When we founded our company, we retained Sarah for assistance with SDVOSB certification and to help answer/address general legal questions. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable about the SDVOSB certification process and very responsive to ad hoc questions. We would recommend her services to any small, ve...teran-owned business owners who are looking for solid, legal advice.

Sarah's experience, attentiveness, responsiveness, and attention to detail sets her aside from the rest. Her level professionalism and caring made our VA CVE experience smooth and easy. Our firm came back with an approval in a minimal amount of time. Highly recommend her services for VA CVE Verificat...ion.

Sarah has skillfully guided me through the traps of the VA's ever-changing CVE processes…[and] my SDVOSB was timely verified for my fourth time thanks to Sarah's guidance and... oversight. Sarah has also be accurately assisting and assessing my Patent and Trade applications. Again, extremely skillful in navigating the maze of patent and trade law. Additionally, Sarah is helping me with my disability appeals and notice of disagreement...again, spot on with veteran’s disability claims processing. Highly recommended to all, especially veterans...Sarah is a true advocate of veterans and small businesses alike.

I first attempted to obtain my company's SDVOSB certification through the CVE without council, assuming that being a Service Disabled Veteran the process would be a "gimme." However, the process proved to be very intensive and eventually led to my having to withdraw our VetBiz application during the ...pre-decision process. The decision to withdraw and seek council was due to a letter we received from the CVE which was approximately eight pages long and very intimidating – clearly we were/are an eligible SDVOSB (evidenced by our receiving the status,) but we had trouble making heads or tails of the CVE’s detailed regulations and endless requests for clarification letters. Fortunately, after meeting Sarah at a trade show in St. Louis I knew that we had to have her on board with us to navigate the CVE's intricate/complex verification process. Once Sarah came on board with us, she went right to work clearly identifying our issues (many with our corporate documents) and explaining how we should address them in order to satisfy the CVE. After receiving our approval determination shortly thereafter, we were excited but not entirely surprised due to our absolute confidence that Sarah would lead us successfully through the process.
