My first attorney represented me in family court. I paid over $7,000 and got nowhere! My brother recommended Sandra Spennato so I cut ties with the 1st attorney, collected my files and started again from scratch with Sandra. Immediately, she listened to my current situation, listened to my goals, and put together a custom plan while also managing my expectations on what is realistic in the eyes of NY law. 1st thing she did was a discovery phase (which my former attorney NEVER did) looking at my ex's bank records which put us in a favorable position. She fought hard and in much less than a year (**during COVID**) we had the terms agreed to involving my daughter and my finances. If only I had been introduced to her in the first place, would have been A LOT less stress, a lot less time, and a lot less money wasted. I truly understand the importance of having a smart savvy deal maker that knows the laws inside and out in my corner. Without hesitance, I wholeheartedly recommend Sandra.

I hired Sandra Spennato to help me obtain custody of my son. She is very knowledgeable and also quite the tactician. Sandra did not sell me a dream and false hope. She told me the cold hard truth every time we met and that is what I need. I have experienced lawyers that have sold me false truths and have only been interested in draining my wallet dry. She is nothing like that. I have never met a more understanding and passionate attorney. She understood the circumstances I was faced with in my case and she helped keep my emotions in check. I had to swallow a few hard pills but Sandra always made it tolerable after explaining why swallowing those pills could work in our favor. She has been right so far and I will continue to trust her advise and her knowledge of the law. We’re still working on my case but I trust in Sandra to help me keep fighting for what I hold most dear. MY SON! I’m thankful to have her on my side.

I was very fortunate to have Sandra on my case. I had a custody case with my son’s father. In the beginning of this case i had no education about the legalities when it comes to custody but Sandra helped me through it all, explained every single detail to me until I was able to understand it and to make a wise decision. She was very helpful, caring and informative. Sandra made it her business to fight for me and made sure I was happy and comfortable with the outcome. With Sandra we prevailed and came to an agreement with my case.

Divorce can be unsettling and combative experience that will surely test your resolve and your ability to control emotions. I hired Sandra Spennato at a time when I sorely needed help in my separation. Sandra leaded me through the process with confidence and honesty. I didn't always like what I heard but I knew the information was genuine and delivered to help me reach a resolution. Her knowledge of the law and her ability to talk me through the process made all the difference. I was lucky enough to be referred to her and I will certainly refer others to her in the future.
