Deborah Sandlin

I found Ms. Sandlin to be overly aggressive with poor ability to see the big picture. I did not find her to be a thoughtful, measured, wise person. In one instance she grossly misinterpreted facts - I do not know whether intentionally or not - and could not see another perspective on events. I fou...nd dealing with her very unpleasant.

Debbie has a heart of gold but at the same time, an intellect that is superior. She has appeared for oral arguments at both the North Carolina Court of Appeals and the North Carolina Supreme Court, and she has several published opinions from the appellate courts. She cares about people and she has th...e intellect and tenacity to protect your rights. She saved my life.

I am thrilled to finally share my experience with everyone because I feel that attorney’s like Deborah Sandlin and her law firm are unsung heroes. I had the privilege of working with Deborah Sandlin during my high conflict custody battle. She was professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and zeal...ously defended me in court. I will never forget how she constantly kept me updated which played a major role in keeping my anxiety to a minimum and was always honest with me about all aspects of my case, for good and bad. To the Sandlin Family Law Group- you should be proud for taking a case that seemed unwinnable and allowing me to not only prevail at the end but to have my child back into my life.

Don't ever under-estimate this woman! She took what I thought was a hopeless case, turned it around and then some. Where I couldn't see wood for trees, she provided clarity, understanding and empathy. Her depth of knowledge is second to none. What I came to learn was that Sandlin Family Law is mor...e than a legal firm, they are a family. They treat themselves as such and extend that same ethos to their clients. I have cried in front of and laughed with just about everyone there. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd find not only an amazing lawyer, but an entire practice, that puts my needs first; really listened and did what was best for me, not just what was expected. It is because of Debbie Sandlin and her team that I now have the courage and desire to work within the legal sector. In addition to sorting out my legal nightmare, Debbie has made me a better and stronger person - for this, I am truly grateful. Words cannot express or convey just what an outstanding lawyer Debbie really is. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Debbie Sandlin is without a doubt, the most knowledgable, resourceful, determined and committed lawyer I have ever worked with. By nature, a generous, honest and compassionate person, Debbie has kept me grounded throughout. She worked tirelessly on my case which had many complexities, including inter...national jurisdiction issues. She is highly respected by her peers and a force to be reckoned with in court. I highly recommend Debbie for any family law issues you may have.
