Posted by Jason | May 15, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Hire Mr. Sanfield unless you enjoy having a criminal record and paying the courts

Just got my felon expunged, and he made it look so easy. I wish I would've hired him for my original charge. He knew every one, only had to go to court once to settle the matter, and most important the decision was in my favor. Your going to pay the courts or a lawyer, might as well get one that will... win!!

Posted by Shannon | March 24, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Made my life easy

I was a little nervous about filing for divorce and the cost of this process. Mr. Sanfield asked me a few questions about my situation and handled it from there. There was great communication about what was going on as the case progressed and I felt very comfortable walking into my scheduled court da...te. I was worry free the whole time and anytime I had a question it was answered right away. The pricing was extremely fair from what I have heard about other divorce attorneys. I feel if I were ever to need any more legal help he would be the man I go talk to.

Beat Secretary of State for me!

I've used him in the past for minor things such as moving violations, he always got me off with no points on my record, so when I got into a bad situation I hired him and beat the system and he did hands down thee best around !

Freedom is price less

Where do I start , I've had a 20 year relationship with Gary sanfield and has made me feel like I was family over the years .. I've never had a case where I was disappointed and he's always went the extra mile for me . Answered all my questions , was always there when I needed him and ALWAYS made me ...feel at ease !! I can remember the first time he represented me I was a wreck when I came into his office , with tears in my eyes and butter flies in my stomach he assured me that everything was gonna be ok and that he would take care of it . After hearing my results and seeing the hard work he put in for me I new I had the right attorney and every since then when I walk into his office I have a totally different attitude and no longer worry knowing he's in my corner !! Over the years I've accured many cases and every one of them have had proven results .. I highly recommend Gary r sanfield to anyone that' accurers a case and cares about there freedom or record ..

A lawyer with over 38 years of experience that fought for my freedom.

As a Junior college student looking to graduate, I was scared, anxious, and not wanting to go back to jail facing my second OWI offense as well as a second DWLS charge. With that being said, I have had a few different lawyers in the past (none of which fought and reduced the anxiety of all of it as ...Gary). Gary went into these cases not afraid to win by connecting on a personal, professional, and real level through this terrible and extremely scary and anxiety inducing time. In the state of Michigan, OWI and DWLS offenses (1st and 2nd offenses) are tough, if there was one lawyer you could trust it would be from Gary R. Sanfield. (I would list 3rd but this was my second) I could not say it any further, if you are looking for a lawyer that has had 38 years of experience go with Gary R. Sanfield.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"38 years of practicing crimimal law is what we refer to as extremely experienced. Gary's knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions here. Perhaps the greatest compliment is from his clients by way of their client reviews. READ THEM! Clients are the real judge of an attorneys worth and their numerous reviews are 5 star and stellar. Endorsements from peer attorneys are also outstanding. If you or a loved are in need of help give Gary a call for a consultation. If you are lucky he might just agree to represent you."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Gary is an amazing attorney who is a wealth of knowledge. I have personally watched him stand up to judges who are wrong in their rulings only to have the judge eventually back down because they knew Gary's arguments were actually spot on. It takes a special lawyer to do that. Gary does not back down."

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.
