruling, a costly lesson Sandra taught me. Sandra then blamed me for her office’s failure to read and advise a critical motion that robbed my child from me for months. Sandra quit in shame of her own accord. My experience with this attorney is she’s not strong in court, not good with record keeping, does not seem to care about her obligations to clients, specifically advising the client of rulings.

amazing

Sandra took over my divorce after my first lawyer did absolutely nothing she did more in 1 week then the previous did in 4 months. She was cost effective, communicated every step of the way. Within 2 months of accepting the case we came upon an agreement. She had gotten me the settlement i can live w...ith. I would consider her as a shark. Sandra told me what she wanted to do and did it. I would recommend her to all.

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
