The second, is that if and when you need to choose legal counsel you will need the very best available. You want an attorney who is HIGHLY respected by his peers, judges, and prosecutors. An attorney who is the subject matter expert with complete understanding of the law and its application. An attorney who is streetwise, who has won the battles, and is so well-rounded they know exactly what to do and when to do it in the courtroom. Sanford Schulman is this attorney.
