Katie was the stable, unmovable advocate for my divorce proceedings that encompassed international, interstate and military jurisdiction challenges and also required working with opposing counsel that was often belligerent and frequently non-responsive. At each turn, Katie engaged opposing counsel with intelligence and professionalism, but also was doggedly persistent in ensuring my rights and my assets were protected. There is deep truth in the adage "you get what you pay for." Katie's efforts to ensure my assets were protected throughout the divorce proceedings and subsequently in the final filing were worth every penny.

Detailed, Decisive, Diligent, Dedicated
Katie represented me in my divorce case, which required attention to many fine details. She was A+ in her knowledge and interest in putting it all together and was extremely decisive on her approach. She was/is diligent at every step and has a unique quality of demonstrating dedication, not only to me as her client, but to her overall overall law practice. It gives me great pleasure in knowing that I picked the BEST attorney.

Outstanding Lawyer
Katie Sager was absolutely fantastic handling my case. I hired Hertz/Sager to take over my prior counsel. Katie was outstanding and professional from start to finish. Katie took the time to truly understand my case and every nuance around my situation (always taking the extra step in diligence). Additionally, she was always clear explaining every aspect of the process and creative around strategic solutions. Her support and depth of knowledge prepared me for every possible scenario. While I felt extremely comfortable and confident knowing I was very protected, I was incredibly appreciative of the humane/respectful nature, while maintain firm positions on our side. While going through depositions, there is no better counsel I could ask for. I would highly recommend Katie and her results-driven firm to anyone looking for a genuine and knowledgeable team.

Attentive. Available. Knowledge. Friendly. Good outcome.
I hired attorney Sager to handle my divorce. She was successful getting the judge to agree to the prenuptial agreement and to prevent having to disclose finances which were not included in the prenup. She carefully worded the marital agreement that my ex wife and I finally signed. The whole process took only a few months.

True profesional who looks out for her clients
Hired Katie to represent me while making modification to my child timesharing/ modification of child support. As a Military member dealing with court documents can be difficult and time consuming. Katie and her team made sure everything was handled and kept me informed on the status of my case. I truly felt she always was looking out for my best interests. After months of going through the process I felt relief that I now have a good timesharing schedule thanks to Katie and her team. I highly recommend hiring Katie Sager and the Hertz-Sager law firm if you want a team that will work hard for you and lookout for your best interest.

Thanks for everything!
Katie helped me navigate my divorce. She's not afraid to tell me the truth and put my emotions in check. It was a hard process but Katie remains on task and got me out of court and settled to terms with the best possible outcome.

Hertz and Sager are the Best of the best
Katie is a truly special person. I shopped around for legal representation, and I immediately knew that she was IT. She's very sharp and sophisticated. She's a class act. She shines brightest in the courtroom. She's of utmost professionalism. She did what was best for both me AND my family, and I'm forever grateful to her! She has a team of all-stars that complement her perfectly, and have helped me through every twist and turn; nothing throws them off their game. They couldn't have made a tragic, unique, and delicate situation easier for me. I'm so happy that won, and also with how we won. I agree with the previous comment, "Worth every penny." Thank you, Katie, Brittney, and Maria for your expertise, patience, and kindness!

Excellent Job
I first met with Katie and Law Partner Christy Hertz in December 2018 to discuss allegations of parent/child alienation that were filed against me by my ex-husband (and father) of my then 12 year old daughter (now 14). For a number of varied reasons this resulted in a very difficult and largely unforeseen lengthy process of litigation that also involved many other different elements to engage and comply with as part of the Judicial process. I did not know of the law firm Hertz:Sager prior to 2018 and went to them following some extensive online research and posted reviews. Many people will recognize that high quality and respected legal representation is not always easy to find whilst being cost effective at the same time, however on this occasion it was entirely worthwhile. Katie is very knowledgeable, astute, diligent and always had a plan. She was subsequently able to achieve a highly positive result on the actual day before the set Trial date. The Litigation process (which that lasted for almost 2 years) proved to be emotionally and financially draining, although I cannot stress enough the importance of having someone like Katie and the rest of the team at Hertz:Sager provide their invaluable support and guidance. Katie has a very positive attitude, she is an excellent Litigator, she will not make false promises, yet will consistently look to a achieve the very best and realistic result possible. My case is an very good example of that! Highly recommended and thank you to every single one of the team at Hertz:Sager!

Very Dedicated to the Client
During my long, dragged-out divorce (over five years), Katie went from being newly-hired at the firm to being a partner. She was a quick learner and very organized and diligent. She was a pleasure to work with and always available when needed. She was very kind, friendly and patient yet tough in court during the hearings. I highly recommend her.

Divorce of Foreign Citizen
Katie was very dedicated during the overall process of about 480 days. She was very diligent. As I foreign, she did many surveys laws involving a couple where one of the two persons are not American citizen. Also, she was very quick in dealing with the opposing lawyers and very firm in preparing responses. All positions taken during the long process where confirmed in the Court. I recommend her for divorce cases.

When A Man Needs A Woman...
Katie was a VERY patient attorney when I came to all aspects of my case and mediation. It was my first time requesting legal representation of any kind. One of the reasons I engaged a female attorney was the belief that she would better understand a woman's feelings during a divorce case. I wanted what was more than fair for my ex-spouse. The mediation agreement drawn up was all I had wanted and hoped for.

A Brilliant Attorney, with a Most Wonderful Caring Attitude
A divorce is difficult. Having the right attorney is essential. My divorce took over 15 months to conclude. It was messy. I was represented by two attorneys, one of them being Katie. For my most critical hearing of the divorce, it was Katie that took the lead role. We won, the hearing!!! From that point on, the entire divorce started to turn in my favor. Had I lost that hearing, the results of my divorce would most likely have been different. Throughout this hearing (and others), I was impressed by Katie's grasp of the law and the focus on the critical issues at hand. The opposing attorney shrunk in her presence as the hearing went on. She took control of the court, the judge listened to her every word.
Throughout my divorce I had numerous calls and meetings with Katie. She was always professional and demonstrated a genuine interest in me as a person. I confess that I looked forward to speaking with her, as I soon came to find out that I would only feel better after doing so. She has the ability to make the complex simple and easy to understand. She is a great attorney, a wonderful person and I highly recommend her.
