Do not hire them . Horrible service. No communication. They don't answer the phone.
They hang up in your face and don't inform you on the process of what's going on. Never spoke to mr sands himself. He's apparently to busy with other clients. Claimed that my case wasn't urgent. Left me homeless because he filed for a continuance after I told him I did not want one but he had other cases to tend too. Should have let me know that before I paid. My buddy hired them prior and had the same experience. Most reviews are fake

Do not hire this group.
I gave them money up front to serve my husband divorce papers. The job never got done and they will not return my money. I have reported them to the better Business bureau in hopes of reclaiming my $500 that I gave them.They do not answer your emails or phone calls .

I had the privilege of working with Thomas Sands, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to my case were truly outstanding. From the very beginning, he took the time to explain every step of the process in clear, understandable terms, ensuring I was always informed and comfortable with the decisions being made. His attention to detail and strategic thinking helped us achieve a successful outcome, and his genuine care for his clients sets him apart from other lawyers I’ve worked with. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and dedicated, Thomas Sands is the one you need.

I recently had the pleasure to speak with Mr. Thomas from The Sands Law Group, APLC.
Mr. Thomas, took the time to listen to my concerns and provide me with clear, actionable advice and also explained every step of the legal process in a way that was easy to understand. If you’re in need of legal assistance, I highly recommend The Sands Law Group, they are truly the best!

I hired Mr. Sands for a domestic violence case, and what I witnessed with my own eyes was nothing short of amazing. From the start, his team prepared my case with so much care and dedication. Every time I called his office, the entire team was there for us, advocating and supporting us through the toughest moments.

On the day of my court date, I saw my ex-husband’s reaction when he saw Mr.Sands It was clear—he felt intimidated. And that’s what I loved. Mr. Sands went in there and spoke to the judge with confidence, representing me with strength and conviction. It made me feel so protected.

One of the things that really stood out to me was that I had Mr. Sands personal number, and I could Text him any day. He always responded, which showed me just how much he cares for his clients. That’s a big thumbs up in my book!

Mr.Sands is a true soldier—here to fight for us and advocate on our behalf. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone, 100%. He’s not only a great listener but also a fierce fighter. If you need an attorney who will truly take care of you, don’t hesitate. He’s a badass Attorney. 💙

Our case was complicated and required a detailed review of everything to be fully prepared for court. I don't feel we received the best representation to the maximum capacity. Had the proper research been done, there would have been a different outcome. We just gained a more challenging and stressful schedule than one that was best for our family as a whole. There were things accomplished that moved us in the right direction, however, it was the bare minimum. Thomas did not show up in person to a very important hearing, instead appeared electronically and letting us know the evening before. We had to request the minute order days after the hearing, and an after hearing order was supposed to be written up by our attorney and sent over to the other party, which never was. Trying to get a substitution e-filed to remove him from our case has been complicated and we're unable to proceed with any other filing without removing him. Expensive and I personally didn't think the price matches what was provided.

Unless you want Thomas Sands to try and attend your court hearing and some one else’s at the same time remotely, I suggest you read my experience below.

I had previously left a review in February stating some positives of this Law Firm which I had to delete and cannot honor. After my experience in May, I hope I can help prevent someone from experiencing the same frustrations and lack of professionalism.

Initially this firm helped me with my Child Support hearing. Overall for that aspect of the case, The Sands Law Group was helpful and responsive, the case itself was very straight forward as Child Support Services through La County was also involved and I hired Thomas as backup since the other party had an attorney as well.
I had retained this Law Firm to get custody orders finalized and about 30 days after child support was finalized, I was served with Custody papers from the other party as well. Copies were emailed to Thomas and his team to go over the next steps as I had no issues with the initial representation so I was confident in having them complete the custody aspect as well.
Unfortunately this is where my whole experience started to falter. Updates became far and few unless I reached out to the team and only after about 2 emails I would receive an update on the paperwork from one of the paralegals.
3 days before my scheduled court hearing, I reached out to Thomas and his team to find out what was going on with paperwork and why my response had not be finalized from the paperwork I had been served prior. Thomas’s team filed my response 2 days before the court hearing which is not proper notice and could have allowed the other party to request an extension.
The other party did not want an extension even though they had not been given the proper time for review and we proceeded with the court hearing. At which point Mr. Sands was attempting to attend mine and another clients virtually at the same time!
I was in utter shock and disbelief that my attorney whom I was trusting to go through my custody case, was trying to double dip court rooms at the same time.
The judge was extremely frustrated and I ended up speaking for myself through 90% of my hearing to end up with such vague custody orders, I am already having to request a modification myself.
The paperwork was just typed up and filed with the court on August 1st! Almost 2 and a half months to get the paperwork finalized.

My case may have been a small non money maker for Thomas and perhaps that’s why I didn’t receive the care and concern, however the custody of my child is my whole life and I was made a fool by this firm.
