Do Not Recommend

Non-responsive. Not easily reached. Not very knowledgeable, in my opinion. Did not have a clue about where my case was at but was quick to ask for payment. Would not provide statement of billable hours unless requested due to a discrepancy of over $1000 payment not posted to my account. Shall I had n...ot asked to see my bill & kept copy of the check, I would've been charged twice for services NOT rendered. Dragged case with no evidence of any work actually being done. Horrible experience!!!!!

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.

Great person, even better lawyer

Sandra helped me recently with a relocation case. She was very supportive through the whole process. I always felt she she was doing what was in my best interest and kept me informed of what was going on. She was a tremendous lawyer and I honestly feel if you need someone to help in any matter you sh...ould contact her. I or I guess I should say WE won my relocation case and I know get to enjoy time with my son whenever and as often as I want-which is how it should be for any parent that is involved in their children's lives. I also can't post this review without mentioning, Lee. Lee probably got more questions from me on a daily basis than most clients, but not once did she not have the answer or help me in finding it. Sandra and Lee are great people and great support. Again....if you need help with any type of family law don't wait any longer and call their office! Thanks again, Sandra and Lee! You guys truly hanged my life and I will never forget that. Sean
