Paulino Estevez joined the Sasso & Guerrero family in April 2021. As a Tampa native, he moved to Jacksonville in 2015 to begin a new chapter in his life. Upon living here, he attended the University of North Florida and obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in International Studies and Spanish. As a native Spanish speaker, his goal in life has always been to follow the footsteps of his parents in helping the community.

Thanks to a little help from others, a little bit of kismet, and a little bit of “right place, right time,” he is happily embarking down his path in the field of family law. His initial position at Sasso & Guerrero was the firm’s receptionist/intake coordinator, but he was quickly promoted to operations manager, a position in which he thrives. He also enjoys the proud distinction of being the only gentleman representative the ladies allow in the firm. In his spare time, Paulino enjoys going out for hikes with his family, enjoying the local gastronomy Jacksonville has to offer, and cracking the “best” dad jokes.

At the time of graduation, she was uncertain which field of law she wanted to pursue. After accepting the position at Sasso and Guerrero, she soon realized her passion for helping others.

Working for Molly and Christie played a major role in her determining that working in family law was the perfect fit for her life. A cornerstone member of the Sasso & Guerrero team, Janelle is responsible for some of the first stitches running through the fabric of the amazing camaraderie of the firm as it has grown. In her spare time, Janelle enjoys spending time with her family and traveling around the country to enjoy beaches. She is a proud mother of a little girl. She has made it a point to strive for her goals, which are nothing less than her grandest dreams.
