David Sanford, Chairman of the Firm, has recovered more than one billion dollars for individual clients and the United States government since 2004. He has served as lead counsel in more than 50 class actions and numerous qui tam fraud cases around the country. Notably, David served as lead counsel in a gender discrimination class action against Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation that resulted in a $253 million verdict—the largest Title VII verdict in U.S. history.

David has also represented over 100 general counsel, in-house counsel, and lawyers in claims against their law firms and companies. Recently, on behalf of women who have experienced discrimination and pay inequity, he secured a multi-million settlement against Chadbourne & Parke LLP (now Norton Rose Fulbright LLP) and filed nine-figure lawsuits against Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. and against Morrison & Foerster LLP.

Vice-Chairman Jeremy Heisler has had notable success in employment class actions and complex multi-party and multi-state litigation, producing more than $400 million in benefits to class members. Jeremy has established leading employment law precedents, including the expansion of the rights of wrongfully discharged employees. As lead counsel, Jeremy secured the largest wage and hour settlement of 2012 ($99 million). His other successes include a $19.2 million settlement from GE Capital (GE charged consumers with illegal fees) and a $15 million settlement from a major leasing company (consumers were defrauded).

The New York office is managed by Russell Kornblith. Russell is an experienced litigation attorney who represents individuals on matters of fraud against the U.S. government and employees in individual and class actions in a wide range of employment disputes, including suits alleging unlawful terminations, unlawful denials of promotions, unequal pay, and hostile work environments. Among other clients, he currently represents a class of women in a national gender discrimination case.

Partners Michael Palmer and Andrew Melzer litigate cases on behalf of employees who are denied wages they are entitled to receive by law. Their cases include claims where individuals are misclassified as independent contractors or managers, denied base pay or overtime pay for hours worked or denied meal and rest breaks.

Partner Alexandra Harwin represents clients who have experienced discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, and disability. She has recovered damages in both class actions and individual cases.

It was indeed a great pleasure for me to work with David Sanford and his team of eminent lawyers. David has a great pulse on legal matters related to discrimination, harassment and retaliation and takes time amidst his busy schedule as head of one of the best law firms in the US to talk to his clients. He puts his clients at ease with his crystal clear understanding of the big picture and advises them on all options available to them throughout the process. He is an expert in both ethics and employment laws while being very empathetic at the same time. If you think you have been a victim of any kind of discrimination or harassment in the workplace, you owe it to yourself to reach out to David Sanford and his eminent team of lawyers without delay. Thanks.

I was referred to Sanford Heisler by an associate that has experienced their excellence. The details of a class action lawsuit were more than I could have ever imagined. My team at Sanford Heisler was responsive, understood the complexities of the case, and understood my position and they put forth amazing effort. Their legal skills, and knowledge, allows them to handle the most intricate employment issues. Not once did I have to contact the firm for an update on how my case was progressing. I was informed every step of the way. I was in awe of the firm’s command of employment law. Amazed at their available resources and sense of obligation to fight for the rights of the individual. I always felt that my case was of the utmost importance to Sanford Heisler. The firm works tirelessly to ensure justice prevails and that you receive the best possible outcome under the law. I worked closely with Attorney Michael Palmer and Attorney David Tracey. They not only handled the litigation but sheltered me from the “hired bullies” working for the large insurance company. I always felt prepared and protected. Attorney Palmer and Attorney Tracey were always; receptive, accessible, realistic, strategically focused on my best interest. During my litigation additional issues arose, I was always treated respectfully, and I continually received pragmatic assessments of the circumstances, and of the potential difficult process that would lay ahead. I could not ask for better representation than what I received. I was fortunate Sanford & Heisler agreed to represent me. They are by far one of the best employment firms in the country. Stephanie L.

Prior to my engagement with Sanford Heisler Sharp, LLP, I had heard the law firm’s outstanding reputation for legal services. However, what I found out after my personal experience with the firm cannot even be put into words. My case lawyers, Russell Kornblith and Kate MacMullin, were simply awesome. I am forever grateful for their level of skill and compassion that they presented me. Russell and Kate are extremely knowledgeable lawyer -- a team anyone could rely on for their case. They are extremely approachable and honest and go the extra mile to represent their clients. From the moment I met them the first time, I knew I was safe. Thank you very much, Russell and Kate

Working with this firm was a very positive experience for me, personally. Particularly, the support from Katie, Shaun and Charles from the first filing thru depositions to settlement. If I had any questions they were answered promptly. They were all friendly, knowledgeable and I always felt like they had my back. Highly recommended.
