The Very Best

My Aunt was going through a long and complicated divorce when she passed away unexpectedly. Her estranged husband elected to take his Spousal Elective Share which I wanted to fight. I spoke to a couple of different lawyers and all told me it wasn’t worth fighting, the courts will favor the spouse but... I knew I had a case. Sandy listened to me and agreed to take the case. Sandy and all involved at the firm made a long 3 year process as easy as possible for me. Sandy was professional, stayed in contact with me during the whole process, she always communicated in a timely manner and explained every step of the process so I could fully understand. She was so easy to work with and really made me feel like she cared. Thanks to Sandy and all her hard work we won our case. I can not thank her enough taking the time to listen, being on top of all the facts and evidence. Thanks to her I am able to find some closure and I will be able to lay my Aunt to rest with a full heart knowing I made her final wishes possible.

Very Professional and Honest

I reached out to Ms. Gray to find out if she would be willing to help modify my QDRO. She called me right away and spent time explaining why it would serve no purpose to revisit this issue. I was very impressed with her; she took the time to explain and didn't take my case just because she could.

Expensive and No Results

Excellent with responsiveness and and average at keeping me informed, there is money to be earned with every contact. It is my guess she is knowledgeable, she has over 30 years experience; she's not very effective. I am worse off than ever before and have nothing to show but bills.

Do not trust her!

She was much too expensive for her skills. Child custody preliminary she send junior associates. During and pre-trial she was confused and did not request any changes. She made big promises and took me 4 month to see not results but excuses and my culpabilities. While her confidence may be reassu...ring, her actions on my behalf were null. My overall opinion: you may be best to cut your losses with her office, terminate the relationship, and move on.

Unfocused

I have used Ms Gray in both my divorce and custody case. She was very unfocused and always seemed to lose information I had given her. She did not seem prepared or on the ball in court which blindered both cases. My divorce has been dragged out for no cause but my bill seems to climb with no resoluti...on. She asks me what to do when the opposing counsel complains or enters pleas in court. I am paying her for her expertise in law not for me to make decisions on legal matters that she should be advising.
