Outstanding Advocate

Miryana is an exceptional attorney and a true advocate. She represented me during my divorce, and years later I still seek and trust her counsel. Miryana has always taken the time to understand my situation, thoroughly explain my options and risks, and has kept me informed through every step of the p...rocess. She is knowledgeable, confident in her case law, and approaches each issue with both strategy and compassion. What stands out most is her responsiveness and attention to detail. Before mediation and hearings, she made sure I felt supported and prepared. Her professionalism and advocacy helped me navigate a very difficult time, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. I’m incredibly grateful for her hard work and for the support of her paralegal. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a strong, attentive, and skilled family law attorney.

Empathetic & Efficient

Miryana did an amazing job guiding me through my divorice. She was patient and understanding and provided thorough recommendations. She made the process pretty easy for me, and I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.

Smart, reliable, and trustworthy.

Hiring a lawyer can be a daunting task and confusing. However, Ms. Saenz’s paralegal, Corie, reached out to me after I made an online inquiry. She was able to get a summary of what I needed help with, passed it on to Ms. Saenz who was available for a consult the following week. Ms. Saenz understood ...my custody concerns and listened to what a positive outcome looked like for my family. She helped us navigate relocation due to military orders, create a parenting plan that was in the best interest of my children, and always made herself available if I had questions. I never had to do any groundwork or chase information (you can’t say that for a lot of lawyers) down and when you’re dealing with the courts - every little bit that can be taken off your plate is such a relief. Ms. Saenz is smart, a quick thinker, and an active listener. Corie, her paralegal, walked me through paperwork that I needed to sign. She answered any questions I had and those that required an in-depth response were passed on to Ms. Saenz whom usually responded by the next business day. Lastly, Ms. Saenz’s reputation proceeds her. Even though I did an online inquiry, it was done at the recommendation of another attorney who has worked on the opposing side. That recommendation told me everything I needed to know.

I highly recommend Miryana for any family law matters!

Miryana was very clear and concise in all of her counsel and representation of me. She was very transparent and was very clear in all possible outcomes. I am very very happy with her services and I highly recommend using her!

A fierce advocate who makes a bad situation bearable

Hiring a divorce attorney was not on my BINGO card, but life (and my ex) had other plans. When I hired Miryana I was undoubtedly at the lowest point of my life. But she was so reassuring and kind that felt more at ease even as I left the office. She did not disappoint. She and her paralegal, Corie, ...guided me through the process with so much care that I never once doubted that I would get a fair settlement. They preemptively calmed me when I got my first, incredibly inadequate first offer. And they were there to answer questions large and small. But most importantly, they listened and paid attention to my needs. This was a traumatic experience but they genuinely supported me and helped me recognize my own strength. And I always felt safe and that I had fierce advocates on my side. By the time we got to mediation, I was able to laugh. And when the divorce was final, I did a happy dance. Responsive, intelligent, skilled and strategic was my baseline in what I wanted in an attorney. Miryana (and Corie) nailed that and more. I hope I never need their services again, but if I do, I won't hesitate to call on them.
