I Would Recommend Them Without Reservation
“Working with the entire team at Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight made a truly terrible time in my life more bearable. I always felt that the team was ‘on my side’ and gave sound advice with alacrity, expertise, and even humor to help me protect myself and my family in the face of injustice. I would recommend them without reservation.” – Former Client
