Fantastic Attorney!!!

Attorney Sandler is one of the best attorney's (and human beings) I have known and had the pleasure of doing business with. I was in the middle of a difficult legal situation where my current attorney had failed to do his job and it cost me financially and also cost me a huge opportunity to relocate ...to another area for a position. So, I did a quick search online and contacted Attorney Sandler and he listened to my situation and from day 1 worked nonstop to get me the justice I deserved and is in the process of getting me a full refund on all the money I had to spend unnecessarily!! He is a caring person and he really wants to see his clients happy. He removed all the stress this legal situation had placed on my shoulders and I could not be more grateful to him and his amazing staff. I can't recommend him enough to anyone out there who needs legal help. If you want an attorney who will fight for you and do so because he genuinely cares about people then Attorney Sandler is the man for the job.

Thank uou Mr Sandler

I was in a car accident in June of 2017 and was told that i was going to need an attorney for my personal injuries. Being my first accident i had been in i was hurt and scared. I was referred to Mr Sandler and went to see him the very next day. They were very kind and patient with me. He explained e...verything to me and went over the accident very thoroughly. He always responded to me when i contacted him and would contact me if he hadn't heard from me. He settled my case with what I thought was fair and what i was happy with. I would surely hire him again if i so needed, but i pray i never have to go through that again. Thank for all you did for me

Poor experience

I hired Greg Sandler for 2 cases, first in 2013 and the other was in 2016, both for vehicle accidents. First case went decently and the most recent was awful. The first thing I would like to note is the unprofessional response time of Mr. Sandler as it seemed the only time I spoke to him was when he ...took my case and when we settled (he's never available to speaks to). In between, it was tooth and nails to get a hold of his assistant who was extremely rude numerous times. My experience was a 1 out of 5 because Mr. Sandlers assistant said she would take care of all of my medical bills before we settled and that was not the case. I have come to find out after settling that one of my Dr. Follow up appointments was never paid. Upon discovering this, I called his office to ask why this was and the assistant said I never told them about this, which is hearsay at this point. I hired them and agreed to giving them 33 percent, to not have to worry about any of this and now I'm on the hook to pay a medical bill. I asked if Mr. Sandler would agree to pay it since he made a good portion of money from my case but was laughed at and basically said I'm on my own. Please find another personal attorney that will be willing to always answer your calls and speak to you directly, as this is what YOU HIRE them for.

Couldn't have had a better Lawyer!

We hired Greg in October of 2013, after my significant other was hit by a work van, in a parking lot and suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury. His son and I reached-out to friends for an attorney and Greg's name came up. We met with him and concluded that he was the one to go with. He is very personabl...e, knowledgeable, sympathetic and knew how to proceed from there. It was a long process, which took a little over a year, but Greg came through! I've never seen someone work harder and in more detail, than Greg! He was totally focused when dealing with us, even though he had other clients. He was instrumental in settling our case to our satisfaction, for without his help, it may not have turned-out that way. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

Integrity

In a profession which has a very bad reputation, Mr. Sandler cares about his clients and puts his best foot forward to represent you. His integrity means a lot to him. His intellect far exceeds most. I would highly recommend Mr. Sandler to everyone.
