About Sandra
Practice areas
- Divorce and separation: 30%
To obtain a divorce, the husband or wife must petition a court for a judgment of either Limited and/or Absolute divorce. Attorneys usually draw up the documents for the Petitioner (Plaintiff ) or person filing for divorce. All the documents are important so it is important to ensure they are drafted correctly with an attorney.

- Child custody: 30%
In Maryland, like many other states, the one ultimate standard in determining custody is what is in “the best interest of the child.” There are statutory factors that the court must consider to determine the best interest of the child.

I have known Sandra Guzman for at least ten years. She is a superior attorney who aggressively fights for her clients' rights, knows the law inside and out, and cares deeply about the wellbeing of her clients and their families. I have referred many people to Sandra precisely because I am confident that I am sending them to a lawyer committed to the cause of her clients. Sandra is ethical, honest, and a wonderful person. You will be very well represented by Sandra Guzman.
Alicia Lucero, Family Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I would highly endorse this lawyer. I have known Sandra for a number of years. She and I have been involved in various legal organizations including the Montgomery County Inns Of Court together. I know she has extensive family law knowledge and experience. That is the reason I don't hesitate to call her when I need to bounce ideas, about a case, off someone. She knows what she is doing in cases involving divorce, custody, or child support. I find her perspective very helpful. She is well respected in the legal community. Whenever I have seen her in court she appears professional, focused, and well prepared. It's apparent that she truly cares about her clients and is there to give 100% to them.
