This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Negative Experience with Lawyer Sanchez

Lawyer Sanchez didn't stand by my side; he always supported the other party and made fun of my English pronunciation because it's not my first language. He significantly favored my husband and never provided any advice or assistance when I needed it. This caused more pressure on me; it felt like my h...usband had two lawyers. He did everything possible to make me feel frustrated. If you're a woman, don't let him handle your case, or else you'll regret it. I was forced to seek another lawyer and ended up losing the initial payment I gave him.

Thank you, again.

Excellent family attorney

Mr Sanchez is a respectful and trustworthy attorney. I felt confident that he and his staff ALWAYS had my best interest in mind. He guided me through a difficult transition in my life, and I knew that I could trust that he would do all in his power to assist me. I can say with 100% certainty, that I ...would reccomend Mr. Sanchez to anyone requiring legal help.

Best divorce attorney in Tampa

In July, 2014, I met with Nilo Sanchez concerning my divorce. I immediately felt that I had just met with an attorney that I could put my full trust in. He has excellent knowledge of all aspects of Florida divorce law, is aggressive but at the same time is very morally grounded and compassionate. ... At all times Mr. Sanchez made me feel my best interests were his top priority. He also has surrounded himself with an excellent staff that is just as caring and dedicated as he is. I would highly recommend Nilo Sanchez to anyone needing a great divorce or family law attorney.

Highly Recommend

I strongly recommend Nilo Sanchez as a Family law lawyer. I felt from the beginning that he was very honest about my case, even when sharing what he thought were the difficulties I would face, based on the facts that any judge would take into account based on the laws in place. He provided strong ...representation, suggested strategies to follow and the pros and cons, cost/benefit. Nilo has the tools to do what/if analysis that help in the negotiation process as well as the decision making. If you should have to go to court, Nilo and his team are very organized, friendly and responsive. Nilo is a skillful deposition taker and has a presence in the courtroom should your case ever need to get there. Nilo is able to put legal matters into plain terms to explain the options. You will see this from your first meeting with him. He was also on top of pending legislation that could have an impact on my case.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Mr. Nilo Sanchez for nearly 18 years. We have had several cases together (as opposing counsel) during that time. I have always found Mr.Sanchez to be extremely well prepared, professional, knowledgeable, and caring. He is without fail, a strong advocate for his clients (and his clients' children). Mr. Sanchez artfully presents his clients' positions in court, when litigation is necessary, but more often ihe s able to settle his cases when a reasonable settlement can be achieved. He is a tenacious advocate when justice requires. I often seek his advice as to the law and proceedure in my own cases when I need a second opinion. On top of all of that, Mr. Sanchez has an honest and straight forward approachwhich in family law, is a great asset, I highly recommend Mr. Nilo Sanchez."
