Warning Based on My Experience with a Guardian ad Litem…read more 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.

My experience with Annette Sanchez was deeply disappointing and frustrating. She proved to be an…read moreunreliable 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

However, she took my brother's case and the result was 100% positive, she won it in court. Likewise, Ybarra has won every case that I have recommended to her. Thank you, Attorney Ybarra.

My husband filed a claim on November 18, 2025, following a traffic accident in which he was the…read moreinjured party--and therefore innocent. The agency contacted him, initiating a process of consultations, treatments, and massages--which, in reality, amounted to numerous sessions and a significant investment of time. In January of this year, the attorney handling his case stated that he had not yet formally filed the lawsuit because the agency wanted my husband to undergo more invasive treatments for his herniated discs in order to extract a larger settlement. When he declined to proceed with their requests, they began stalling; the case was passed from one attorney to another, and finally--today, May 12--we were informed that they could no longer represent him. Their response was that they were expressing no opinion regarding the merits of the case--this, despite the fact that he had asked them back in January to close the file and proceed with the lawsuit based on the evidence they already possessed. I view this as a profound lack of respect for their clients' time, a failure to provide clear communication, and a demonstration of a singular interest in lining their own pockets.

I am writing in response to your recent reply regarding my previous review. I would like to clarify…read morethat as soon as your office responded, I immediately called. However, once again, I was told that I would receive a callback and never did. Attached, you will find three receipts totaling $3,000, not $30 or $300, but $3,000. Given this amount, it is unacceptable that no action or progress was made on my case. I trusted your office with this payment, expecting services to be rendered, but instead I am told my case is CLOSED! This is not only disappointing but unprofessional, and I believe your office should be held accountable for this. Your response stating that your team called me multiple times is a LIE. I called several times to explain my situation, yet my case was never initiated. Each call resulted in a promise of a callback, or a note being left for the attorney, which, frankly, is an inadequate approach to handling sensitive matters. The use of sticky notes to track client cases is highly unprofessional and shows a lack of attention to detail. I was assigned to a paralegal, Sandra Eirnova (who had no clue what she was doing), who failed to provide the necessary communication regarding the steps needed to proceed with my case. I went to your office this year January 2025 again to see if anything can be done and they told me NO your case is closed we will have someone from accounting to call you and see If something can be done AGAIN no call back. As a client needing immigration services you really believe I wasn't going to take any ACTION after paying your firm 3k and you have the audacity to say you called me and in reality, you didn't. I will accept the fact that my payment to your office was a GIFT for doing absolutely NOTHING! I hope that you take this feedback seriously and reconsider the way your firm handles client cases moving forward

She's straightforward and…read moretells you how the process is step by step however our case has taken far too long, I've tried contacting her team to figure out what's going on and they say they'll call back and don't, they ask us to sign the same papers over and over, they don't send out the packages as soon as possible because they're not organized. I'm disappointed for being tricked to believe this process with her would be a breeze. I was trying to figure out what was happening and apparently spoken to her team extensively as she's told me. The thing is they take their time and you can honestly do all of it by yourself instead of getting yourself in a $6,000 debt with someone who doesn't have your best interest at heart.

I can't remember where I first saw Idalis's name but I do remember her outstanding reviews…read moreconvinced me and my husband to go with her as our counsel. I'm very glad I did. Idalis and her team, because it's a team effort, with a special shout out to Idalmis (her sister who's the the COO to her CEO) Got the process going, kept it going, took care of every little detail, was very responsive to questions and concerns (even if I asked like the same thing probably five times). And kept checking in . Immigration issues always carry some stress. Knowing they were there for us took a huge weight off our shoulders. They weren't perfect there were a couple of glitches (most notably a form that didn't get filed as fast as it should of due to a teammembers medical issue that caused it to be overlooked for a few days.) But with the good communication back and forth, once the problem was identified it was immediately expedited and taken care of. To me seeing how a team handles a problem is a better indication of how good they are as opposed to when everything is running totally smoothly. Seeing them handle the problem so quickly and efficiently after recognizing it gave me more confidence that if something went wrong they would have it cleared up ASAP. So If you want a warm and friendly, and caring staff (the second time I sat with Idalmis she asked about my mother-in-law's health, which had been fragile at the time of initial meeting. Her concern was genuine and I was touched she remembered and asked me about it - luckily she was much better). Who is also experienced, diligent and effective. I absolutely recommend Idalis Perez and her excellent team.
