Birth Injury Settlement
Sandy did an excellent job representing me and my child in our birth injury case. While friendly with us, she stood up to the hospital and their attorneys. She is knowledgeable, informed, organized and easy to work with. I recommend Sandy to anyone whose otherwise perfect child was injured during labor and delivery. We are now equipped for the needs of our child in the future.

Top notch attorney
I have already recommended Sandy Neuman to another person who was the victim of medical malpractice. She was so kind to my entire family. When we were unsure of the future Sany was there to pick us up and get the job done.

Excellent Lawyer
Even though Sandra is a Medical Malpractice Lawyer, we contacted her for a personal issue. Her knowledge of the law is extensive and she could not be more dedicated and compassionate. We also contacted her for advice when a friend of the family was in a car accident in another state and needed a lawyer. Sandra helped them to find a lawyer that they were very happy with.

Underage drinking
Mrs Neuman was well prepared and did a great job in representing and defending me. She went out of her way to make sure I, along with the witness in the case, were properly prepared for what we would put through. She did her research and made the prosecutions case look like a child put it togheter. I was found not guilty and was cleared of any wrongdoing. I would highly recommend Mrs Neuman because of her intelligence, attention to detail, and ability to relate to her clients.

Legal help
She offered great advice to help me with my current legal situation that helped me get the results that I wanted/needed. Very intelligent and insightful and always willing to help you. She also never judged me for what i had done to get into the legal trouble and supported me throughout all of it.

Slip and Fall
Our case was handled very professionally with a friendly manner. Our calls and questions were answered promptly and we were kept informed of any developments. We were pleased with our treatment and the outcome.

Excellent lawyers/law firm
Several years ago I hired ms Newman and the firm she works with for my medical malpractice case. The outcome was excellent as we settled with arbitration without needing to go trial. All thru the process I was treated with the utmost respect.
Posted by Lynne | November 23, 2010
A blessing
Although going through a medical malpractice case is painful, Sandy did everything and more to help lift the burden. She was truly a blessing in our lives!
Posted by Lauren | August 30, 2010
Compassionate and caring
I have already suggested to many people that if they suspect a medical mistake has occured that they should call Sandy Neuman. Sandy and her firm, Richards & Richards are the most prefessional and compassionate people I have ever dealt with. I cannot say enough about the way every person there treated us during this terrible time. Thank you Sandy. I will be happy to speak to anyone who wants to know what kind of attorney and person you are.
