Posted by Sean | June 29, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

Sarah was the ideal choice to represent me for my divorce. She was a complete professional yet it felt very personal. She understood that these situations can be very stressful and difficult, & she did everything in her power to ease my mind, & make the entire process as painless as possible. She was... easy to talk to, laugh & commiserate with. I cannot recommend Sarah enough.

Posted by Toni | June 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Highly recommended!

Sarah is professional, caring and knowledgeable. She was highly recommended to me and I would absolutely recommend her as well. Going through many months of court hearings on child custody, child support, and a name change of a minor is a very stressful time and Sarah was always there. She took a ves...ted interest in my situation and ultimately got everything ruled in our favor due to her determination and expertise. My family is very thankful for Sarah and always will be.

Excellence

Sarah is an efficient, intelligent and responsive attorney. She guided me through the divorce process with compassion and clarity. I would highly recommend her services and that of her associated firm.

Marriage and prenuptials lawyer | Jan 21

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Sarah and I represented opposing parties in a prenuptial agreement. She was incredibly responsive, hardworking and easy to work with, but also appropriately advocated for her client's interests and rights. While the parties were not adversarial, there were still some strong emotions that were part of the negotiation process and Sarah addressed those issues with care and kindness. I look forward to working with Sarah in the future and would highly recommend this attorney."
