On top of her game

I needed help with some post-divorce issues. Ms Goldenthal from Callagy Law was so helpful and knowledgeable with all phases of my case. She took time to thoroughly explain everything and was always available to talk. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Best attorney for the worst divorce ever!

I cannot say enough about Sarah Goldenthal. She helped me navigate a divorce that took over a year to complete. She remained professional, personable, and was always available to guide me through every strange and ridiculous turn of events. We were forced to file numerous motions, which were all s...uccessful. She helped recover marital assets dissipated including those from college funds, and used her skill and knowledge to negotiate the best possible outcome for my particular situation. She helped successfully avoid what would have been a long, down out trial. I never imagined that I would need the services of a divorce lawyer, but I'm so happy that I had Ms. Goldenthal to guide me through.

Miracles do happen

So when I reached out to Callagy law firm I was introduced to Sarah and she is beyond a joy to work with! She heard my family court case and was very confident in her ability to win my case which she did! As many know family law and grandparent visitation is very lengthy and tedious, nevertheless, sh...e tackled the matter head on and highlighted several errors by the courts documents and proceeding. She gave me peace of mind and I was able to enjoy my time with my family while she did all the hard stuff. Anyone who has encountered the courts in Newark, NJ knows how ridiculous and impossible they can be. Therefore, having the confidence and savvy she had I never worried. She appeared for me and I didn't have to show up and be aggravated by the adversary (she taught me that). My lawyer's arguments were so powerful that the other party backed down and dropped the whole case which was a shock to me because the individual involved is very head strong and belligerent. Thank you a billion times Sarah and the Callagy Law Firm. Also, prices are affordable and they work with you regarding your personal circumstances.

Sarah is beyond exceptional!

Custody, visitation, and child support cases can become incredibly emotional and messy as it was for me. My case was definitely not the easiest as it was literally lost in the system. However, once I met with Sarah I was able to see that things would be just fine. From our first consultation she imm...ediately attempted to contact the court and straighten out the mess that my previous lawyer had made for me. Sarah was able to catch up on my case and move everything along as quickly as possible. Sarah is truly hard working, incredibly dedicated to her work, and proficient at what she does. She was very easy to work with as she was honest and thoroughly explained my legal rights. Sarah made sure that every decision was something I was comfortable with and would benefit my children and I. She is incredibly knowledgeable and gave my case the proper attention that it needed. Although it took a lot of back and forth, I am happy with the court order that was eventually agreed upon. Sarah will really fight for you and seek the best possible solution. I am protected in many ways with what she has written for me in our consent order because she included many details that truly make a difference. Honestly, I cannot see myself with better results or retaining any other lawyer. Sarah really treats your case with passion and never makes you feel as though you're in the dark. I never had a hard time reaching her. Sarah was always responsive in a quick and timely manner. I have already recommended her to a friend who has received phenomenal results from Sarah's work as well. I cannot thank Sarah enough for all the work she has put into my case. It has made things a lot better for my children and I. Sarah is beyond exceptional and you really cannot go wrong with her.

Need an attorney that is client oriented and will crack down ANY circumstance out there? Well look no further! Sarah is the ONE!

Sarah is a spectacular person let alone attorney. She is client oriented, really hears you out and will go above and beyond to help you get whatever it is your trying to settle with your ex. My circumstance was a bit complicated nevertheless Sarah did not hesitate to explore all options and provide e...xtensive information on the ins and outs of what each route may take and have us end up with. She is extremely reliable and available, she is very prompt with responding back to messages and is detail oriented. I recall when I first had my consultation with her I knew she was going to put in every ounce of effort she had into my case as she picked up on some intricate details of our circumstance and elaborated on them while writing the order. She supported me in my decision making as well. As I mentioned, my case was a bit sticky as it involved dealing with an ex spouse that was very difficult with some underlying mental issues, preventing us from coming to an agreement without having the judicial system involved. That being said, my situation did not create any bias with my case nor did I feel as though it would have inhibit me from attaining the order I truly wanted. During our first court appearance Sarah demonstrated our case efficiently to the judge which permitted her to order a forensic psychologist to conduct an evaluation on both myself and ex spouse for the benefit of my son. Additionally, my son's father tried to exempt himself from paying the evaluation so we ended up appearing for another trial only to find out from the judge that despite his income and reckless spending, he was still deemed 100% responsible for paying the psychologist for the evaluation! He was trying to avoid being evaluated as he was uncertain what the results would show. Turns out, there were some significant findings! Had it not been for Sarah's persistence and resilient behavior and attitude, I don't believe we would have stood a chance for having my rights granted. Furthermore, I was trying to file for sole custody which inevitably I personally did not want to pursue further with the whole court scenario, so we came to a mutual agreement during our last court appearance on January 26th 2017 to have joint custody, however the parenting times were very strict as I had initially requested. Sarah made sure I was going to leave the courtroom that day with supplemental pros from the agreement and I have to admit, even though I had to cave in for joint custody, the strict parenting guidelines we had established as well as the meticulous child support description really shed some light onto the whole situation. I walked out of that courtroom with a lot more regulations for my son's father than what would have been if we had continued with court and the judge would have granted something totally different than what was anticipated. Because of Sarah's great listening skills and putting her clients needs into perspective, I was able to get what I wanted from this case regardless if a negotiation had to be made from both parties. Sarah really knows her profession and she excels tremendously. I recently heard that she has left Weinberger Law Group and has begun her career at another law firm, however if anything does arise in the near future and should I need further consultation, I'll be sure to Google her name to find her! I'm humbled to have had such a wonderful attorney like her and she assisted me through such a devastating point in my life. I don't think I'd be comfortable starting my case with someone else who may not even hear my needs out. I'm confident that she will continue to rise in her career and that this list of reviews will only get longer and lengthier for her. You're remarkable Sarah!
