Trust Is Key

It is very stressful these days when you find yourself needing to hire a lawyer. If you are rich and successful this could be a time of nightmares because for some lawyers, it no longer becomes profitable to solve your problems quick. Sanford Schulman is a highly experienced and well liked lawyer.... He will cut to the chase and solve your problems quickly and in my case quite successfully I have recommended him to close family and friends and each and everyone got the best outcomes possible. Sanford Schulman is a lawyer you can trust!

Mr. Schulman got me the results I was looking for!

I had an outstanding felony gun case that was 11 years old that I desperately needed to resolve. I hired Mr. Schulman to represent me and help me too finally get this matter behind me so that I could move forward with my life and pursue getting my Marine Engineer's License. From the beginning to the... end, Mr. Schulman was straight forward and honest with me about my case and what he'll be able to do for me. He stayed in contact with me and replied back to any messages I may have sent. He not only kelp me from going to jail but we're in the process of getting the case dismissed! I would definitely recommend Mr. Shulman if you need a good, experienced attorney.

Sanford Schulman- the best lawyer ever

I contacted Mr Shulman on behalf of a close family member that was encouraged to reach out to him. Mr. Schulman immediately took the case and was able to help him. What really stands out is that this member found himself in trouble again, and rather than chastise us, he went to bat for us. He has ...a good instinct and worked hard to represent him. He continues to be a trustworthy representative of the law. I do not live in Michigan and I had to rely on someone I've never met, but I trust him and he has never let me down.

A lawyer that can do it all

I have utilized the services of Sanford Schulman on multiple occasions. I have used him for civil lawsuits that arose in my businesses. I have used him for negotiations with federal government with regards violations of Federal Regulations and I have also used him for estate planning purposes. Mr. Sc...hulman is a lawyer that can do it all which is especially important in this day and age where most lawyers are so specialized in certain areas of the law that one sometimes has to utilize different lawyers for different problems.

Representation

Mr. Schulman was dedicated to us as clients. He answered all our questions and always kept us updated. He saved our family business and we will always be grateful to him. He's very knowledgeable and in and out of the courts daily. My family would refer him to anyone who was in need of a smart and cap...able attorney.

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.
