Hire Sandy Burney With Confidence!

Sandy Burney assisted me by negotiating a settlement on a very high credit card balance with a very aggressive creditor who decided to sue me. Hoping my 20-year relationship in good standing with the company would factor into the possibility of working out an arrangement, I attempted to negotiate wi...th the company on my own in vain. I was referred to Sandy by a family member and was very impressed upon my first encounter and throughout the experience of working with her. She immediately struck me as an astute, very knowledgable expert in her subject matter. Sandy's assessment of my situation was extremely accurate, allowing her to provide me a variety of relevant options and guidance in the form of clearly and concisely explained ramifications of those options. On my behalf, Sandy was able to do what I could not: 1) Negotiate a settlement that is financially feasible for me and 2) Get the creditor to drop the case. An enormous weight has been lifted thanks to her excellent and efficient guidance, assistance and representation. Sandy Burney is a consummate professional. When you hire her, you can be confident that you are in very, very good hands!

Gets the job done!

Sandy is a fantastic attorney with great character, integrity and results oriented. She fights for what you deserve with loyalty and tenacity. She gets the job done and her honesty and straight forwardness lets you know right away that she means business. Sandy helped me with my divorce and the resu...lts were phenomenal.

Pleasantly Surprised

Unfortunately, attorneys tend to receive bad raps that are often times unwarranted. In the case of Attorney Burney, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she was very helpful, professional, and on top of things from beginning to end. While handling my Chapter 13 case, there was never a time when... my calls, emails, or texts were not returned promptly. She was always on time for appointments and court appearances. More importantly, she represented me well. I strongly recommend Sandy Burney as a Bankruptcy Attorney to anyone looking for quality service.

Professional, Knowledgeable and Patient

Ms. Burney handled my estate planning and I can say how pleased I am with how professional and patient she was with me. She completely educated me on how to prepare my trust and will. She was very patient with me gathering documents and was available to answer all my questions. I highly recommend con...tacting Ms. Burney if you have any estate or family law needs. I am proud to have such a professional on my side.

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.
