Warning Based on My Experience with a Guardian ad Litem I would like to share my experience with a professional who was appointed as the guardian ad litem in my child's case, in the hope that others do not make the same mistake I did. Unfortunately, this individual is far from the impartial and committed representative that a child truly needs during a legal process. Her work was shallow, lacking depth or meaningful investigation. She did not properly analyze the evidence or consider all the relevant aspects of the case. In my situation, she based her assessment almost entirely on interviews with the child's father and his relatives, while completely disregarding my request to have members of my family interviewed. According to her, that information was "irrelevant" and would only lead to unnecessary expenses--despite the fact that I paid for half of all the services she supposedly provided. This guardian did not act as a neutral voice for my child in court. Instead, she repeated the father's claims without scrutiny, showing a clear bias and undermining the integrity of her role. During her visit to the father's home, she interviewed my son in his presence, failing to offer him the privacy and safe space needed to speak openly. As a result, my son was put in an extremely uncomfortable and distressing situation, feeling pressured to accept statements that were not true. Even when she received therapy reports that documented these concerns, she showed little to no interest in the child's position or emotional well-being. In court, her testimony echoed the exact words of the father, rather than offering a balanced and factual perspective. When I suggested that she interview members of my family--just as she had done with the father's--she refused and later described my message as a "nasty email," which I found highly unprofessional and dismissive. This individual did not advocate for the child's best interest, nor did she demonstrate a fair, investigative, or ethical approach. Her role seemed limited to collecting payment and recommending therapy for everyone involved, rather than actively working to understand the dynamics of the case. She was uncommunicative, showed no initiative to investigate thoroughly, and ultimately failed to uphold the responsibilities of a guardian ad litem. It is incredibly disheartening that individuals who carry the title of "professional" can so profoundly mishandle the hopes of parents and the needs of innocent children. We seek justice and protection for our children in court, and we deserve guardians who are ethical, impartial, and truly committed to being the voice of the child. In my experience, this person was none of those things. read more

My experience with Annette Sanchez was deeply disappointing and frustrating. She proved to be an unreliable and untrustworthy legal representative. Throughout my case, she failed to communicate effectively, often leaving me without updates or guidance during critical moments. One of the most upsetting aspects of working with her was her complete lack of empathy, especially regarding my son, who is nonverbal and on the autism spectrum. It was clear from the beginning that she had no knowledge or experience dealing with children with autism, and she made no effort to understand or accommodate his needs. She Also Lied and stated she to had a daughter on the spectrum when clearly that was a lie. Who lies about their child having special needs it made me feel as she was mocking or not taking my child's disability seriously. She also compared my child to another child on the spectrum and if she had the proper knowledge about autism she would have know. That no 2 children on the spectrum can be compared.Her dismissive attitude toward his condition was not only unprofessional but also deeply hurtful. Additionally, there were serious concerns about a potential conflict of interest that were never properly addressed. Instead of advocating for my family, she seemed far more focused on financial gain than on doing what was right or ethical. If you're looking for a lawyer who is compassionate, reliable, and truly committed to serving your best interests--especially in sensitive family matters--I would strongly advise seeking counsel elsewhere read more

I cannot recommend Annette Sanchez highly enough. From the very beginning, it was clear we were working with someone truly exceptional. Both parties were absolutely certain our divorce was heading to trial--there seemed to be no common ground, just tension, frustration, and years of unresolved conflict. But Annette changed the trajectory entirely. With a calm presence, deep empathy, and unwavering professionalism, Annette guided us through one of the most difficult processes of our lives. She listened without judgment, held space for both of us, and somehow helped us see possibilities where we had only seen walls. Her ability to stay neutral yet deeply engaged was nothing short of masterful. What truly set Annette apart was her unmatched knowledge of the law. She understood every nuance of the legal process and used that expertise to ensure both parties felt protected, informed, and empowered throughout. She brought clarity to confusing issues and offered guidance that was not only legally sound but deeply humane. Because of Annette, we reached an agreement we could both live with--something we truly didn't believe was possible. She helped us avoid a lengthy, painful court battle and instead walk away with dignity and clarity. If you're facing divorce and feel like peace is out of reach, I highly recommend Annette Sanchez. She's a game changer. read more
