Former Client

Happy with My Decision

“The best decision I made was hiring Sanford Heisler Sharp. Danielle Fuschetti and David McNamee are incredible. They are empathetic, thorough, capable of handling complexity with ease, and able to take on aggressive opposing counsel. Who you pick as your lawyer is critical, and I am so happy with my decision.”
