About the Firm
A team with 20+ years of Combined Trial and Litigation Experience. In addition to being fierce advocates in disputed divorce and family law matters, Roxas Law provides conflict resolution services as an alternative to costly court battles. Our philosophy is to work with clients to resolve their disputes in the most organized, timely, cost efficient and effective manner possible. Our Attorney Mediator is committed to helping families facilitate out-of-court agreements mediating issues involving divorce, paternity, child custody and visitation, parenting plan, child support, spousal support, and asset division. We work with low or high conflict clients to resolve their disputes privately and economically. Rather than “airing your dirty laundry” in court, all discussions and communications in mediation are privileged and confidential.

Since 2004, Sandy has zealously litigated family law matters, including but not limited to, divorce, legal separation, nullity of marriage, paternity, child custody, child support, spousal support, property division, domestic violence restraining orders, and civil harassment restraining orders. She has also successfully mediated family law cases for low and high conflict clients, defended clients in criminal matters, and represented victims of hate crimes.
Community Service

Since 2013, Sandy has sponsored outreach programs such as “Slippers for Kids” and “Apples for Kids,” providing much needed slippers and apples for impoverished children in the Philippines – most whom have never in their lives owned a pair of slippers or tasted an apple. Sandy continues to sponsor international outreach programs by providing water pumps, donating food and school supplies to impoverished families and their children in the Philippines.
Media
Sandy has been featured on the Dr. Phil Show, in KTLA 5 News, Fox News, the Daily Breeze, Asian Journal, Tayo News, Weekend Balita, The May Lee Show, Halo Halo with Kat Iniba, and for her pro-bono work against racism and xenophobia.

What can I say, but Roxas Law is AMAZING! At first, the thought of going to court seemed so daunting. I had very little time with my daughter as the original court order was placed when my daughter was 3 months old. My ex moved to a different city, with no notice, and wanted to change the whole visit...
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. And most importantly, thank you for trusting Roxas Law and our entire team.
