Extremely knowledgeable

Honest and extremely knowledgeable Once again, I want to thank Sandra M Prowley for a job well done. Sandra was very successful in assisting me in my case, but more importantly she was always available for my family if we had a questions or concerns. I contacted several law firms, and Sandra was... confident when the initial contact occurred because of her vast knowledge and experience of over 16 years. We had the best lawyer on our side. Thank you again!!

Divorce

Ms. Sandra Prowley is an excellent lawyer. She is professional and very knowledgeable. I came to her in need of support and looking for direction. Ms. Sandra comforted me and calmed my fears. She strategized a clear game plan that I could understand. If I had not met with Ms. Sandra, I may have made... the situation much worse than it was. Ms. Sandra helped me to deal with the stress and remain calm; knowing that she had my back and knew what was coming next. Ms. Sandra is a law rock star! I am thankful I found her and would absolutely recommend her services to those in need.

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.
