Excellent, Effective Attorney

Sarah has provided me with expert legal advice in both business and estate planning. She explained the complicated matters of estate planning to enable me to make the right decisions for my family and business. We've gone on to complete the work and create a great estate plan that gives me peace of m...ind. I am very happy with the legal work done, and the efficiency of the process.

Realtor

I am the caretaker for my uncle. I found out through a recent emergency visit that my Power Of Attorney had expired (we are in FL and it was written in TN) and yet I needed it that night for the ER. I contacted Sarah and she immediately gave us advice on what to do, even offered to come to the hosp...ital to get it done immediately. Fortunately my uncle was able to make his own decisions this time but we met with her in person within that same week and she did a new POA for me. Also multiple conversations on contracts with buyers and sellers. Sarah answered all of my questions most recently, and my buyers questions, regarding an REO property that sent an addendum to be signed after the offer was accepted

Great lawyer

Sarah was great!!! I would highly recommend her. My husband and I own a restaurant and she helped us get our estate in order and explained everything to us through the process. She made herself available when ever we had any questions and made sure we understood and looked out for the best interest...s of our family. I will definitely be using Sarah again in the future and recommending her to all my friends and family.

Comprehensive Estate Planning at its Best

Working with Sarah has been fantastic. Sarah has not only helped me personally in the creation and implementation of my estate plan, but also supported many of my clients with their estate planning needs. She has an abundance of knowledge and is always happy to go above and beyond. Dedicated to hon...oring her commitments and timelines, it is not uncommon to receive emails from Sarah on weekends and/or after office hours. She is extremely thorough and assumes more of a teaching role when explaining both pros and cons of the many different aspects of the planning process. Her willingness to take the time to explain each and every step gives me peace of mind that the decisions I am making today will ultimately protect not only my assets, but more importantly my loved ones in the future.

My lawyer rocks!

Sarah is not only supremely talented, but her ability to translate complicated legal issues to the common client is invaluable. My highest recommendation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
