About the Law Office of David Sandy

I provide legal representation in Social Security Disability, Memphis Family Law Mediation and Guardian ad Litem Assignments, appeals, and Small business services such as incorporation and contract formation. The legal practice was originally formed with the mission of providing aggressive but caring Memphis legal services with a focus on family and divorce law litigation. After practicing with this focus for several years, I decided that the adversarial practice of law was ultimately unrewarding for both me and my clients.

I found the practice of divorce and family law litigation to involve almost without exception a mutually unrewarding outcome for both parties, except when the parties had come to a mediated agreement. I also was frustrated by the high financial costs being imposed on my clients by the litigation process.

In order to refocus my law practice into a more socially beneficial business, I underwent training as a family law mediator and decided to focus on the non-litigation practice of law. I also have associated with a national law firm with an exclusive focus on the largely administrative practice Social Security Disability Law.

One area that I’m keeping is the practice of helping small businesses from forming incorporation and partnerships, drafting contracts, and help with regulatory compliance. Advising and helping small businesses grow has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my practice of law.

I also greatly enjoy the more cerebral and written area of appellate practice. One of the most rewarding cases in my practice was In Re Angela E. et. Al., (Tenn. 2010), where I was appellate counsel and ultimately achieved a reversal of both the trial court and the Tennessee Court of Appeals.
