She saw first hand the impact of a separation on clients and was eager to make this process as easy as possible for them.

As a litigator, Sandy has appeared before all levels of courts and tribunals in British Columbia. She prides herself on her pragmatic approach to successfully settling disputes along with her strong listening and negotiation skills. As a Children's lawyer, Sandy represents children between the ages of 7-18 in having their voice heard in the legal system. She is fluent in both English and Punjabi.
