Phenomenal Lawyer

Mr Wallack helped me get something removed from my record. It was something from the past that always haunted me. He was able to get it off. He kept in touch with me as needed and was very responsive and respectful when we spoke. I truly appreciate all his hard work.

Sandy is a phenomenal lawyer. He helped me and my fiancé navigate the painful Fulton Courts and got us a good outcome. We are still working with him. He tends to details thoroughly and is very responsive and helpful with all questions. My future in laws and I are eternally grateful for his work. This was all during the pandemic also!

Client

Sandy is a lifesaver! He went above and beyond to help me. Watching him work in the courtroom is inspiring. Attorney Wallack went toe-to-toe with an aggressive and effective DA. He outperformed her. He prepared several motions. I thought to myself, "This guy is the real deal." Afterwards, I felt I knew more about law than the average human being. He does his homework. In addition, his style is to give you options. He prepared me for each option with realistic outcomes. I felt like I had an opportunity to participate in my own defense. After the case was dismissed, Attorney "Sandy" Wallack immediately began working to seal the records. He was truly a blessing to me.
