Meet Deborah Sandlin

Little girls, when asked what they want to be when they grow up, tend to give you answers like nurses, teachers, or singers. Deborah Sandlin, on the other hand, always had dreams of being a lawyer. That wide-eyed first-grader who used to watch a legal drama called Perry Mason on CBS, is now the founder and managing attorney of the Sandlin Family Law Group. 

Ms. Sandlin has earned the reputation of being tenacious,truthful and honest in her work, with her peers and with the judges. If there can only be one thing that clients like about her, it is her ability to listen and pay attention to details carefully. Clients who come to Ms. Sandlin for advice can expect to feel like they are cared for. She makes them understand that fighting a legal battle is a marathon, not a sprint race so it is very important to be patient.

Ms. Sandlin received her B.A. in Political Science from Eastern Kentucky University in 1985.  She then graduated from North Carolina Central University Law School, summa cum laude, in 1998. Later on, she has limited her practice to family law, adoption, appellate advocacy, collaborative law, mediation and arbitration.   Ms. Sandlin is one of only three attorneys in North Carolina who has been certified as a specialist in both the areas of appellate and family law and one of only two attorneys in North Carolina certified in both areas who litigates family law matters and represents clients through the appellate process.

If there’s one piece of advice she can give to a new attorney, it would be to protect their reputation as if it is the only thing they are going to have. She said, “Never let the integrity of your judgement be influenced by something that will tarnish that reputation. You need to hold on to that reputation and do what is right because that is what is expected of you and that’s the oath that we take to become an attorney.”
