The very best attorney out there!

Sandy Bayne is an exceptional professional. She provided outstanding assistance and went above and beyond in her efforts. When my health situation became critical, she advocated on my behalf with my insurance provider, United Healthcare, and was able to secure coverage for over $300,000 in medical ex...penses after my appeals had been denied. During a life-threatening medical emergency requiring urgent heart surgery, the insurance company initially refused to acknowledge the recommendations of my cardiologist. However, Sandy intervened and effectively represented my interests, demonstrating genuine concern for my well-being. Her dedication and persistence made a significant difference, turning my outlook from dire to hopeful. I am deeply grateful for her support and the positive impact she had on my family’s situation. Her hard work exemplifies what it means to truly care for clients. Thank you, Sandy!

Not Recommended

Not Recommended! I told Sandy in our phone conversation what I wanted in an attorney but she became defensive like I was trying to insult her, when rather I was talking about a hypothetical plus my own past experience dealing with attorneys . ​ Further, she did not honor her commitment to follow up ...with the documents I sent her. I am sure there are better lawyers for people to consider.

Fast Results

Sandy was able to step in and represent us regarding a long term insurance denial for my elderly mother. Sandy jumped right on the case, even corresponding while on vacation. In a short time, my mother’s policy was reinstated and we received much needed back pay. Couldn’t have done it without her.

Excellent Representation

I hired Sandy Bayne to help me with a time-sensitive assisted living situation with my mother. Ms. Bayne was very responsive throughout the process and we were able to achieve our goal. Ms. Bayne has a great deal of expertise and provided excellent representation. I highly recommend Sandy Bayne.

Amazing and conscientious lawyer!

After several years of back and forth with my travel insurer who was denying my claim for expensive but necessary air evacuation services in a foreign country, I was unable to find resolution -- so I engaged Sandy's help. She dug right into the case, quickly created the necessary leverage for us and ...then brought all parties to the table, ultimately leading to a great resolution. She works quickly, yet she's thorough; she's highly responsive, but always thoughtful, and above all, Sandy is a partner who truly cares about your situation and works with diligence to solve your case.

I am so glad we forced the insurance company to commit to their contractual obligation. It was a pleasure representing you.

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.
