Sandy joined Schroeter Goldmark & Bender in 1996, and is now a shareholder in the firm. In 1999, she took leave from SGB to become a public defender representing those who could not otherwise afford quality representation. There, she was known for obtaining victories in difficult felony and misdemeanor trials. She returned to SGB in 2001, where she represented plaintiffs in a variety of civil matters, obtaining million-dollar settlements and winning a judgment of over $1 million in a trial involving nursing home abuse. Sandy continues to represent clients in personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Clients, judges, and fellow attorneys commend Sandy for her preparedness, leadership, and aggressive advocacy.
Sandy began her legal career as a law clerk to former Chief Justice Barbara Durham of the Washington State Supreme Court. She earned her law degree from New York University, during which time she received the Arthur Garfield Hays Civil Liberties fellowship. She completed her undergraduate degree graduating with honors from Northwestern University.
