Wholeheartedly, our family was very pleased with the law services Toni Sandin and Sandin Law provided us in many ways. We, as most families, needed help with estate planning, business transaction, transfer of wealth and health directives. She recommended a Revocable Family Trust. This helped with income and legal protection, as well as, future equal transfer of assets to our daughter’s families and designated non-profits we have supported for years. Around this same time we made the decision to have a retirement and business transfer. Toni represented ALL parties involved and was highly respected by all for her knowledge and professionalism. We were very pleased with her assistance with all these transactions. We consider Toni Sandin a friend, but as important, as an attorney and Sandin Law are wholeheartedly highly recommended by all.

Working with Sandin Law / Toni on our family estate planning was a wonderful experience! Her Team is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, thorough and provided a straightforward checklist of items to check off to complete our estate planning process. We appreciate the continuity and updates they provide as well post-planning. We highly recommend!

We were in need of updating our will and needing an estate plan. Our experience with Sandin Law was very easy and relaxed. Most people needing an Estate Plan, Will and Living Will really don’t know what the family, tax and legal pitfalls are and that may come into play. Sandin Law and staff were very knowledgeable and helpful as they counseled us on what would be the best path forward for our family. We felt so relieved to get this taken care of and are so happy we chose Sandin Law.

We were very pleased with process and the work done by Toni Sandin and her professional staff. She did a wonderful job of walking us through the process and answering our questions. We met several times and signed our Revocable Trust documents within two weeks of the initial consultation. Would highly recommend Toni and the Sandin Law Office!!

Toni and her team are my go-to for business planning. Most recently, we consulted with them about splitting off a business line into its own entity. Toni made recommendations on how to best do that and took care of all the paperwork making the process simple for us.

Toni and her team were awesome. They did a great job listening to our family's wishes and then advising us on the best way to achieve what we were looking for in our estate planning. I definitely found the process to be more pleasant than I thought it might be and am glad we chose to work with her.

Toni was great to work with from beginning to end! I spent a lot of time looking for the right lawyer to handle a variety of business planning services and in doing research and talking to a number of options, it was very clear that that Toni had the experience and expertise I needed. Toni and the rest of her staff made the whole process very easy and handled everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great lawyer!
