He took the case for my 14 year old son many years ago. Family court issue. Criminal and burglary charges. He proved my son was innocent of all charges. He provided a refund of monies he didn’t use. Which I found to be incredibly. I believe he is an honest and decent person to hire.

On a pro bono basis, Mr. Sandak represented me in both Family Court, for support and custody, and Traffic Court during the fall of 2011. All outcomes exceeded my hopes. He provided me with copies of all letters and petitions prior to their being submitted, he provided me with all available strategies we could pursue and made sure I was comfortable with adopted legal approaches prior to moving forward. Where-ever I lost documents, Mr. Sandak always had retained a copy when needed, he was always early, organized, thorough, patient, and available for my questions. He knew the CPLR in detail and overcame a process service obstacle efficiently. On behalf of my children and myself, Thank You!

Miss Mcsparron readily explained the challenges and strong points of the case to me.She really helped me to understand all of the legal points .Not once did she speak down to me.So many times, it seems , when speaking to an Attorney, they assume regular people simply would not understand much of the legal jargon.This obviously very considerate and caring Lady, truly took the time to patiently make sure I had all of the facts.Even making sure and going the extra steps to be sure my case had a much better outcome than I even hoped for.

Jim will spend whatever time is necessary to evaluate your case and explain the process to you. He is tenacious and the insurance companies fear him. He is not afraid to take your case to trial if the doctor's insurance company won't pay what he thinks they should. He will invest the necessary time and money to win your case. He and his law partner Charlene, (who has a medical background), make an incredible team at trial. It's no surprise that Jim has been named one of the top 10 best litigators.

Great lawyer. This man saved my life. Represented me back in 2006 for an aggravated assault. He advised me to plea ngi (not guilty be reason of insanity). After having an evaluation it was found I suffered from some very serious diagnosis' and needed help.
