Wonderful practice with integrity

recently had the pleasure of working with Sara Shikhman on my case, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From our first meeting, it was clear that she genuinely cared about my situation and was willing to fight for the right outcome. Sara and her team were not only knowledgeable and profession...al but also took the time to explain every step of the process, making me feel supported and informed.

Sara is one of the best in her field. She is knowledgeable and resourceful. Sara helps professionals on all levels stay complaint and grow their businesses the correct way.

Excellent Attorney in Health Care Law/Medical Spas and Great Person

Sara possesses a mastery and deep understanding of the healthcare laws and medical spa business. Anyone interested in opening a medical spa/healthcare business or growing an existing business into a profitable, scalable practice would be smart to work with Sara. Most importantly, Sara is a genuinely ...good person who helps others achieve their best and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Sara.

Horrible experience

I have no idea how she has this many 5 star reviews because my experience was the completely opposite. From the time I contacted sara she was very responsive UNTIL I signed the retainer. First and foremost, i don’t know if she even knows what’s she’s doing because there were SO MANY errors when fi...ling my corporation. I had to make multiple payments because of her actions. NEVER once did she ever apologize for her mistakes but yet every time you ask her something she says “it costs more.” At one point she said she’d review a document as a courtesy because my documents were taking longer than expected. Like what?!? You’re the reason it’s taking long. But wait here’s the kicker, paid her thousands because I obviously didn’t know everything and needed legal help. My accountant reviewed all my docs and asked me if I hired a fake lawyer because the two corps that were supposed to just be ONE aren’t even tied together. I can’t even make this up. I still haven’t even received half the documents promised to me. HORRIBLE. I regret ever spending what I did with her.

Excellent Service and Legal advice

Had such an amazing experience with Sara. I have been trying to collect my pension from a previous employer for 6 months. They haven’t replied to phones calls, letters, or emails. I was hesitant to get a lawyer because I didn’t want to create any tension. Boy was I wrong and being silly! With a singl...e phone call Sara had everything handled and taken care of. I literally had a call from the company with 6 hours of talking to Sara! Sara was kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and worked so quickly! Thank you Sara for all your hard work! I would highly recommend Sara to anyone who needs any legal services. She will not let you down!

  • 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.
