Named Law Firm of the Year by Benchmark Litigation and other sources, Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight, LLP, in New York, New York, is one of the country's most prominent and successful full-service legal practices for executives, medical professionals, attorneys, workers, and individuals, dealing with complex, pressing legal challenges involving any of the following:

I had the privilege of working with an incredible legal team during a long and challenging 7-year legal battle over back wages. I will always be grateful for their hard work and dedication. They gave their all and never once let me lose hope, even during the most difficult moments. Their brilliance, empathy, and unwavering commitment stood out from start to finish. They truly tried as hard as they could and supported me every step of the way. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation.
