Amazing customer service

Dara helped me with a bankruptcy in 2020 she was amazing, knowledgeable, and very helpful in explaining everything to me. She even helped me last week with something that came up from my bankruptcy and just as hard yet again for me! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone she really is one of th...e best I have had the pleasure to meet.

Incredibly knowledgable and Fast

I sent an inquiry to her through this website and within two minutes of sending it, I got a phone call. She was extremely approachable, friendly, and knowledgeable—she gave me my consultation right then and there over the phone, and before I we ended our call, I knew next steps for moving forward.

Exceptional attorney

Dara helped me through a housing matter and I was so grateful for her expertise and confidence. She was able to arrange a settlement for me despite the other party doing everything in their power to intimidate us. I would absolutely recommend her for any housing related issues!

Amazing Advice

I called Dara for advice on my tricky leasing situation, and was blown away by her knowledge and experience in this field. She was able to give me the perfect advice with great confidence and very friendly all at the same time. I would absolutely recommend Dara to my friends and family!

My beacon of hope...

Dara Sandau was a beacon of hope to me when I was drowning in debt which caused me more anxiety than I already had. Ms. Sandau is a human before being a lawyer. When I found Ms. Sandau she told me to take it one day at a time. Her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself . ...Ms. Sandau warned me that she was going to asked me to send her a lot of paperwork which I appreciated it it. She wanted to be through so that would have a great outcome. On the day of the hearing we were prepared and had hope that this was going to be a good outcome. My chapter 7 got approved. I couldn’t believe it. Now I am able to start a new life and really be careful with the money I have. Ms. Sandau services consist of landlord tenant, consumer protection and business law, and Bankruptcy. Dara Sandau fue un rayo de esperanza para mí cuando me estaba ahogando en muchas deudas. La Sra. Sandau es humana antes que abogada. Cuando la Sra. Sandau, me dijo que tomara todo un día a la vez. Su comportamiento tranquilo y empático me ofreció un alivio emocional. La Sra. Sandau me advirtió que me iba a pedir que le enviara un montón de papeleo, lo cual se lo agradezco. Ella me pidió todo esto para que nuestro resultado fuera estupendo. El día de la audiencia estábamos preparadas y tuvimos la esperanza de que este fuera un buen resultado. Mi petición para el capítulo 7 fue aprobada. No lo podía creer. Ahora puedo empezar una nueva vida y tener mucho cuidado con mi dinero. Los servicios de la Sra. Sandau consisten en arrendador inquilino, protección al consumidor derecho comercial, y quiebra.
