Highly recommended and very professional!

Sara Turner has been my attorney for the last year for a child custody case. She has set the bar high in terms of professionalism. She thinks outside of the box and is very thorough in her counsel. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding attorney!

Excellent!

I had a great consultation with Sara and we ended up using her for a sensitive criminal case. Sara handled the charge with discretion and grace. I can't recommend her firm enough!

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.
