The Very Best!

Sandra is a one of a kind attorney! Sandra is a gem! I highly recommend Sandra and her associates, and have already done so to the high satisfaction of colleagues and family friends. Sandra has developed an exceptional practice of skilled attorneys and friendly staff. Sandra personifies the word i...ntegrity. Sandra was an excellent advocate for my children and I during a harrowing time in our lives. Sandra represented me in a complicated custody case and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. She secured sole custody of my sons for me, and we are immeasurably moved by this positive result. Every step of the way, Sandra was there for my family with compassion, intelligence, and strength. Sandra is an expert in her field and provides guidance and open communication throughout the process. I have learned so much from her legal expertise but also from her perseverance and positive attitude. Sandra always made me feel that I was a priority to her. Sandra made sure to respond to all communication immediately and made herself completely accessible. Sandra encouraged the communication, and unlike many others in her field, is completely fair with her pricing. Sandra helped me gain dignity and composure even in times when navigating the court system felt unyielding. Sandra is always prepared for every scenario, and is the best representation you could possibly find. Sandra and her associate Briana handled my case expertly, and kept my confidence high during a time in my life when I needed that the most. I will forever be thankful to Sandra and Briana for the positive outcome they worked so diligently to secure for my case. Thank you Sandra and Briana for fighting so hard for me in court while at the same time always showing me kindness, empathy, and respect. While I will miss our regular phone calls, emails, texts, and our rapport, I am thrilled to be on this new journey that you made possible! I wish Sandra, Briana, and the whole team at Radna Law all the success and good fortune they rightly deserve!

Sandra, Kathy & Nicole are the best!

I wholeheartedly recommend Sandra, Kathy and Nicole who were always professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and readily available for questions and my panicky moments. Divorce and child custody cases are fraught with emotions and anxiety, but their calm, professional reassurance helped me throu...gh every phase of my court case and the counter suit. I always felt that I was in the most capable hands. If you're in the market for an attorney to represent you, look no further. These ladies are the best team!

Not a good experience - Divorce

I unfortunately did not have a favorable experience with Sandra. Hired Sandra Radna to represent me in my divorce. Problem with not listening to clients wants/needs. She took it upon herself to use standard visitation wording in a settlement agreement when I specifically stated my concerns with my ch...ildren and their father. It was my biggest concern with leaving my husband. She inserted this wording without my knowledge or consent. Charged me for the changes when I explained how the wording was unacceptable. Left out my husbands pension in the settlement agreement. Big item that was overlooked. I did catch the mistake before it went to my husbands attorney. Not something I would expect to be overlooked for $450/hour. Later on I asked for a motion for temporary spousal support, she took it upon herself to add things to the motion that I didn't want or ask for. When I question her about these issues, she becomes very confrontational. Instead of explaining, she becomes defensive. She was without compassion for my situation, very uncaring. Oh and her fees are really high. Thank god I switched. New attorney listens to me. Very, very important. So if you like dismal communication and endless bills and you don't question anything she decides to do or forgets to include, go to Sandra. She won't disappoint.

Sandra Radna Esq., is Definitely God Sent

When you are about to encounter one of the worse times in your life you definitely want Sandra Radna in your corner. Sandra, came highly recommended to me by someone who I had recently met through work. Funny thing about the introduction was that I was initially referred to another attorney who wi...thout hesitation referred me to Sandra and I thank God everyday that he did. I was in desperate need of finding an attorney who could advise my daughter on how to handle what appeared to be the makings of a very ugly custody matter involving my grandson's father. As a loving mother and grandmother, I'm sure you can understand why it was important to me to find just the right attorney to handle my daughter's case. Sandra, by far was the "Blessing", "Guardian Angel" that I was looking for. Sandra, wasn't just an expert in her field, she was professional, courteous, understanding, patient, caring, kind and attentive. Sandra, unknowingly became my friend. While my daughter became her direct client, Sandra also listened to and addressed my concerns regarding my daughters case which provided me with some much needed comfort and ease. Sandra, is definitely worth her weight in gold. Sandra was very accommodating and often responded to us well outside of her normal office hours, even very late night and on weekends. As a paralegal for a municipal agency, I can definitely tell you that finding an attorney that will work outside of his or her normal business hours is rare. Sandra beyond a doubt, is the exception that you're looking in selecting an attorney to handle your case and is definitely an Angel walking amongst us here on earth. The details of my daughters case were very disturbing and often times frightening. However, Sandra never let the developments stray her away. She would always reassure us that we weren't alone and that no matter what, she would be there with us until the end and she was. I imagine that all child custody matters are never easy but if you ever find yourself or a love one in such a position, the only attorney I would ever recommend you should have by your side would be Sandra M. Radna Esq. The service she provides will far exceed your expectations and expense. I honestly don't know what my daughter and I would have done without her. Thank you Sandra for everything.

The best lawyer above all

When i think of lawyers which i have had a few over the years , there is only one that comes to my mind that has made such a great impact on my life and her name is Sandra Radna. She is not only an expert lawyer and knows the legal system , she is a warm charming human being that really cares for her... clients and will go the distance to fight for your rights. While i was going through the worst time in my life over a custody battle and possibly losing my child, Sandra was there for me all the way not only as a lawyer ,but as a friend who really cared what i was going through. I was so impressed with her expert knowledge of the legal system it gave me hope to go through such a terrible time. Words can not express how thankful i am to have had such a great lawyer as Sandra, needless to say how happy i am with my child.I would highly recommend Sandra to anyone that is going through any legal issues.Thank you Sandra for all the hard work.
