Sons case

Mr Schulman was very respectful and very easy to talk to made himself available when ever I needed to talk. He helped my son in a crimmnal case and I was very satisfied with how He handle this case and if I ever need an attorney (which I pray i never do) I would definitely call Mr. Schulman to help... me. Thank you so very much you compassion and helpfulness I will always be grateful for.

SANFORD THE ATTORNEY YOU CAN TRUST

SANFORD SCHULMAN CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. MY LEGAL MATTER WAS COMPLEX, AND COMPLICATED. OTHER ATTORNEYS TRIED AND FAILED. SANDFORD PROVIDED THE TIME NEEDED TO REACH THE DESIRED OUTCOME. SANDFORD WAS AVAILABLE TO US OFTEN AFTER REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS. HE DISPLAYED PHENOMENAL EXPERTISE. AT THE ...MOST STRESSFUL TIMES IN OUR LIVES HIS PROFESSIONALISM AND KNOWLEDGE WAS TOTALLY REASSURING. SANFORD CARES!! HE APPROACHED OUR LEGAL ISSUES WITH GENUINE CONCERN, AND RESPECT. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO SANFORD FOR FIGHTING ALL THE WAY. IT WAS NOT EASY, BUT HE WORKED HARD AND STOOD FOR US. BECAUSE HE WAS ON OUR SIDE WE WON!! UNLIKE MANY OTHER ATTORNEYS HE WONT LET YOU DOWN!!

Hire Sanford Schulman - he is the best of the best.

Sanford Schulman handled a very important case for me. I didn't know how to feel or what to do. He took decisive action and pointed me on a clear path to get resolution. He did not waste words or time. Sanford is a strong attorney. I trust him.

Highly recommend top laywer

The best place to get any kind of divorce done period. Mr. Schulman is fast and the price is very reasonable. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I had a very complicated divorce case, I reside in Toronto while the case had been in Michigan. During court hearing I had a very dif...ficult time commuting, so Mr Schulman was able to move jurisdiction to Toronto after determination and hard work. I asked many other lawyers before I hired him and they all stated that it would be close to impossible, but he made the impossible happen. As such Mr. Schulman is a laywer I would HIGHLY recommend.

Criminal

He is a very straight forward lawyer, he will let you know what is the rt choice. I was scared to death, but after his advise and help I'm home with my family. He took my families feelings into consideration along with my own. I would advise mr. Shulman, to anyone.

Avvo Rating

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.
