Awesome Team!!!!

Attorney Sarah Sounders, Attorney Lindsay Savona and Paralegal Conroy were kind, compassionate, and worked hard for me throughout my lengthy and difficult divorce. They are extremely knowledgeable and always professional! I recommend their firm to everyone! They answered my phone calls and emails imm...ediately always reassuring me they had everything under control which they did! Thank you so much, not just from me but my children as well.

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.

One Step Ahead

5 Stars is not nearly enough to express the gratitude that I have for Attorney Saunders. I recently hired Sarah while dealing with my child, child support, visitation and other significant events from my recent divorce that I also needed help in. Not knowing how “things” took place Sarah was always ...able to answer my questions and kept me informed at all times while even being from another state. In a stressful situation where I couldn’t miss work Attorney Saunders understood and made sure I was taken care of. Hands down I honestly believe I couldn’t have gotten better service or assistance from any other lawyer or Law Firm out there. Not being from the state of CT and not knowing what I was getting into I couldn’t be more satisfied with an Attorney who is Powerful, Comprehensive, Strategic and one step ahead.

Highly Recommend Attorney Saunders

I would highly recommend Attorney Saunders for anyone getting a divorce. She made me feel comfortable in every step of the process. She was always quick to respond to questions I had, and I had a lot. She made sure I did not have to be in the same room with my ex until it was absolutely necessary. ...Thanks Sarah for making a bad situation tolerable.

Goes above and beyond!

Unfortunately I've had to battle with an ex husband over the past 8 yrs however, FORTUNATELY I've had atty Saunders there to fight for my and my children's best interests legally & financially. She gets the job done, keeps you informed and has no problem returning a phone call or answering any questi...ons, no matter how ridiculous they may be. Sara has worked with and gone up against the toughest attys in New London County. She is professional & tough yet will give you that pat on the shoulder assuring you that you have no worries. Short Version: She KNOWS her sh_t & gets the job done!!
