We had a very scary situation with our land contract home where we lived happily for almost 10 years. Then we had our happiness turned upside down. We felt threatened, worried and felt our home was going to be taken away from us without any explanation that made logical sense. We immediately started looking for a lawyer to represent us. I spent several hours making calls. I called Metro Detroit Bankruptcy Law Group and got in touch with Mr Sandweiss. He told me that he was going to be in the Westland area that afternoon and we could meet. Our home is in Garden City. That afternoon Mr Sandweiss & I met and he took the time to look over all the documents I had at that time and explain them to me so i could understand what was happening and what rights we had. He was extremely kind and understanding and truly understood how terrified I was. After our meeting he gave me advice on what to do and to give him a call if we needed him. We needed him. Over the last few years Mr Sandweiss has represented us in our case in Garden City Mi & in Detroit Mi. We decided to hire Mr Sandweiss because his mannerisms and he isn’t afraid fight for what is right. He sticks to the law and he knows his law extremely well. His dedication for his clients is incredible. Mr Sandweiss gave me a feeling of hope and confidence, he gave me a feeling of security that we were not going to have our home ripped away from us. Mr Sandweiss became our beacon of hope, our ray of light.He made me feel like I am a riser, a survivor of the fire. I spent many hours in the court room with Mr Sandweiss, he does not back down, he stands up and fights for what is right. I have learned a lot over this nightmare we have been living in. I thank God every day for putting Mr Sandweiss in our path. Without him, I truly don’t know what would have happened to our situation. Thanks to Mr Sandweiss, I have that confidence and feeling of safety back. I also feel like we gained an extended family member. We will forever be grateful for everything that he has done for us and no amount of start will ever be enough. He truly is amazing lawyer. We ever need a lawyer in the future I won’t hesitate to think to call, Mr Sandweiss ! THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS MR SANDWEISS! Words can not express how greatly appreciative we are of you!!! 5 stars is just not enough for Mr Sandweiss!! He goes above and beyond for his clients!
My husband and I hired Mr Sandweiss, to help us with a very scary issue ,we were being sued for something that wasn’t our fault, we were worried we were going to lose everything we worked hard for.

He actually took the time to meet with us, go over our paperwork and broke it down to us so we could understand.He pointed out things in our case we did not know was there. Mr Sandweiss fights for what is right. He reassured, double and triple reassured us on everything. Mr Sandweiss fights for what is right. He is a fantastic lawyer and person to work with.

Stuart was heaven sent! He keeps you updated, very easy to work with- explains things in layman's terms. Very knowledgeable, knows the law(s) & doesn't play around- He will fight for you and what is right! I would tell anyone to hire him! My husband & I hired Stuart for criminal charges against us, with little time before we we due in court- Stuart took our case & got our case dismissed!!! He was a pleasure to work with & I would not think using another attorney - Stuart is our attorney from here on out! We HIGHLY recommend him & cannot express enough how amazing this man truly is!
I highly recommend Mr. Stuart Sandweiss’s expert legal services. Several years ago, I was involved in an auto accident and received multiple tickets. Mr. Sandweiss was able to get all of the points waived and reduce my total ticket amount to $175. Recently, I had a problem with fraudulent fees and interest charges on my Home Depot credit card. Again, Mr. Sandweiss stepped in and promptly resolved the issue. I have found Mr. Sandweiss to be extremely knowledgeable, courteous and honest (which can be hard to come by in this profession!).
An IRS agent threatened to put me in jail claiming I owed $120,000 in income taxes and penalties. I hired Mr. Sandweiss and he got the whole mess settled saving me over $100K without criminal charges. Outstanding!!!
I worked with Stuart on two different cases and he did an outstanding job.
