Outstanding representation

I highly recommend Sarah Goding. Throughout my complex custody and divorce process, Sarah Goding demonstrated exceptional knowledge of Virginia family law and unwavering dedication to protect the best interests of my children. She helped me navigate a long and contentious process with clarity, thorou...ghness, and patience. I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate attorney.

Excellent Attorney for Military Divorce and Custody

Sarah Goding is a skilled attorney whose knowledge and ability helped achieve the best possible results in a Military Divorce, then again during a custody dispute (on behalf of the active duty Father). At every turn she understood the end goal and how to best maneuver to achieve those goals. Her ad...visement and recommendations resulted in success in the custody pursuit, and in a significantly better position during the divorce. During the lengthy processes, she adeptly outpaced the opposing counsel at every turn. Sarah Goding is the representation you want if you desire successful results in your case.

Great Lawyer

Was extremely helpful, never gave me the run around or feed me any lines. Sarah walked me through the process, and put me at ease. Sarah was constantly professional and worked for my best interest. I would definitely hire Sarah again.

Leader in the DoD Sector

Sarah is an outstanding Attorney. She was able to settle my out of state alimony case saving me $10s of thousands of dollars and years of stress. I am so grateful for taking on and settling my difficult case.

Divorce wasn't easy, I'm glad Sarah was my lawyer and not my wife's!

I chose this law office on the recommendation of a friend who went through a divorce just before I did, and I am grateful for my friend's own misery (we both laugh now about our not so fun times). Although I wouldn't wish a divorce on anyone (stick it out and try every day to make it work, or until ...about the sixth time she tells you she wants a divorce!), for my marriage there wasn't another option. As miserable a time as I had through more than two years of separation and divorce proceedings, I am happy that Sarah and her team were with me. Sarah always ensured my interests were protected, and her legal advice was always spot on. We never encountered any legal setbacks other than spending more time in court than expected because of the other side's actions. She was proactive in every way possible, and seemed to be a step ahead of the other side. With Sarah's help I finalized my divorce on my terms and gave up nothing that mattered to me. Thank you!

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.
