About Jillian
Biography
I never aspired to be a lawyer growing up and probably would have laughed if you told me that one day I would become one. But the law found its way to me. After being laid off from my retail management job during the recession, I experienced financial problems and I got sued by a debt buyer claiming I owed money on an old credit card debt. I disagreed.
I litigated the lawsuit on my own and discovered that the legal process fascinated me, and this newly found passion led the way to successfully defending my case. After the conclusion of my case, I went on to graduate from Kennesaw State with a Paralegal Certificate with Honors. I then worked for several years for an attorney who handled a variety of cases, including consumer debt collection lawsuit defense cases and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) cases. As a paralegal for a trial attorney, I learned firsthand how to prepare cases for trial. While working full time as a paralegal, I enrolled in the part-time evening program at Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, where I graduated as Valedictorian of my law school class. In law school, I practiced under the Student Practice Act in Superior Courts of DeKalb County defending felony criminal cases, which provided the unique opportunity to prepare cases for trial from a criminal law point of view.
Today, I am proud to be an attorney who protects Georgians against deceptive and abusive business practices.

Simply Awesome!
I am blessed to have found, consulted with and hired Jill Sandt. From the beginning she put me at ease regarding the suit papers that I received. She immediately began work on my case. And I was blown away when she called me, not long after she started, to advise that she was able to get the cased di...

Well done!
My goodness! I am so excited. Great job Ms Sandt! I was kept updated on the process and the outcome was so much more than expected. Ms Sandt accomplished what she said she would and I am more than happy and satisfied.

Great experience!
I received suit papers from a debt collector. They purchased my debt from a credit card I didn’t even remember I had. They were asking for me to pay an outrageous debt, plus their cost of court and other legal fees. I received an advertisement letter from Jillian’s firm and gave her a call. Within ...

Jillian Sandt's Lawyer Endorsements
"I knew Ms. Sandt when she worked as a paralegal for another firm. She knew her stuff as a paralegal, and worked hard to help the attorneys she worked for serve their clients well. Since then I have had many shop-talk conversations with her about law and practice, and I have always found her to be incredibly knowledgeable, hard working, and focused on putting clients first. I highly recommend Ms. Sandt; I have no doubt she will be an excellent advocate for her clients."
"Jill is a true advocate. When she sinks her teeth into something, she is determined to become the most expert person in the room. This tenacity shows in her work product and benefits those clients lucky enough to have her represent them. I'm honored to consider her not just a colleague, but a friend."
"Jillian possesses a keen legal mind combined with attention to detail, legal strategizing, passion, and caring for clients. As Valedictorian of her law school class, she has proven her legal prowess. Her courtroom experience demonstrates her willingness to fight for justice and protect her clients to the fullest extent of the law."
"I have known Jill for several years. She is always thoughtful and well-prepared. She is a fantastic attorney."
"I cannot recommend Jillian enough. I first met her when she was a paralegal for an A+ trial attorney in metro Atlanta. Before she became an attorney, she represented herself (and won) a small claims case against a licensed lawyer which is incredibly rare. Just goes to show how sharp she is. While she was in law school (and becoming valedictorian of her law school class), I hired her for countless research, drafting, and marketing projects. She is an A+ person and teammate. She hardworking and passionate about the law and helping people."
