    Sanford Schulman was highly recommended by my mother in California. I already hired an attorney but my mother was so adamant about switching attorneys that I had to do it. Sanford made all the difference in the world. He was explaining things so that we were able to understand. My 19 year old son was charged with a serious weapons charge. We live in Oakland county and he was accused of having a modified weapon. Sanford was honest and let us know that there was a big chance my son would do jail time on his first adult offense because they don't play around with modified weapons. We listened to every instruction he gave us. He referred us to experts and kept in touch with us weekly for updates and he treated my son like a person and showed him respect which was a problem with our last attorney so my son felt very confident and comfortable with Sanford. In the end he received probation from one of the toughest judges in Oakland County if not THE toughest. I truly believe that if we would not have switched attorneys to Sanford Schulman the outcome would not have been the same. He was given HYDA. I wouldn't use anyone else in any type of criminal matter ever again. Thank you Sanford Schulman for you r dedication and professionalism. We couldn't have done it without you!

    I don't even know where to start, but if you are facing serious federal time and need someone who truly knows what they're doing, Sanford Schulman is the attorney you want in your corner. When I was staring down a possible 10-year sentence, I was terrified. This wasn't a small situation — this was life-changing. From day one, Mr. Schulman was professional, knowledgeable, and strategic. He didn't just treat my case like another file on his desk. He took the time to understand the details, the circumstances, and who I am as a person. What stood out most was his confidence and experience in federal court. He was honest with me about the risks & realistic about the possibilities, He knew the law, he knew the system, and he knew how to present my situation in a way that mattered. Because of his work, what could have been 10 years turned into time served. Time served. That outcome changed my life and gave me a second chance. If you are in serious legal trouble and need someone who is sharp, respected, and truly fights for you, I highly recommend Sanford Schulman. I am beyond grateful for his dedication and the result he secured for me. Forever thankful.

    I can't thank Sanford enough for what he did for me. I was going through a really stressful situation and didn't know what was going to happen, but he stayed calm and helped guide me the whole way through. He really knows what he's doing and handled everything the right way. Because of him, my case ended up getting reduced to a misdemeanor with no jail time, and no restitution. That's something I'll always be grateful for. If you're going through something serious and need someone who knows how to handle it, I would definitely recommend Sanford.

Going through a legal matter is stressful, but having an attorney who genuinely cares and advocates for you makes all the difference. His experience and dedication gave me confidence during a very difficult time. If you're looking for an attorney who is responsive, compassionate, and will work hard on your behalf, I highly recommend Mr. Schulman. Thank you again for your guidance and representation.

    Great Attorneys. A special thank you to Attorney Sanford for dedicating his time and knowledge of the law on our cases. Great attorney who handled our case with professionalism, great communication, and strong attention to detail. Even when with our repetitive questions, Attorney Sanford did not shy away from answering them for better clarification. Thanks to Attorney Yvette and Attorney Sterling as well for supporting us and handling our cases along the way. While we considered going to trial, they helped us choose a practical resolution that avoided unnecessary time and stress. I'm satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend their services.
