Sandy may handle a lot of cases as other lawyers do, but unlike those other lawyers, she will actually pay attention to and remember the details of your case. She is also really good at math and with financials. If a family lawyer isn’t good at those things, it can dramatically increase the costs of a divorce in a way that can affect you for years.

Sandi is a fabulous attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and empathetic. She worked diligently to thoroughly review the details of my case. Sandi listened carefully to my story. She clarified information and put me at ease at a very stressful time in my life. I highly recommend this practice.

I hired Sandra and Rachel for a divorce matter and not only were they well organized but very thorough. When the ball was dropped on the other end, Sandra stepped in to resolve the matter prudently and I didn’t have to get involved at all. I have not only hired them myself but have since recommended numerous others to their practice who have all been extremely happy with their services. Highly professional group of attorneys that are truly on your side.

Sandi joined my divorce case a bit into the process. She got up to speed quickly and continued with that intensity through to the end. I appreciated her candor and willingness to let me navigate the financial aspects of the discovery process. I absolutely felt like part of my legal team rather than a bystander. Sandi has a great ability to see all the sides of a situation and consider them, even when they weren't in my favor. I had input in every decision.

Amazing attorney who really listened to what I wanted but also educated me on the law and what was permissible. Great at coming up with various solutions and extremely level-headed. Worked well with opposing counsel to not make any situation worse. Truly knowledgeable and top notch!
