Simply the best!

Attorney Saunders is truly the best. She expertly handled my custody and child support situation with an extremely difficult and highly contentious former spouse on three different occasions now. Each time we walked away victorious. She really knows her stuff and is super nice as well. Truly a blessi...ng to have her on your side when you’re feeling the most vulnerable and worn down by the whole process. She steps up to bat and knocks it right out of the park on your behalf.

Professional and dedicated to my case

I cannot fully express my appreciation for Attorney Saunders support and legal counsel through my recent motions for modification. She at all times kept focused on the case and all its details, and strove for what was equitable and in my family's best interest under the law. I would not hesitate to r...ecommend Sarah Saunders, and the team at Savona & Saunders, to anyone in need of counsel for family court cases.

The Real Deal

I received a summons regarding a Motion for Modification on a custody order, and I was a little skeptical at first based on my past experience with lawyers (I downright didn't trust them in general). I was referred by a friend who couldn't say enough good things about her, and contacted her. We met b...riefly and discussed the situation as she read through the information. She asked a few questions and almost immediately told me that it's B.S. She called the opposing lawyer from her cell to try and get some clarity on what they are thinking, and told me not to worry! I was blown away with her honesty and insight. Sarah explained exactly what would happen as it did. She was at the courthouse the day of my hearing and gave me some suggestions. It was so cute and dry that I never had to hire her. She took care of me as if I was family! Sarah is smart, strong, honest, and to the point. She has my utmost trust and I would undoubtedly recommend her to anyone I that I love and care about.
