Excellent, Thorough and Compassionate

Jeff Marshall and Sarah Privette represented me in a highly contentious divorce following an abusive 30-year marriage with a malignant narcissist. Sarah and Jeff are extremely knowledgeable in Family Law and they provided sound guidance every step of the way. They were highly effective during mediati...on with successful resolution of my case that appeared destined to go to court. They gave sound advice based on practicality and their wealth of experience. Sarah also successfully represented me in a Contempt Case filed by my ex-husband. With a history of abuse, it was extremely difficult for me to go through much of the legal process. Jeff and Sarah were patient and understanding with enough of a stern push to help me be able to complete the work for my case. With Sarah’s background in Domestic Violence cases, she was extremely compassionate and provided the support and reassurance needed to get me through both cases. She is a thorough and dynamic litigator who covered all bases which led to a successful outcome. Sarah’s experience, compassion and skill were unmatched by other attorneys I interviewed prior to choosing Marshall and Taylor. Her preparation and reassurance gave me the confidence needed to effectively testify in court when a year earlier, I could barely speak on the phone about my case. I only wish I had found Sarah years ago. There are no words to adequately convey the appreciation I have for Sarah and Jeff. If you are going through a divorce and especially if you have endured emotional, verbal, physical or financial abuse during your marriage, Sarah and Jeff are a team you can trust. They will do their very best for you while unwittingly being instrumental in restoring your strength and dignity. I highly recommend Sarah Privette and Jeff Marshall.

Sarah Privette Review

My husband and I retained the services of Sarah Privette at the law firm of Stauff, Gross, and Privette, PLLC during a very difficult time in our lives. We could not have had a better experience and outcome. Sarah is very competent, kind, and a great communicator. I felt as if she became a friend, as... well as being our attorney. She truly seemed to have our best interests at heart. Sarah capably explained our options, help us set reasonable expectations, and worked diligently to achieve them. I always felt comfortable calling or emailing whenever I had any questions concerning our case. Sarah’s response was always prompt and clear. My husband and I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone who needs assistance from an attorney who specializes in Family Law. We would not hesitate to call her again, but obviously hope we will not require her professional services very frequently. Her assistant, Jennifer is also very capable and pleasant.
