Sanabria & Associates reviews

LOTS of turnover, massive caseload per employee, lack of communication between management and staff.

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.
