Brilliant. She gets the job done. And she cares.

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.

Thank you so much!

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.

Above and Beyond

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.

My Legal ‘Good Samaritan’

A good family lawyer should have traits of not only good legal knowledge, expertize and confidence but also kindness, being considerate and compassion. And I have no hesitation in saying that Debbie Sandlin is the pinnacle of all these traits. I can’t speak highly enough regarding the outstanding se...rvice I received from Sandlin Family Law Firm. Before meeting/retaining Debbie Sandlin, I was broke with less hopes even though I was truthful and honest. But after meeting her my hopelessness was replaced by Optimism and affirmation. Debbie Sandlin and Lisa Kamrachik were kind to me and gave me emotional support and confidence, they made me feel that my case was their top priority. Debbie Sandlin is a thorough professional both with in and outside the Court. Sandlin family law firm is one of the most honest and truthful lawfirm I have ever come across. Debbie Sandlin and Lisa Kamarchik were always attentive and diligent to what I say. Debbie understood my case more than anyone would have. I was amazed to know that she remembered each and every date of important events and incidents in my marital life. I was very impressed by the prompt responses to my phone calls or emails, and always updated me with the new developments if any. She is well prepared and well organized for the Court appearances, either it may be facts, providing right evidences at the right time and cross examinations or the legal knowledge and citations. Debbie Sandlin and Lisa Kamarchik worked tirelessly with dedication and passion on my case. With the efforts of Debbie and Lisa we came up handsomely victorious. I can’t thank them enough for making a diffcult time in my life, easier to handle. Debbie Sandlin and Lisa Kamarchik has been such a great lawyers, I would go as far as saying, they are the best in the Triangle area. No wonder that Debbie Sandlin is being the Superlawyer of North Carolina for the last few years now. And I was not surprised when Lisa Kamrachik received the Young lawyer of the year award recently. Hiring Debbie Sandlin and her law firm was one of the best decision God made for me. It was my privilege and honor to be represented by Sandlin Family Law firm. I would strong;y recommend and vouch for Debbie Sandlin, Lisa Kamarchik and their law firm.
