While some children follow in the footsteps of their parents to become lawyers, Ron Sandack came to the decision on his own with the help of some of his favorite television shows as a child. He would watch law/court dramas and be continuously fascinated with the cross-examinations, whodunnits, the arguments, and the overall atmosphere these shows created. As he grew up, Ron noticed his seemingly innate ability for debating, arguing, and contesting things. Young Mr. Sandack enjoyed the interactive learning aspects this created with his teachers and fellow classmates so much that it inspired him to pursue a career in law.

Law is constantly changing, is entirely intellectual, and requires constant reading and learning, aspects Mr. Sandack thoroughly enjoys about his career. By finding the exceptions to the exceptions and discovering nuances he never stumbled across before makes his job ever-changing and a challenge that encourages him to try harder for each and every client that comes through his office. His firm, Gaido & Fintzen, undertakes their clients’ causes as if they were their own and they care deeply about their clients. Ron and his colleagues firmly believe that when a person cares they will go to greater lengths to prepare and succeed.
