Took 1500.00 And Did Nothing 2

She took 1000.00 retainer plus another 500.00 afterwards and from that point on failed to review evidence and keep me informed. She always has the same excuses for failing her clients refusing to perform what she was paid to do. Sherry Sandler is not honest and cares only about paper chasing after mo...ney. She appears at that initial consultation like she cares about you and defending you but once she gets your money all of that is over and her real self starts to show. I would not recommend anyone to her.

Unfortunately, sometimes when we are retained, the issues are they are relayed by our clients are not substantiated by the evidence later provided. While this individual doesn't indicate who they are, or their situation, and I do not wish to harm anyone's confidentiality, whenever I am retained, I review all available documents, and I try to do what is in the best interests of my client--that is all any attorney can do. It is important for any individual who retains an attorney to be truthful and provide full information; otherwise, many hours are spent going down the wrong path.

Legal Excellence

Sharry Sandler is very kind and compassionate. We were very comfortable with her and she handled our case perfectly for our situation.

Posted by Andrew | January 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Foreclosure

knowledge and experience

I was facing a foreclosure on my home and harassment from my creditors so I consulted Ms. Sandler to discuss my options. She quickly diagnosed my situation and came up with a plan to make me solvent. I immediately felt less stress and wish I had consulted with her earlier. I would recommend someone i...n debt to see her sooner rather than later.

Great professional service

Ms. Sandler handled my case swiftly and professionally. I consulted with her initially after an auto accident. She made sure I was able to get the care I needed and was able to settle my case out of court. I have, and will continue to refer anyone needing a professional, competent attorney to Ms. S...andler's office.

Avoid her at all costs!

Absolutely DO NOT use this attorney. Not only was I not provided regular statements, received poor to no communication, very poor response turnaround times, various PERSONAL excuses for each failure on her part.

While I can't respond to this specific situation, in April of 2013 when this was written, I had recently spent some time in the hospital after a miscarriage. I prefer not to post personal information, but all of my clients with pressing matters were informed as a courtesy because I felt that they deserved to know why I was unavailable, and to be given the opportunity to seek alternate help in the event they felt their matters could not wait. I will always be straightforward with my clients about my abilities to handle a matter because it is their right to know whom they have hired. I will not apologize for personal interference as it is very rare and never an excuse, only an explanation.

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.
