Life's too short to be in the wrong relationship. Serving clients throughout the state of Florida.
From Real Estate to Rebuilding LivesThe Divorce Lawyers | Cabanas Law Firm began far from the polished offices we have today. Back in 2008, Sergio Cabanas was running a real estate business that looked successful on the outside, until the market crashed. In a matter of months, millions in profit turned into millions in debt. Friends, family, and investors who had trusted him were looking for answers. Sergio didn’t hide. He took responsibility, and then, he started over.The Humble BeginningWith nothing but two filing cabinets and an old door laid across them as a makeshift desk, Sergio grabbed the nearest phone and got to work. No office, no staff, just one mission: help others going through the same devastation he was. That grit, humility, and relentless service mindset still drive us today.The EvolutionAs the needs of the community changed, so did the firm. What started with foreclosure defense expanded into bankruptcy, debt settlement, landlord-tenant disputes, then estate planning and family law. But we found our true calling in divorce law. We’ve since become one of the largest divorce-only law firms in Florida.Focused on Divorce. Built on Family.We don’t do everything, we only do divorce, and we aim to do it better than anyone else. Our team understands the emotional complexity of family separation, especially when children and high-stakes assets are involved. And to this day, we’re still a family-run firm. Sergio leads as Managing Partner. His wife keeps our operations in order. Sebastian drives marketing strategy, and Victor initiates client relationships with heart. We believe in the power of family, even when helping others transition out of one. Because when you’re going through one of life’s hardest chapters, you deserve a team that knows what starting over really looks like.

I had the pleasure of working with Sergio Cabanas during a challenging time in my life, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His expertise as a divorce lawyer was evident from our first meeting. Sergio guided me through every step of the process with professionalism and compassion. He was always available to answer my questions, offered sound advice, and provided clear explanations of the legal aspects involved. His dedication to my case and his ability to negotiate favorable terms truly made a difference. Thanks to Sergio, the outcome was better than I could have hoped for. If you need a skilled and empathetic divorce lawyer, Sergio Cabanas is the one to choose.
Thank you for your generous review. It was an honor to guide you through such a challenging time, and I’m glad to hear that my support made a positive difference. I’m always here for any future questions or needs, and I truly appreciate your trust and reco
Sergio Cabanas is a FIERCE advocate for his clients. He helped me with setting up my business and was integral to the creation process and help/informed me with things I didn't even THINK of!! Brilliant lawyer, quick on his feet, and extremely knowledgable and compassionate. I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for the Best Divorce Attorney in Florida.
Extremely helpful staff, reliable. Was able to feel at ease during my legal process. They would explain things to me clearly always. Thank you so much. I highly value this firm and recommend of course I recommend.
I want to take the time out to let the team at Cabanas Law Firm know how much I appreciate their help with my dad. Attorney Ms. Yolanda Fox is the best. She was very sympathetic in handling my dad's case. she treated him like he was her own father. Also the wonderful Jenna Dellicarpini who was always there when we needed an update or a followup, or anything else for that matter. If you are looking for a Law Firm that will treat you and your loveones like family, this is it! I never had to wonder what fase of our business we were in because they kept us updated all the time. Not to mention the fact that the owner checks in on you to make sure you are happy also. you also get weekly invoice update. I could not be more pleased with Ms. Fox and Mrs. Dellicarpini.
When I first contacted the office of Mr. Cabanas I was skeptical since I had a horrible experience with my previous attorney but Erick Estrada turned that horrible experience into a positive and pleasant one, he make me feel comfortable, he was very positive and confident about my case. Erick was very professional and he understood my concerns.Mr. Estarada is a real asset to the firm . The next I meet with Mr. Sergio Cabanas and Mr. Estrada and they make me feel confident once again . Mr. Cabanas spent 2 hours with me, he went above and beyond, and took time to help me to understand that I had the upper hand in my case and I was in a good position ,once again his words make feel confident, his knowledge was amazing. He already knew a lot about my case when I got there and that made me feel much better. I knew right away they were the right choice. I went only for a consultation and I ended up hiring them that’s how comfortable and confident they make me feel. Thank you both
I have known Laura for many years. She has always been professional & understanding to me. I would add that she is very conscientious and an empathetic attorney. I would not hesitate to recommend her unequivocally. Sincerely Michael
My consultation with Atty. Sergio for an uncontested divorce was incredibly smooth and reassuring. He provided clear explanations, thoughtful advice, and handled my concerns with professionalism and care. I left feeling confident in the process and grateful for his guidance during this important step.
Mi caso de adopción llevaba meses estancado y me sentía desesperado porque mi abogado anterior me dejó a la mitad y fue como un valdazo de agua fría. Llegué a con referencias al bufete del Dr. Sergio y él tomó mi caso con una dedicación que me dejó sin palabras. No solo resolvió los problemas legales, sino que también me devolvió la esperanza en el proceso. Hoy tengo a mi hijo en casa y una nueva oportunidad de ser feliz. Todo esto fue posible gracias a su ayuda. Es una persona extraordinaria que pone el corazón en lo que hace.
Mi consulta con la Firma de Abogados Cabanas fue excelente. El equipo fue profesional, conocedor y se tomó el tiempo para responder todas mis preguntas. Me fui sintiéndome seguro y bien informado sobre mis opciones.

They explained every detail with precision and patience, ensuring I fully understood my options and felt confident moving forward. Their professionalism and genuine dedication left me thoroughly impressed—I couldn't have asked for better guidance.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
