Sanford Remz

Sanford "Sandy" Remz is a private-practice criminal defense attorney based in New York City. He is known for defending rich clients from prosecution by the Manhattan District Attorney's office or by the Remnant.
In 2018, he represented Landon McKnight's mother Rebecca following her arrest for stealing Landon's identity and attempting to arrange the murders of Landon, Gary McKnight, and Ezra Bridger. During the trial, he attempted to portray Landon as a drug user and male prostitute while claiming Rebecca was a victim of Landon's poor choices. During his cross-examination of Landon, he produced a photo of Landon with Ezra and claimed that Landon had slept with Ezra sometime prior to Landon's high school graduation. When Ryan Pratchard objected to the photo as he had never seen it, Judge Jennifer Khayman deemed the photo as inadmissible and scolded Remz for his attempt to intimidate a witness in her courtroom. Remz later accused Ezra of kidnapping Josh Myers and Lucy Felth which Judge Khayman quickly put a stop to. Remz's defense consisted of one of Landon's aunts whose testimony Ryan claimed was all and Rebecca herself who claimed that she was trying to help Landon as much as she could being a single mother which Ryan disproved during cross-examination which turned out to be a further mistake on Remz's part as it allowed Ryan to call Hera Syndulla as a rebuttal witness. Rebecca was eventually convicted of all charges and received a prison sentence of multiple fifteen year terms to be served consecutively although Connie Rubirosa felt that Remz should have been told about Judge Khayman's potential bias in the case.
