Review

Sandra Ribera believes passionately that every child has the fundamental right to have a childhood where you don’t become a victim of a violent and heinous sexual assault. If you are an adult as I am now and were victimized you need to call Sandra Ribera. Sandra will be sensitive to your emotiona...l state, willingness to listen and very attentive to detail. Sandra showed me great compassion, very strong knowledge of the law regarding my rights to find and seek justice and restitution. Sandra was able to do that pre litigation. Sandra is an amazing attorney. Sandra clearly and articulately explained the law and my rights, was always reassuring whenever we spoke and never made me doubt that she wasn’t fighting for me. With the expertise that Sandra has and that she exhibited in the pre litigation process is why she was successful. I would without a doubt highly recommend Sandra Ribera to any woman who has stayed silent for so many years out of fear and the shame you feel that she will fight for you and allow you to reclaim some of the dignity and self worth you’ve felt you lost so long ago.

Sandra is on entirely different level, Excellent in every aspect!

Working with Sandra and her colleagues was by far the best experience I had regarding a legal matter! She helped me navigate a complex and very personal case. Which required a deep understanding of very intimate elements. Sandra showed great empathy, always treated me with dignity and respect. I felt... that I could share any detail as she created a safe environment and empowered me immensely. I can't even find the proper words to describe Sandy's qualities as well as her colleagues. Navigating the US legal system as a foreigner is anxiety inducing. Having the right attorney is vital! Sandra, on top of being super competent, has a great personality. I found myself most of the time not even thinking about my issue. My anxiety went completely away once I knew I was in very good hands! Luckily, she was recommended to me and her firm was the first one I reached out to. I feel if I took the phone to dial random attorneys, I would have given up by the first call as I would have felt unsafe to share all the intimate details. If you are looking for an attorney, just stop looking, you just found the best! Thanks to Sandra, now I can finally create my charity dedicated to help many people. I am eternally grateful!

Personable and experienced trail attorney, very honest!

Sandy did a free consultation for me when I had a complex legal issue appear in my life. I was really impressed with how much time she spent on this evaluation without charging me. After she analyzed my situation, she determined a lawyer in a different type of practice, criminal law, would be more ...appropriate for me. Even though she wasn’t a fit for my case, I was very impressed with her knowledge of the law and her attention to my legal problems. She gave me a good, detailed overview of the trial process, which was really helpful to me when considering my options. Because of this, I plan on reaching back out to her for a related legal issue once my initial problems are addressed. I would definitely recommend her and I especially appreciate how personable she was!
