Professional

My sisters and I had the privilege of having Sara Kane represent us. Sara’s professional, compassionate and genuine nature provided us with a strong connection right away. Sara was deeply committed and always had our best interest at heart. If you are looking for someone intelligent, meticulous, kind...-hearted and dedicated to her client, then Sara is the right attorney for you. We could not recommend her enough.

Our Champion!

My wife and I were in a difficult position when her employer unethically fired her, right after she had returned to work from maternity leave. My wife's employer aggressively came after our young family, armed with the best lawyers that money can buy. We thought that we would lose everything in the p...rocess of defending ourselves, but Sara Kane believed in us and took our case. She fought for us when we could not. We are so thankful to Sara Kane for fighting for us and protecting our interests.

Great Attorney!

I had the privilege of having Sara Kane represent me in a case recently. It was an extremely difficult and emotional case for me to deal with but Sara made me feel confident and safe. Throughout the the whole process Sara Kane and Monica Hincken were great! They were honest and genuine and truly car...ed about me and what was best for me. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a sincere, honest, trustworthy, compassionate, and thorough attorney who always have there clients needs as there top priority

Everything You'd Want in an Attorney

My sister's and I had the privledge of having Sara Kane and Robert Valli represent us in a case that lasted several years. Throughout the years they were nothing but transparent, communicative, and genuine, they truly cared for us and you felt that every step of the way. The service they gave was eve...rything you'd want in an attorney and we'd recommend them every time.

Simply the best!

I was represented by Sara Kane in my litigation. As I am a lawyer, too, I have seen many lawyers negotiating settlements and have often done so myself. Sara, however, brings the art of negotiation to a new level. Watching her manipulate the other lawyer was amazing. In the end, I did not get what I ...had hoped for ... I got even more! She is simply, the best!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
