About Sandra

Welcome to my profile! Some of the answers to questions you may have in your search for an attorney may be found here, but I find that the best way to get results is through personal contact. Feel free to call my office to discuss any questions you may have, and I will do my utmost to serve you.

As a Family Law attorney, it is my duty and honor to assist my clients with their relationship issues, custody, visitation and support schedules, division of property and the like.  But the intangibles of a family's needs are just as, if not more, important in the long run, and I appreciate my role in those processes as well.

 

I made a choice to practise in this area of the law, despite the stresses that come along with the territory. I invite you to contact me to see if I can assist you through what I know is a most difficult time, and wish you all the best in whatever course you take.

Review Sandra Munoz

Shrewd & knowledgeable

Posted by mindyTue Nov 16 2010

While Sandra knows her law well enough, her people skills are lacking. She added antagonism & mistrust to an already volatile situation and caused a solveable situation to deteriorate into an emotional catastrophe for my daughter,

Sandra Munoz Harlow "The Best In The West" or "The Saint" Take Your Pick !

Posted by GregWed Jul 21 2010

Sandra helped me out of one tough time in my life, she was a good friend and a excellent lawyer. She took on a well funded and experinced adversery (actually "Attorney of the year 2007" SoCal Bar Assoc.) and prevailed. She was always helping me keep my emotions under check with here good common sense outlook on life. I plan on having Sandra as a friend for a long time.
