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!

Trouble with my Landlord

Dara Sandau is an outstanding attorney, very knowledgeable and extremely good at negotiating and settling disputes. I was facing an extremely difficult, mind-melting situation with an unjustified lease termination and habitability issues with my apartment. Dara was able to achieve a really great and ...fair settlement out of court much faster than expected. She is as professional and effective as they come. I strongly recommend Dara as an Attorney, she will not let you down.

Home Owner

Attorney Dara Sandau was incredibly effective and  powerful in a difficult consumer protection case I was faced with.  I found myself in a dispute that I could not move forward without legal assistance. Immediately, I recognized her knowledge and integrity but also her kindness.  She was patient ...yet tenacious in her effort to help me obtain justice. She was willing to listen and share her expertise with compassion and care. This made all of the difference because by myself, I was unable to accomplish what I knew was fair. With Attorney Sandau's assistance, I received justice. I am sincerely grateful and would highly recommend her.

Road map to success

Dara was critical to speedy and successful conclusion of my case. Several expensive items were taken by my moving company. With everyone pointing the finger to the other party it appeared that I may never recoupe the loss. Dara put together a communication plan identifying key contacts who were in a ...position to take ownership and promptly reimburse the full value of the missing items.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
