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.

Reviews
These client and peer reviews are from the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network.
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.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
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.
