Great Lawyer!

Sandy was extremely knowledgeable and well informed. He understood the personality of the judge and how to work with him. It was a very difficult multiple DUI case and the out come was much better then expected. I highly recommend Sandy for your legal needs in Ventura County.

  • 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.
