Fearless, Passionate, Smart. This lawyer knows what she is doing.

Lydia Jackson Sartain's Lawyer Endorsements
"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!"
