Do not hire

Sandra did not handle my case in a through, professional manner. Sandra gave me a dollar amount that would get us through mediation, I paid double knowing we would end up in court. Pretrial precedes mediation. Less than 12 hours before pre-trial, Sandra emailed me telling me to find a new lawyer. She... provided no reason. Pre-trial is not necessary if all documents are efiled; she did not do this. I later found out she was drunk and had legal issues of her own.

Worst Family Law Attorney

Sandra never responded on time to our needs or requests. She didn't deliver anything she promised. She sent bills for services that were not even provided and could not explain anything she had billed when asked. Not to mention Sandra got her THIRD DUI the day after our trial. How professional. W...ORST FAMILY LAW LAWYER - WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE.

Client Review

sandra went above and beyond for my family. she is very busy but always made me feel like our case was the most important one. i had not seen my child in six months and when I hired sandra i was reunited within three weeks. i would highly recommend sandra for any family.

Sandra will not stop until she gets the results you are looking for..

Going through a nasty divorce and child custody case. I have used several attorneys trying to fight my ex husbands mindless abuse of our court system, my children and I. Finally found someone who had a strong compassionate voice and fights for her clients. I have never seen anything so amazing in my ...life. She has helped our family and I will never be able to repay her for what she has accomplished. Forever grateful..

Excellent, professional attorney

Sandra is a very skilled attorney passionate about advocating for the legal rights of her clients. She is attentive and kept me in the loop every step of the way with my case.
