Mike

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.

Not a good choice

She said all the right things but never delivered after she was paid a retainer. Calls were not returned promptly or at all sometimes. She handed my case over to someone else and acted like she couldn't be bothered.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
