Great Results!

I hired Sarah for her legal services after my videographer was in breech of contract. After explaining the situation, she drafted a very well written letter stating what laws were being broken. She demanded that the contract be fulfilled and I be reimbursed. After months of trying to reach a resoluti...on on my own, she had my video and money in a a few days! Sarah is a pleasure to work with, she keeps lines of communication open, and guides you. I would recommend her to anyone needing any legal help!

Highly recommend Sarah Illg for any legal services you may need.

Sarah has been great to work with. She has always answered any concerns or questions that I have had in a very prompt and professional manner. Her advice is top notch, and she has always been very honest and open about expectations for the outcome of court. As a father fighting for custody of my ch...ildren, I was very glad to find a lawyer that wasn't trying to promise me the world just in order to make a profit off my situation. Her fees have been very reasonable, and she's been very honest about the hours she's spent working on my case. I could not be any more pleased with her services or the outcome of my situation. It's not easy to find a lawyer who truly cares about their clients, and will work so diligently and passionately as Ms Illg has handled my case. I'd highly recommend her to anyone needing family law counsel, or any other counsel within her diverse range of study.

Great co-counsel!

I recently was co-counsel in a case with Sarah Illg and Josh Teague. I was impressed with the level of hard work they put into our shared case. I intend to refer people to Sarah Illg and Josh Teague in the future, and hope to work with them again.

Amazing family law attorney

I was blindsided with a nightmare situation and I had no idea what to do or where to turn. I decided to call the firm after a positive experience with another attorney there a few years earlier to see if they did family law. My call was then returned by a fallen angel. From the first conversation Sa...rah listened to my side and I could tell she would go to war for me. She has every quality you want not just in a lawyer but a person and it's only amplified when she is doing her job. There was some urgency to my case. Literally the day we spoke she was exchanging texts with me that night. She was already working on my case and had drafted a first draft of our motion while also having the patience to be there for my questions and concerns. And I had a lot. She genuinely made me feel like my case and fighting for me was the most important thing she had going on. It was the hardest situation I've ever faced, staring at a final judgement saying I had zero rights with the 2 little guys that mean the most in this world. And having to get on a plane to go to work in less than a week. Sarah had a motion filed immediately and a hearing within a week (which seems kind of unheard of). As an imperfect being and not knowing exactly what I was up against I sort of bombarded her with every bad thing I have ever done and sensitive details of a marriage that didn't work. I never felt looked down on, I never felt I couldn't talk to her about something. She calmly told me how we would handle it and built her defense. I can't stress enough how important that is. Fortunately I've never been in any family law situation before but I can imagine it all can get kind of ugly just because of the circumstances. It feels like there is nothing more sacred and important than becoming a parent to someone. To not be judged, to have someone that understands, it means the world. Of course there is a happy ending too. I went from 8 hours supervised visitation a month to joint custody and all the time I asked for with my kids. Sarah was nimble enough to spot an opening in the hearing and brought it all together perfectly when I didn't even think a settlement and ammendment was a possibility. Had it been left to the judge I have no doubt we would have won but there would have been more hearings, more back and forth, more ugliness. But it ended with Sarah, my ex wife and I sitting at a table agreeing to the terms I was seeking and leaving it in a place where we can actually co-parent when the dust settles. I don't know what else to say. I'm not a person who writes reviews but I feel strongly about the person and lawyer Sarah is. Sarah Illg is a light in a dark place. She's trustworthy, patient, tenacious, passionate and strong. I will forever be grateful to her for it.

Simply the best

I picked Sarah at first due to location and reviews I had read. Let me just say that I am glad I did! Sarah has been a blessing. Going through a divorce is not easy but she was a great listener, compassionate, knowledgeable, thoughtful and caring. Not only is she a great lawyer but she is also a gre...at person. She truly cares about her clients and I highly recommend her.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Sarah works hard for her Clients. She fights at every turn and never gives up. I watched her trip up an investigator on the stand and get them to admit her client was innocent. Sarah is one of the most talented and bright young Attorneys I have ever met - she is definitely someone you want by your side."

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Sarah is one of the best young lawyers in Georgia. I have witnessed her achieve dismissals on cases where other lawyers would have given up. Recently, she saved an innocent medical student's career by getting seven separate warrants dismissed prior to the client getting arrested. This is a complicated process. Lesser lawyers would have not worked on the case until the defendant turned in on the warrant. Instead of waiting, Sarah sprang into action and got the warrants dismissed immediately. Her soon-to-be medical doctor will never have to explain that she was wrongfully arrested."
