There is no finer attorney than Lydia Sartain. She is brillant in and out of the courtroom. Her knowledge is unsurpassed. I have called on Lydia for several different legal matters. With great care she takes the time to address my legal needs. I feel confident knowing she is my stalwart. There are ma...

Failed to "have my back" as arrogantly promised me. She spewed vile language and had no regard for my feelings leading to a parting of the ways. My question now is "did she take a payoff" My advice is to run away as fast as you can from her! Again,, this is only my opinion, based on my case. Ty.
Regrettably people who have suffered chronic domestic abuse have difficulty with trust. Also it is oftentimes hard to make decisions and stick with them. Lashing out and blaming others is common. I wish this person the very best and hope they find the support they need and deserve.

Lydia has completely changed my outlook on attorneys and the court process. I came into her office expecting to be stressed and unhappy when I left due to previous encounters with attorneys, but I am very happy to say that what I experienced was quite the opposite! Lydia and her assistant Dawn Smith ...

My husband and I hired Lydia after having an attorney that never listened to a word we said, and made more trouble then helped.

I would highly recommend Lydia Sartain. I had a QDRO from a divorce that needed to be made final. Ms Sartain and her staff made this process stress free. Ms Sartain answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. Quick to respond to messages left and get things done. Thank You, Thank You !!
"Lydia Sartain is an exceptional Family Law Attorney and fierce litigator. Her stealth background as a longtime District Attorney makes her dangerous in a courtroom. Also, an exceptional Mediator and colleague."
"Lydia is an excellent mediator who knows how to help the parties move to common ground and resolve their differences."
"I have been opposing counsel on several cases with Mrs. Sartain over several years. She has always been professional, ethical and courteous with me as we work through cases. Like me, she initially approaches cases with an intent to settle the case (as beneficial to her client as possible) to keep her client's litigation expenses down. However, when a case can't be settled, she has no hesitation to "take the gloves off". And she is always a very worthy opponent."
"Lydia was a great mediator. She worked well with both parties. Our case was lingering for three years and she managed to get in there and settle it in three hours. I would use Lydia as a mediator anytime!"
