Successful negotiation - thank you!

Sandra represented me in a dispute with my employer and skillfully negotiated a very generous settlement for me. Throughout the process, she gave me actionable advice and set realistic expectations for the likely outcome. She was tenacious when the opposing counsel was difficult to engage and made ...sure I was always up to date on the latest. I'm so glad Sandra and her team was on my side!

Grateful for your services

I am very grateful to Ms. Ribera and her team for the wonderful accomplishment in my case. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney, as she is an excellent attorney and has integrity and professionalism. God bless you for all your wonderful work!

Compassionate Law Office

I was a victim of a violent crime (attempted murder) in 2014. Sandy Ribera was referred to me by another attorney. From the first time we spoke on the phone, she assured me she cared about me as a person, showing me compassion and patience and empathy. I looked forward to correspondence with Sandy... during these dark days. She was a breath of "fresh air" during the most painful and depressing period in my life. During litigation I observed her. She is a strong, intelligent, confident attorney who loves her work and brings a positive attitude to the table, no matter what. Sandy won a settlement on my behalf that was quadruple the amount of my workers compensation settlement. Four years after this brutal attack on my life, I am happy, content and very comfortable with my lifestyle. This would not be possible without the fine legal representation I received from Ribera Law. A+ service.

Litigation warrior

In 2013 I contracted HIV while working in the adult film industry. I met Sandra in the summer of 2015. After meeting Sandra and her hearing my story she told me it sounds like you have a case. No other lawyer wanted to even touch this case nor stand up to the adult film industry. Sandra went all in, ...stood up for me and had my back when nobody else did. I am so grateful and thankful that she was brought into my life to help me in this horrible situation. Sandra actually cared and took time out of her own life to help take care of me. I’m am very happy with what she accomplished for me. She will always be a huge part of my life not only for all the hard work and dedication she put into my case but because she is an amazing human being. If you ask if I would recommend her, that’s like asking if you would want Michael Jordan on your basketball team! If you want a lawyer who will fight for you through thick and thin and actually care about you as a person and not just a pay check then I full heartily recommend Sandra Ribera!!

Above and beyond my expectations

I contracted HIV while I was working in the adult film industry in 2013. After looking for a lawyer to handle my case for about a year and a half, I met Sandy in 2015. My case was not easy. However, after listening to my story, Sandy agreed to take my case because she knew that what happened to ...me was wrong. Sandy fought to get me justice when nobody else would even try. She put on her warrior face and went to work. That case went on for 2+ years. During that time, Sandy fought for me like she was fighting for her own life. She ate, slept, and breathed my case, and she made me know that no matter what happened, we were in it together to the end. Even now that my case is over, Sandy is still there for me and remains a huge part of my life. I’m very happy with the results Sandy was able to accomplish in my case. I am finally able to move on with my life. I honestly can’t tell you where I would be without Sandy representing me in this matter. There are no amount of things I can say to truly express my gratitude for her. For those of you out there that may be in need of a lawyer, if you really want somebody with a ton of integrity who will fight tooth and nail for you and has the balls to keep on fighting when most people would just give up, then Sandra Ribera Speed is the attorney for you.
