We recently worked with Schulman and his team, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and outcome. From the moment they were retained, Schulman and his team—including investigator Michael Lynch—went above and beyond to get to the bottom of our issue. They kept us informed every step of the way, which was incredibly reassuring since we were unfamiliar with the process. Schulman’s deep knowledge of the Wayne County court system was key in his ability to work with the prosecution for the best possible outcome. We are grateful to Schulman and team for their work getting us through this difficult time and process. If you have a case in Wayne County, I don’t think there is a better or more capable defense team out there, and we can’t recommend them enough!
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!
My lawyer did an excellent job handling my case. They were professional, knowledgeable, and always kept me informed every step of the way. They truly cared about getting the best outcome for me and fought hard to make it happen. I’m very satisfied with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a dedicated and skilled attorney.
I had an outstanding experience with Mr. Schulman. He is truly the best lawyer I've ever worked with and the least expensive. He goes above and beyond, treating every case personally and fighting hard every step of the way. Thanks to his dedication, my case was completely dismissed. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation! 5 stars!
I cannot thank Sanford A Schulman enough for the outstanding representation and unwavering support he provided to my husband and our family. From the very beginning, he showed compassion, professionalism, and deep legal knowledge. He took the time to truly understand our situation and fought tirelessly with integrity and skill. What stood out most was his dedication—not just to the case, but to us as people. He kept us informed, empowered us with honest advice, and never made us feel like just another case. His confidence, calmness under pressure, and strategic thinking gave us hope even in the most difficult moments. Because of his hard work and belief in justice, we were able to find peace and a path forward. We will forever be grateful. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will treat your case like it truly matters—this is the one. Thank you again for everything.
