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 process. 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!

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.

A SMOOTH DIVORCE
Mr. Sanchez handled my divorce, and I have to say, did an outstanding job. What I expected from a attorney was just professionalism, which I got, but what I didn't expect was the extent of compassion he showed for my situation. My divorce went smoothly, what I asked for I got, and I am one happy client. If you need a GREAT divorce lawyer, call Nilo Sanchez...he will do you proud!

An attorney with outstanding attrubutes!
Divorce is not something most people plan for, but when it happens the host of emotions it creates can be devastating for families. It can leave a person feeling vulnerable, with serious concerns for the welfare of children, like my own experience in 1999. The ability to read reviews on attorney's would have been a valuable tool, My resource was a daunting list of names in the yellow pages that would prove useless. Several of those listed would inform me, I had little legal recourse. Eventually I would be referred to a young lawyer who was attracting the attention of his peers even then. The attorney who recognized the attributes of this rising star in family law, has my every lasting gratitude. It is a sincere honor to submit this review on behalf of Mr. Nilo Sanchez. His character and integrity have served him well. The genuine empathy he has for people serves to ensure, that his representation of clients, is their best recourse in the justice system. His standard of practice has ensured his status as number one in family law. When I required his legal representation more recently In 2011 he would not disappoint, nor was I surprised to find that success had not altered the man. It was a pleasure to watch, as he applied his vast knowledge of family law, to ensure that truth and justice do prevail. It is fitting that he surrounds himself with like minded staff for they serve to enhance his client's entire experience. I am humbled by their sincere kindness and joy when your ordeal reaches it's successful conclusion. One would be hard pressed to find representation in family law to equal that of Nilo Sanchez and Associates. Nilo is credit to his profession,

Knowledgable, skilled, and Caring Winner!
Mr. Sanchez took my case which at the moment had been complex and complicated. He exhibited excellent strategic thinking, planning, and always took the high road. He not only guided me through the case skillfully and confidently, but exhibited a high level of empathy, caring and integrity. He won my case ! His staff was professional, courteous and caring, each step of the process. I have recommended to several friends, colleagues, and family members. Mr. Sanchez is in a class all of his own. I'm grateful that I was referred to him.

Divorce and inequitable alimony
I have used several attorneys in Tampa, FL which in my humble opinion, have not acted in the most ethical of manners. However, I have been extremely pleased in the fashion in which Nilo Sanchez and his fantastic staff handled my divorce, which involved a very aggressive opposing counsel and ludicrous request for alimony, considering no children were involved. I certainly endorse and recommend his services due to his exceptional attention to detail, listening skills, knowledge of the law and a truly caring staff. He has handled a couple of my cases insofar, with great success. He is the only attorney I will secure in the future for any legal matters. In my book he is #1 in Tampa and the extended metropolitan area.

Caring, concerned, and competent.
I was referred to Mr. Sanchez to assist in a difficult (to say the least) family law case. In the ensuing years, even when faced with long distance and multi-state issues, Nilo and his staff proved to be invaluable allies. None of us wish or even imagine we may some day be forced to deal with family law issues. If or when they arise, however, the security of good counsel is priceless. Had it not been for Nilo Sanchez--his dedication, persistance, and patience--I'd have missed much of my now-adult child's life. Highly recommended: I would retain Mr. Sanchez again and/or would refer him to friends and family with confidence.

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 knowledgeable 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.

I used Mr. Sanchez in 2009 for divorce proceedings. He was recommended by another attorney for whom I had provided some service.
