Dont Hire This Attorney

This lawyer and her associate were unprofessional and always unprepared. Never new anything that was going on with my workman's comp case. Sandra Sands sent an inexperience, unprepared attorned to my workman's comp hearing who didnt know what was going on with my case and couldnt even answer the ju...dge's first question he asked him. As a result I have had to hire another attorney to as he stated "clean up their mess". The new wouldnt say anything about this attorned, he just rolled his eyes when he heard who it was which is all I needed to know. YOU BEING WARNED, DO YOUR HOMEWORK, BUT DONT HIRE THIS FIRM
