Excellent Representation

Mr. Sanchez was hired to help me with some work traffic violations. His follow up with the court and prosecuting attorney was excellent. He was very professional and would highly recommend him.

Divorce Proceedings

Mr. Sanchez helped me with my divorce. He communicated with me every step of the way, explaining in detail what my options were. He went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and always had our best interest in mind. I'm grateful for his knowledge, professionalism and patience.

Excellent Court Representation

Mr. Sanchez represented our son in a legal matter that ended up being quite complex. Mr. Sanchez treated our son with respect, explaining every step of the process. His communication with us far exceeded our expectations, often sending emails and text messages after hours. We would recommend Mr. S...anchez to anyone needing legal representation.

Attorney Damien Sanchez has represented me on several cases over the years, including criminal, PPO, custody and child support matters. Every time, Damien was able to get the results that I wanted. He is a great lawyer and an extremely hard worker. He is a good listener and a fighter. He fought for ...me and my son! I trust Attorney Sanchez and will continue to use him in the future.

Phenomenal Defense Attorney for Special Needs Individuals

If you are looking for an excellent criminal defense attorney, look no further than Damien. Our special needs son was charged with a crime after an incident on his school bus. Damien looked at the evidence at hand, did his research from all angles, and discovered there was no case here. Damien did mo...re work investigating the incident than apparently the SRO and school system did. Once Damien showed them the holes in their case, the Prosecutor quickly dropped all of the charges. Damien was a barracuda and was relentless in defending our son. I will also say that Damien truly cares about his clients. When our son was arraigned, Damien stayed with him through the entire process to give him the needed support. As a parent of a developmentally disabled adult, this personal touch that Damien gave is worth more than it's weight in gold.
