Mr.

Mrs. Goldenthal has been phenomenal. I have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Goldenthal for nearly four years in a custody case for my two children. We had an exceptionally long battle in family court and then in supreme court that resulted in three separate settlements. Since the beginning, she... has been compassionate, caring, professional, honest, and incredibly reliable. Without her, I would likely have never seen my children again, let alone have primary custody. She has been there every step of the way for us, and I would absolutely recommend her. Thank you, Sarah.

Highly recommended

Sarah was referred to me by a friend during my search of a family law attorney. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who needs legal guidance regarding family court matters (divorce, child custody, parenting time, etc.) Sarah guided me through the entire process in a highly effective manner. She ...operates with compassion and provides a realistic assessment of where you may stand. I am appreciative of Sarah’s hard work, legal knowledge, preparedness and passionate advocacy on my behalf. Again, I highly recommend her!

Sarah was in my corner when I needed it most.

Sarah represented me throughout the pursuit of joint custody of my young child. Sarah is very easy to communicate with and was really receptive to what I was going through. At our first consultation together we drew up a very detailed plan of what our expectations were and what we were looking for. ...She explained to me what my rights were and how we could go about getting an equal share of parenting time. I knew after our fist consultation that Sarah was the right person to represent me going forward. Sarah is professional, articulate and holds firm when it comes to the pursuit of what you are legally entitled to. She educated me on the process of what we would have to do and how long it might take. Sarah was very encouraging and let me know that there was a light at the end of the tunnel and that everything would tun out well for us. Throughout the process Sarah was genuine and always looked out for my best interest. She was extremely diligent and punctual throughout the time we worked together. Sarah also knew when to be pragmatic in the pursuit of our larger goal. I cannot stress enough how patient and thoughtful she was during our time together. This can be a very difficult time for a parent but Sarah was confident and reassuring that everything would turn out alright. In the end I was granted full shared custody of my child. I now enjoy a consistent and significant amount of time with my child and we have a wonderful relationship. If you feel like you need someone in your corner who will fight for your rights as a parent I can't think of anyone better. Sarah is thoughtful, kind, generous with her time and will have your back throughout the process. She gave me the peace of mind I needed during a very stressful period in my life and the storybook ending with my child that I had dreamed of. I can't thank her enough for that.

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.
