A single father

While working with previous attorneys during my high conflict divorce and custody battle, I never felt like the lawyer advocated what was in my best interest. With that said, I am very pleased that I finally met and hired Sara. She is tough and keeps an even keel. She argues with force, but no m...ud-slinging. It's my impression that opposing counsel holds her in high regard. During our phone calls, Sara is direct and to the point. She'll give you your options, advise on what might be the best course of action, then will take your direction (provided you are reasonable and realistic). Before the court, she sticks to the facts and the law and most important, she will advocate for your best interest. You can't ask for anything more.

Absolutely the BEST

I came to Sara Corcoran after initially hiring another Bergen County attorney that really screwed up my custody case. Ms. Corcoran was absolutely amazing. She worked through all the challenges in my case and was able to help me get to a great outcome with my ex in regards to parenting time, alimony a...nd spousal support. Had it not been for Sara, it would have cost me a lot more in spousal support and I would have had a lot less time with my kids. Sara really understood my challenges and worked hard to fix what my original attorney screwed up. I cannot recommend her enough.

CEO

Sara was extremely professional, helpful and knowledgeable. She kept me focused on the end result and always gave advice that helped the process end fairly and quickly. She knows the system and has experience. Divorce is an emotional process and she listens and was on my side. She is not abo...ut billing, she is about meeting your needs. I would highly recommend Sara.

The only divorce firm in town

No one wants to need a divorce lawyer, but when you do this is the one to hire. My own divorce had all kinds of complications - a (now ex) husband with an all-cash business who swore he'd fight me for custody of our young kids, a paperwork mix-up that called certain dates into question, property t...o divide under less-than-amicable circumstances. It could have easily become a nightmare in less knowledgeable hands. But Ms. Corcoran advocated ably for me from Day 1 and saw what could have been a quagmire to a swift conclusion. She is professional, knowledgeable and smart. She's the one you want sitting at your table. You'll see on her firm's website that they have all kinds of awards and distinctions. They're well-deserved. When you really need the professionals, this is the firm to get. Ms. Corcoran will do an outstanding job for you.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
