DO NOT HIRE

DO NOT hire this woman. She is a liar, irresponsible, huge liar and inconsistent. I hired her for my case. She lied and said she set court date, I waited weeks until I got fed up and called the courts. They said she never called, and she did this to me twice on the same case. When I did court daters,... she told me the judge said no didn’t have to show up. Then she calls me at court saying the judge wants to see me. She needed up removing herself from my case the day before my hearing. She told me the judge was going to side with me so I didn’t need her there. When I went to court, the judge was clueless. Do not hire this woman! I can’t say what I know she did, as Avvo won’t post my review.

I will only recommend the best Divorce Attorney , ask me how I know

MariaJose went up against two attorneys. My ex-wife first hired a younger attorney, but after seven months, it became clear that her attorney was no match for MariaJose’s expertise. My ex-wife then hired a second attorney with over 30 years of experience — and even then, MariaJose gave them a fight f...or another nine months. To make a long story short, after 27 years of marriage — with my ex never working during those years — and me having a 13-year-old son out of wedlock, MariaJose achieved what I honestly didn’t think was possible. I ended up with no alimony ($0), I kept the marital home, the most valuable vehicle, and no wife’s attorney’s fees. I am beyond thankful for MariaJose. Her professionalism, dedication, and support were excellent every step of the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Ansolutely amazing!

MariaJose Sánchez was an amazing attorney. She helped me with 2 different family cases. I have had several attorneys in the past and she is hands down the best. She is a available and ready to give you answers to your questions regarding your case(s). Both of my cases were nerve wrecking and she help...ed and guided me through to where I felt I was in good hands. I could not thank her enough for her effort and time! I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a good attorney.

Helpful

I hired Mariajose Sanchez to handle my divorce case. She kept me up to date and communicated with me frequently. She always sought my best interest and that of my child. It was nice working with her and I recommend her.

Irresponsable, e incompetente

Esta abogada renunció una semana antes del juicio dejándome sin representación y sin defensa, ante un caso de familia ,sólo demostró incompetencia y falta de profesionalismo.despues de estar por más de un año recibiendo mis pagos según las tarifas que ella establecio, yo acordé con ella un precio t...otal por mi caso y días antes de el juicio me informa que yo tenía que pagarle extra $ 2000.00 mas sólo por asistir a juicio , ella alegó que eso estaba en el contrato pero como yo no hablo inglés , ella me salto esa parte cuando me leyó el contrato, acusándome a mi de que yo trate de contratar a el abogado de la otra parte para que me representará, lo cual es absurdo e irracional demostrandome una vez más la incompetencia de esta señora.Por su incapacidad no asistimos a dos juicios donde debía decidirse el child support,alegando ella que no tenía conocimiento de eso. Afectandome económicamente, Tampoco tenía la documentación completa y necesaria que yo le había entregado durante un año

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
