Stephanie R.
“Andres Sanchez quickly resolved a difficult problem my wife and I had with a special needs relative living in our home who refused to leave. Andres knew exactly what to, and did. I'm confident that it was the manner in which he communicated directly with social workers that made this a win for everyone involved!”

“Andrés is very knowledgeable and was able to resolve my matter with the result that I am very happy with... He helped me with the OMI case and of course there were a few curve balls along the way but he was able to handle them without breaking a sweat... if you're looking for an attorney, look for one that specializes in that particular field. If you're a landlord/property owner and in need of representation, look no further!”
