This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The most kind and compassionate attorney…

I highly recommend hiring Sarah Horowitz as your attorney…She is the perfect combination of efficiency, professionalism, and genuine compassion. From the very beginning, she handled my estate in a timely and organized manner, always staying ahead of deadlines and keeping me informed every step of the... way. Her responsiveness and attention to detail gave me complete confidence and peace of mind. What truly sets her apart, however, is her kind heart. She approaches her work with such warmth and understanding, making you feel heard, respected, and cared for—not just like another case. Her compassion also reflects the wonderful family she comes from. I met the Horowitz family over 10 years ago. They are truly one of the most loving and supportive families I have ever known. It’s no surprise that she brings those same values of integrity, dedication, and care into her practice. If you are looking for an attorney who is not only highly competent and efficient but also deeply compassionate and trustworthy, she is the one. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and support.

Phenomenal!!! Margot was the absolute best!!!

Phenomenal!!! This is an understatement of how amazing this team was with working with me to develop my final preparation documents! Margot was so kind, patient and very knowledgeable about everything I asked of her! I had many changes and she never made me feel bothersome or like I was making the wr...ong decision or bothering her! Hands down the most professional law firm for these matters I’ve ever dealt with! Thank you Margot for making this process stress free and rewarding!

Drafted Will, Trust and Power of Attorney Docs Quick and Effectively

Sarah is a wonderful attorney as is her associate Margot Roberts. Sarah took the time to explain the function of wills, trusts, power of attorney and medical directive documents with us. Then Margot drafted the each of the documents in accordance with our wishes. As busy parents, my wife and I were n...ot always the most focused or responsive clients but the office met us with patience and understanding.

Estate Documents

My husband and I had documents 16 years old that needed updating. Sarah gave great advice and established new Advance Directives, POA's, and Wills. I would highly recommend.

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.
