"Rene, I feel like I woke up a new person today and cannot get out of my mind how hard you fought for me.  You are amazing.  If there is ever anything that I can ever do for you I don’t care if it’s carrying boxes to the courthouse because they’re too heavy-- anything you need I am here for you.  Thank you so much again.  I feel that you really saved my life.  The rainy Sunday in the mud taking pictures for my case will be a story I will share for life.  You are the best."

"I would like to express to you how grateful I am for all your hard work, dedication and professionalism in helping me get my license back. I must admit, I sometimes thought it would never happen, but you always maintained a positive and reassuring attitude of confidence. I am extremely impressed with the way you planned and provided the legal argument for the post-conviction appeal. It was the correct approach that most attorneys would not have thought of or even attempt to take. Most of all, you never judged me or made me feel less than about my health condition and the life long battle that I face. When I struggled at times, you were always supportive, kind and there to help. If there is anything I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to call. Thank You Again."
~ Client, 2019

“The family hired a new legal team, headed by Rene Sandler, a powerhouse attorney and constitutional crusader well known in D.C. circles as a tenacious thorn in the side of law enforcement, even though she herself is a former prosecutor.” 
~ When They Come For You, David Kirby

“I called Rene on a Saturday morning after I was pulled over for DUI. She picked up immediately. Because this was a multiple/repeat offense, I was very worried about my future. Rene calmly and confidently walked me through the entire process and had a plan in place from day one.  The outcome of my trial was better than expected, and again, Rene was with me every step of the way.

Bottom line: Rene’s dedication to her clients is second to none. She is one of the finest attorneys in Maryland and I would recommend her to family and friends in a heart beat”
~ BC, 2019 Client

“My Firm engaged Rene Sandler to consult on a case involving criminal and related issues that our Firm does not handle.  Rene’s intuition, foresight and sheer strategic instincts were instrumental in bringing about the desired results for the client. As a colleague in the same profession, I saw firsthand how a top tier lawyer operates.  Rene is sharp, straight forward and clearly understands both people and process to achieve results.  Rene is truly a first class lawyer.”
~ 2019 Attorney Co-Counsel

"We wanted to thank you for taking the time away from your holiday to advise us on our recent legal matter.  Your counsel provided us with the knowledge and confidence we so desperately needed which made our holiday bearable."
~ DC, December, 2018

"You are the greatest attorney on the planet and the strongest woman I have ever known. Thank you for helping my son and family.  We are forever grateful."
~ December, 2018

"Rene is simply exceptional! She goes well beyond the “generally accepted” level of effort to truly work on behalf of her client for the best possible outcome. Her sights and determination are unrelentingly set on that goal scarcely considering a quick or least resistant path despite its availability. A practitioner at such a high level is a rare find among many who are more oriented toward fulfilling billable hour quotas. Trust, integrity, and skill are Rene’s hallmark and I was especially blessed to have her represent me."
~ A happy Rene Sandler Client, 2017-2018

"Dear Rene, I would like to express how grateful I am for you help in my case. It has given me an opportunity that I will always remember. Because of your extensive knowledge and skill I am able to recover from this incident without taking a great wound to my future. I am infinitely grateful for the hours and days that you spent successfully putting me in a better position and that will never be forgotten. These meager words display only a fraction of how appreciate I am for your work."
~ A Grateful Client, April, 2016

"What can I say to the one person who never gave up on me and had my back? Thank you is not enough. Please accept my sincere appreciation for all that you have done to restore my faith in the system and in people. You fought so hard for me and I have my life back because of your hard work. Thank you thank you thank you."

~ John, April, 2014

"Simply put, there is no better lawyer than Rene Sandler. Rene's level of experience, strategy balanced with a genuine concern for her clients is truly unique only to her. I highly recommend Rene."
~ A very happy Client, December, 2013.

"I've had the pleasure of working with Rene Sandler when I was in a difficult spot a year or so ago. She is by far the most thorough, dedicated, intelligent and compassionate lawyer I have ever dealt with. She listened to my story, reviewed the files and talked with potential witnesses in the pursuit of the best route for the best outcome. Rene not only understands the law but she has great rapport with the legal system personnel and for good reasons. The judges love her because she is prepared and asks and answers all important questions. To have a "local" lawyer with so many attributes is, indeed, a prize for the Rockville community. She will represent you with care and deft understanding, which is unusual in the legal profession, from my experience. She's is one of the best lawyers one could possibly have standing next to them in the court room or in a discussion room. Thanks, Rene!"
~ Forever grateful - A, May 2013

"Rene Sandler and her associates are an amazing team. They definitely deliver results. In the process, they instill a tremendous sense of confidence and help clients feel like they are being completely supported. I've worked with attorneys for more than 25 years, and I've never seen a team quite like Sandler Law."
~ A Very Satisfied Client in 2010

"I would like to thank Rene Sandler for the professional and personal service I received. From the day I called Rene Sandler, she guided me and my family through a complicated legal process, always offering personal and updated information. She always returned my e-mails and phone calls promptly, never leaving me in the dark! To make the situation even more complicated, I reside in another State, but this did not hinder the personal service I received from Rene.

I would recommend the Sandler Law firm to my family and friends without hesitation; I was pleasantly surprised to find a law firm which offered personal service, which helped make a difficult situation bearable. The legal results surpassed our expectations, and Rene never made unrealistic promises. "
