A trustworthy and competent attorney

Sarah handled my custody case. It was not the easiest of matters as my husband was out of the country. She handled all of the necessary filings, kept me apprised during the process and more importantly for me, was honesty with what to expect at court and during the whole process. I appreciated her... explaining each step, the potential timeline and outcome. She successfully obtained sole legal custody for me and I will always be grateful for her assistance and caring.

Good experience

Sarah was great to work with. I was going through a divorce situation and Sarah was sensitive to what I was going through but also listened to me and helped me to get what I was looking for. She made herself available even after office hours which meant the world to me! She was extremely knowledgea...ble and gave me a lot of information. She made sure I understood everything that was going on at all times. Thank you Sarah!
