ABOUT SUE SANDYS

I grew up in the Detroit suburbs. I knew I wanted to be a lawyer from the summer I turned 16. I worked for a law office that summer and other than breaking the copy machine, I loved being in that environment. It just clicked with me. Being a lawyer lets me do 5 things I love: chat a lot, meet people, write, figure out complicated situations and help people.

I represented families involved with the Department of Child Safety for the first 11 years of my practice. I have helped families with estate planning for the past 20 plus years.

I love practicing law, but I also wanted to be available to raise my children. As a result, had my office in my home and kept my schedule flexible to handle sick kids, school plays and school sports. Now that my sons are 30 and 26, I moved into a "big girl" office. When I am not working, I love hanging out with my husband and sons, traveling, skiing, crafting and working on charity projects. For several years, I have helped coordinate a backpack drive for JFCS' youngest clients.
