About Us
Our firm represents individuals in Florida and Puerto Rico in the areas of family law, bankruptcy law (Chapter 7 and 13, and corporate bankruptcy), student loan discharge, probate, airport and cruise accidents and some civil matters. We strive to provide a professional, courteous, and cost effective representation. Attorney Santiago has over 25 years of experience in the legal profession, and is licensed to practice in FL and PR both at the state and federal level. We have offices in Central Florida and in Puerto Rico.
How We Got Started
I was blessed to receive the best training there is: I was an associate at a top tier corporate law firm in Puerto Rico, working for some of the most respected and experienced attorneys. Eventually, I left the law firm and opened my own office, and now practice in Florida and Puerto Rico.

Our clients have responded positively to the measures we have taken. The majority take advantage of consultations and conferences via Zoom, Skype, Whatsapp and/or other similar services. It allows them to see me and personnel, while at the same time saving themselves a trip to the office. We still have a few clients, especially those that are consulting us for the first time, that insist on seeing us in person. We try our best to accommodate them, but insist that they wear a mask at all times while in our office.
As always, I am still available to clients via email, and if necessary via telephone when scheduled with the office. Frequent and effective communication with our clients continues to be a priority to us.
Nuestros clientes han respondido positivamente a las medidas que hemos tomado, y la mayoria se han beneficiado de consultas y conferencias via Zoom, Skype, Whatsapp y servicios similares. Estos servicios les permiten vernos, y a la misma vez le economizan un viaje a la oficina. Aun asi, tenemos algunos clientes que insisten en vernos en persona (sobretodo si es la primera vez), y hemos tratado de complacerlos. Sin embargo, se les exige que utilicen una mascara o cubierta de la cara en todo momento mientras esten en nuestras oficinas.
Como siempre, estoy disponible a nuestros clientes via correo electronico y por telefono (con cita previa). La comunicacion frecuente y efectiva con nuestros clientes es y seguira siendo una prioridad para nosotros! Estamos aqui para servirles!

I opened my business in the middle of the 2008 recession. People were filing bankruptcies right and left, and I took a chance and decided to focus on that. It was a risk, and I was hesitant, but I had all the experience I needed, and the best paralegal in town: my dad, a retired accountant who was an in-house comptroller for many years, excellent with numbers and the clients loved him! We made an excellent team! We had so much work I could not take other types of cases for years. I am very grateful for this great start, and for the great clients I have served all of these years in bankruptcy and other areas of the law. Giving back to the community has always been a part of who I am. My parents taught me it is important to give from what you have, always. My dad was a member of a Lion's Club, and we worked a ton of muscular dystrophy marathons, Roberto Clemente charity events, and many other charity activities. We would work on giving back at least one weekend out of every month, no questions asked. Today, I use my profession to give back. I take on a number of pro bono cases a year, and also make contributions by sitting on boards of several organizations, as well as making personal contributions.

Hello, I am on the Board of Directors of an organization that is supporting Puerto Ricans affected by hurricane Maria, both the ones living in Puerto Rico and the ones moving to Florida. Our donations and time are focused on supporting efforts initiated by this organization, which is being a key player in collecting items for relief flights to Puerto Rico, and assisting incoming Puerto Ricans with different necessities. For example, we are supporting a "Promesa de Reyes" effort to collect funds to buy toys and hand them our on Three Kings Day to those in need.
