Never been in trouble financially…

Never been in trouble financially before and was looking at filing for bankruptcy. Sands and Associates explained in great detail my options and helped me put together a consumer proposal package that was more than fair.
Shout out to Hannah for all her help and expertise! She's amazing!

Extremely professional and to the point

Probably the most professionally handled experience I have ever had, with honest genuine care, clear communication and transparency. Omer was on top of everything with all my options and how to optimally move forward. He brought to my attention things that I myself even missed on my own for one. I felt like I was going nowhere before Sands & Associates, but that is no longer the case. Highly recommend, and thank you for everything moving forward.
