Exceptional Guidance and Support!!!

An exceptional attorney and individual providing the necessary balance and expertise in a parent’s most difficult struggle that of child custody. Nilo Sanchez had handled my divorce so I contacted him for an initial counseling on the current situation regarding my daughter and my rights as a father.... I was discouraged to the plausible outcome by the numerous cases I had researched but Nilo after listening to my individual circumstances put together a plan of action that would produce the most optimal outcome. I expected an ugly, drawn out affair but thanks to Nilo’s keen abilities to balance aggressiveness with compassion I was awarded primary residential care of my daughter. I am eternally grateful for the guidance and support that Nilo and his associates provided through a very trying period. I would highly recommend Nilo Sanchez and Associates.

Highly Recommend Nilo Sanchez for family law!

Someone had referred me to Nilo Sanchez and now I see why! Nilo takes pride in what he does and it shows. He makes sure to not only work towards what you want from him, but is honest about what it takes to make it happen. He is very honest and upfront with what you need to be aware of during the p...rocess. He is definitely on top of what needs to get done and works as fast as you want him to. He worked on my case faster then I thought could happen, it was great! He is also extremely organized and detailed. For the service he provides, his fees are very reasonable and affordable. It really pays to work with an attorney that enjoys his profession, because he cares for his clients and wants whats the best for them. I definitely recommend Nilo Sanchez!

An outstanding, aggressive and honest attorney.

I had the pleasure of using Nilo recently on a family law matter. I went to him because of his outstanding reputation in the community in family law. I was and remained happy to find out that his reputation matched what I found: Nilo was a knowledgeable, aggressive and honest attorney. He is knowl...edgeable in that he knows the law very well, knows all of the local counsel in this area and knows all of the judges. He knows the system well. He is aggressive in that, like any good lawyer, he will go to bat for his clients aggressively without equivocation. Once he represents you, he will fight hard for you and your case. And he is honest. Nilo is a good person, a decent man and an honest man. One should never discount this value in their lawyer, and Nilo fits the bill entirely. He will never overbill you, never over charge you and never over promise something to you just to make a quick fee. Therefore, I have the pleasure of recommending Nilo without equivocation.

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."
