Dawn M. Saenz

If your looking for a great attorney . Please give Miss Saenz a try. When I came to see her I had been through so many other attorneys. Who gave me terrible legal advice & took my money. Seeing this desperate mom . Was all they saw. It has taken me a few years to finally get things in order. Mi...ss Saenz has never given me false promises . What she has done is to teach me patience . She will guide you in the right direction. I wish I would of known about her sooner . Her office is very respectful , organized , very professional she has a great set of staff. They really try to work with their clients . Miss Saenz is a no nonsense attorney who is truthful. And her goal is to help parents and there child be together she has my highest recommendation. I'am a work in progress!!!!!!!! Carmen H.

Attorney Saenz is an incredibly gifted, fierce, and commendable attorney. She knows the rules of court and case law like the back of her hand. Whereas some attorneys are only about winning or taking money, attorney Saenz truly cares about her clients, their children, and working with families and emp...owering her clients with the education (about law) and resources within the community (no matter what your salary) that will help you regain your sense of stability and steps towards healing family's after the devastation of separation or divorce. Everyone says it's not about wining or losing but about what's in the child's best interest, but Attorney Saenz is one of the rare attorneys that truly believes this and she fights and advocates for the best interest of the children, while helping parents re gain focus they may have lost during this emotional time. She has a caring staff that make you feel welcomed, and they view you as a person, not a paycheck. I had a high conflict case and on my own I was not able to get the protection I needed for my children and myself. Attorney Saenz is a gem, she has worked with military families and families that have issues of domestic violence. When I went in for my initial consultation other clients who were in the military spoke with gratitude and pride about how Attorney Saenz maintained their cases while they had to go overseas or on deployments, and how she gave them piece of mind knowing they would not lose time with their children or be taken advantage of while they were away. I had a sensitive case that involved domestic violence and Attorney Saenz fought for my case as if it were her own. My children and I are all safe. She went to court each time, thinking only of the best interest of all of my children. I am truly amazed. Attorney Saenz was our voice when we lost ours. Divorces are not easy, especially with high conflict cases and when there are children involved. Anyone in need of an attorney should retain Attorney Saenz. If you are her client you are blessed, if you aren't her client be prepared to be stressed because you failed to retain the BEST of the BEST!

My siblings and I hired Attorney Dawn Saenz to handle my mom's estate when she passed away recently. Dawn is exceptional at what she does and made the entire process very easy to understand and easy for us. We have known Dawn for over 40 years, and she is the most trustworthy and honest person I know.... We trust her with our lives and always know she has our best interest at heart!! Thank you so much for everything Dawn!!

I hired Ms. Saenz in January 2017 to handle my spousal support case (I was seeking to have support reduced to my ex-wife). I cannot overstate the degree to which she mishandled my case. I read the reviews below and I am shocked to read so many positive outcomes and skeptical as well and here is why. ...When I retained Ms. Saenz she was quick to make lofty promises about my case. But the first red flag came soon after when she missed, as in failed to appear, for my first court date. I was very upset after this since I lived out of state and so it appeared to the judge that nobody bothered to appear for an important hearing. When I contacted her she apologized profusely and even gave me a monetary credit on my case. So, I stuck with her thinking that it was an honest mistake and figured that she would really stay on top of my case after such an obvious error. If only I had fired her at that point! I filed my initial paperwork to have my case heard in November of 2016. I retained Ms. Saenz in January of 2017 and fired her in May of 2017. During this time, her "work" on my case entailed missing a hearing in Feb., insisting I was wrong when I informed her that a garnishment order had been issued against me in March (I found out through checking the online court minutes myself), chiding me for wasting her time pursuing that matter, and sending adversarial letters to Opposing Counsel over trivial issues. The final straw came in May when she did show up for the trial setting appearance and agreed to allow my case to be placed OFF CALENDAR when I was very clear that I needed to have my case heard before the judge. When I called her office to ask what happened, she was extremely rude and defensive. She even told me that she had worked out an agreement with Opposing Counsel off the record/in chambers that was favorable to me but due to my attitude she was not going to bother writing it up or seeing it enforced. At this point I realized Ms. Saenz was simply covering her own mistakes and lying to me and I had had enough. Firing Ms. Saenz was the best decision I could have made. I quickly retained another lawyer who had to clean up the mess Ms. Saenz created. I later confirmed through new counsel that Ms. Saenz was completely misrepresenting the "deal" she worked out for me because in fact, she had accomplished nothing other than falling for Opposing Counsel's strategy and getting my case placed off calendar. At this point my case was an absolute disaster. I am so thankful that I retained a new attorney who had an actual LEGAL strategy other than talking tough to OP and scolding her own client at every turn. I waited to post this review until my case concluded with a positive result, all thanks to my new attorney who replaced Ms. Saenz. I do not want to dwell on the damage and additional arrears I accumulated due to Ms. Saenz's unprofessional, misguided, and unskilled approach. Suffice it to say, Ms. Saenz cost me over $10,000 due to her errors. As I stated, I waited to post this until I could confirm that her strategy was completely ridiculous. On top of everything, Ms. Saenz lied to me and treated me like I was the idiot. The only truly stupid thing I did was hire Ms. Saenz. Please, do not hire this lawyer. She definitely talks a good talk out of the gate, but once she gets your money her attitude changes and you will be left in a bigger hole than you started in. If you want an excellent attorney, please see the review I posted on the lawyer I hired after working with Ms. Saenz.
