What Customers Say

My Family used Richard several times he is the best. I recommend him to all my friends

Kirk Seer

Rick did our wills he was very easy to talk with and down to earth. I worked for lawyers many years ago and some of the lawyers made me feel like a nobody. When I told my Dad he said Kathy they are no better then you they put their pants on one leg at a time. He never made us feel uncomfortable.

Kathleen Mikula

Rick was my divorce lawyer and was amazing. He made me feel as though I was his only client with his quick responses by phone and email. He took charge of my case and made sure I was properly represented. It was very hard to go thru the process of a divorce, but Rick made it so much easier with his knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend him, he is top notch.

Glenna Jackson

My sister and I wanted to get a will done and I came across Attorney Richard Sandman in Cape May Court House, NJ. I called and he picked up the phone. I was impressed that he actually answered the phone instead of an assistant. I was able to talk to him and asked a lot of questions right away. He answered all my questions and some concerns. We decided to have Mr Richard E Sandman do our wills and living trust as well. He stayed in communication with us every step of the way. He made this a priority and had the wills prepared in no time. We went to his office at our convenience and he explained everything in detail. Gave us additional information we needed and made us feel confident and satisfied that we finally had our wills done. Very impressed with him and satisfied with the cost. Thank you Richard for making us feel good about getting our lives in order. Greatly appreciate your help.
