Simply Outstanding

Our financial situation hit rock bottom. We had large debt, medical issues, IRS audits with new large taxes due, loss of income, etc. After exploring debt relief, debt consolidation, draining our savings we gave Michael a call. Thank God we did. Michael had us come in for a FREE consultation. H...e quickly reviewed our financial situation. His advice was just what we needed to start over. He worked tirelessly for us secure to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge. Thanks to Michael we have our life back, a secure way ahead and a new opportunity to live free of debt. Michael always put us at ease, answered all of our many questions and recommended sound legal actions. He even worked with our Credit Union to allow us to untangle two underwater cross-collateralized auto loans to redeem one of our cars well under the NADA book values. His legal expertise is amazing. Equally important Michael was compassionate throughout the process. He never made us feel guilty about some bad financial decisions we had made. His recommendations saved us more than his small legal fee. Bottom Line: We highly recommend Michael Sandler. He is simply outstanding.

Relationship: Other

"I became familiar with Michael's bankruptcy law practice through a mutual business associate. It quickly became obvious that Michael has spent many hours preparing informational videos for potential clients to obtain quality information about the entire bankruptcy process that are readily available on his website. Michael maintains a small office practice that allows him to personally assist each client and help them with a very difficult time in their lives. Watch the videos. He really cares and wants to help. I highly endorse Michael."

  • 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.
