Sarah Broader is a gem of an Attorney!!

I was extremely satisfied with the way Sarah handled my divorce. Not only was she extremely professional, she displayed a great deal of knowledge and patience. She is to be commended for her attentiveness and negotiation abilities. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a highly competent and cap...able attorney.

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.
