This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Don't be fooled. Bills like the big boys without the results.

Underwhelming, understaffed, underachieving and unprepared sums it up. Oh and micro transaction billing. As if your 12 second email reply is worth $87. She will nickel and dime your deposit down to nothing before you even see the judge with erroneous questions via email instead of asking all question...s about once, she will happily let you respond to her emails that she will will bill each one individually for. Just wasted efforts, wasted back and forth. $900 for an income and expense declaration... Stay away from the small time lawyer that bills you out the wazoo and then gets upset when you question where $5k went and only produced two forms to the court and hasn't accomplished anything. I went into my last hearing without an attorney and got the same results which in my opinion says quite a bit about any skill you thought you were paying for. Totally unprepared in the child support hearing, distracted even, working from home. Lackluster skill and performance. Do your homework and set expectations.

Sabrina and Vicki

Divorce is difficult, to say the least. Sabrina and Vicki were my support while I was unable to stand up for myself...by myself. They are real with you and will fight for you. Highly recommend this team.

Sabrina

was wonderful as was her assistant, Vicki; my divorce went on for 2 1/2 years due to my first attorney not doing his job; my ex-husband was horrible through this process, hiding assets, imputing me with the money, they managed to get my money for me and get my own personal assets into Morgan Stanley ...and T. Price Rowe, they saw this divorce to its conclusion. I would recommend Sabrina highly.

Fantastic Attorney and a Great Caring Person

First time I worked with Sabrina C. Fernandez, Esq. was during my divorce settlement in 2004. The way she managed the case and her caring touch seeking the true best interest of my beloved child and the parties involved (fairly, intelligently and justly) sold me on her services. Since then. I have be...en put in the unfortunate situation to have to revisit custody matters due to a lack of cooperation from the other party and a reasonable meeting of minds among the parties involved seeking what is truly best for our minor child. Because of this reason, I have been recently in the need to work again with Sabrina. I personally would choose her every time as there is no other attorney I would trust as much as her handling these type of delicate family matters. A great caring attorney who truly understands the love of a Father and how much (individuals like me) care for the true well being of our children and how much it means to be part of their lives... In my experience, Sabrina is one of the best attorneys in the field and by now a great friend as well. HF

Family Law Lawyer

I have been dealing with Family Court Custody/Visitation issues with a difficult other parent for about 12 years. Over the years I have been traumatized by lawyers that have represented me and sucked me dry financially but mase no difference in my case. At a point, I was giving up on hiring another... lawyer, but a friend recommended Sabrina Fernandez because she heard great and fair outcomes from a friend who hired Sabrina as an Attorney in Family Law Court. Sabrina Fernandez helped me in a dark time and in a short time! She is understanding, knowledgable, and respected in the courts as I have learned from other top lawyers! She was easy to talk to, is professional in approach, and overall has given me a positive light and reminder that there are truly caring lawyers out there! the outcome of my case cannot be better than what Icurrently have now... And Im glad that I concluded so many years of battle with Sabrina Fernandez representing me and being by my side. I truly recommend her to anyone who needs representation in Family Law Court...100%! And in any case.. (Hopefully not tho) if I need her represntation... She would def be hired by me again! Thanks Sabrina Fernandez!
