This woman should be disbarred and not allowed around children.

Dolores WILL NOT protect your children. My experience with her was one of the worst situations because she refused to research extensively and my children, who were being abused by a family member, were re-victimized by them because she failed to protect them. I had a very similar experience to some ...of the other reviewers who were traumatized by Dolores and I wish she was never allowed to practise law again or be involved with family law.

RUN

If this woman is assigned to your case......RUN! Her and her mouthy secretary, Michelle, were absolutely horrible to deal with. There is no communication at all. It would seem as if Ms. Sarandos is more interested in "padding her income" all the while having Ms. Nicks do the majority of the work. ... It does not matter how you try to contact, there will never be a response. The only time I received responses is when I went into a court and talked to a judge. Then like magic there was a response.

Dolores got my granddaughter molested again

If you get this woman assigned to your case run like H. Both her and her mouthy secretary were absolutely horrible to deal with. The only thing that she had to do was to request a psychological evaluation for my ex son in law whose family was molested my granddaughter while my ex son in law watched. ...The results from his psychological evaluation would have put him in supervised visitations and kept my granddaughter safe. Instead Dolores allowed the family that was molested her to have visitations with her where they molested her again. She told the court that this was just a family feud even when there were several third party professionals willing to go to court for my granddaughter. She had the power to make a difference but she basically said that she had already written her review and wasn't going to do anything else about it. Several people called her to let her know what they had heard out of my granddaughters mouth but she never called them back. I sent her an eight page email begging for help for my granddaughter but she actually complained about that in court. Just say NO, NO and No if you are ever forced to use her. She did an extremely bad job and never protected my granddaughter like a guardian at litem is supposed to do. I certainly hope nothing ever happens to one of her grand children.
