Attorney Sandra S. Neuman

I have dedicated my life to fighting for justice for victims of negligence. Since 2000, I have had the pleasure of working for two of the premier medical malpractice firms in Allegheny County, achieving verdicts and settlements in excess of $120 million. In September of 2022, I founded Sandra Neuman Law, LLC, where I will continue to dedicate my career to helping those impacted by medical malpractice and negligence.
