Pros

There is absolutely nothing I can sincerely say that was pleasant about any of this.

Cons

Initially, my experience with the firm was very lighthearted, but as time progressed, I realized it was quite the opposite. My entire experience has been hell on earth -- and that's the "nicest" version I can put it. The HR department is truly operated by people who: 1. Don't have even an ounce of compassion, empathy, or INTELLIGENCE as both individuals but also as "professionals" in the workplace. 2. The atmosphere is threatening. Your innocent and PRIVATE conversations with fellow colleagues are weaponized against you by HR, who shamelessly invade your privacy. There is absolutely no foundation of trust, communication, or transparency. To operate on a day-to-day basis feeling like you're walking on eggshells has deteriorated not only my own mental health but other colleagues who resonate with this feeling. I intentionally walked into this role, hoping to show up with my skillset and that it would be a contributing factor but my colleagues and I have received the absolute worst experience -- particularly with Ximena. I'm not quite aware of her experience or background in Human Resources, but she represents EVERYTHING that HR shouldn't be. She has been nothing but threatening, unprofessional, and clearly very unfit for the role she carries as she does not display ANY knowledge on how to manage a crucial role that she holds. For the sake of the firm, consider the repercussions of having someone who is clearly inexperienced holding such an important role.

Pros

Easy to get in, because no one would be crazy enough to work there. They pray for the unexperienced, because they will think it's normal to work unethically. There are really no Pros, just to get some experience working in an unethical firm.

Cons

The firm is aware of its operational problems but has repeatedly failed to address them. The structure and expectations placed on attorneys make it extremely difficult to succeed, and even those who meet performance standards often face termination without clear justification. Management routinely makes promises during recruitment that are later changed or not honored. Salaries have been reduced, bonuses and reimbursements have gone unpaid, and in some instances earned wages have been withheld after resignation or termination. The firm steals from its employers and from its clients. Clients were asked to pay substantial fees for services that were not completed, and employees were sometimes not paid agreed compensation. The work environment is intimidating. Attorneys who raise ethical concerns about case handling or firm practices are threatened with discipline or termination. Because of the firm’s disorganization and administrative failures, attorneys are regularly exposed to ethical complaints from clients and directly from judges, despite acting in good faith and within their professional duties.

Sanabria & Associates Response
2mo
We strongly disagree with the allegations made in this review. Sanabria & Associates is committed to ethical legal practice, compliance with professional obligations, and fair compensation practices. Assertions that the firm engages in theft, unethical conduct, or retaliation are categorically false and do not reflect our operations or values. Our practice is fast-paced and demanding, and all attorneys are expected to meet professional, ethical, and performance standards consistent with client representation and litigation responsibilities. Not every role is the right fir for every individual, and personnel decisions are made based on business needs, professionalism, performance, and adherence to firm expectations. We remain committed to improving operations, supporting our staff, and providing quality representation to our clients.
