Sarah Jonovich exceeded my expectations in every way!!!!

Sarah Jonovich is AMAZING! She got BOTH of my felony charges dropped before even having to go to court. She is experienced and very knowledgeable. I was really nervous about talking to anybody about my case but she made me feel so comfortable. She is extremely thorough and reliable, she kept me infor...med throughout the whole process. She made sure that I understood the charges, the possible outcomes of the case and what to expect. I never had an issue getting in touch with her, she returned all of my phone calls (there were many) in a timely manner and I never felt as if I was bothering her or wasting her time. Sarah is super accommodating and eager to help wherever/however it is needed! Her services are reasonably priced and she is worth EVERY penny! She truly exceeded my expectations and I am so thankful that she represented me.

Sarah Jonovich ... Tiny but Mighty!

Don't be fooled by her size, she is a bulldog! She is extremely professional and I was comfortable with her from the moment we met. She really cares about her clients and will go above and beyond. I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and panicked. Sarah kept me informed the entire time. She di...dn't pull any punches, told me what to expect and what the charges entailed. She fought hard to get my charge reduced and succeeded. I thank her everyday that I wake up in my bed and not in a jail cell.

Sarah Is An EXCELLENT ATTORNEY, Highly Experienced and Knowledgeable

Sarah Jonovich is the best attorney I have ever hired! She is fast, accurate, and cuts right to the chase. I had given Sarah approximately 1 week notice that I wished to hire an attorney before my first court date and she had the case dropped in 4 days and I did not even have to show up in court. Sh...e is always available to contact and responds immediately to any concerns you may have regarding your case. She has some of the best knowledge in the industry because she was a Prosecutor before working as a Defense Attorney, so she knows both sides of the game and handles her work very professionally. I would strongly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a highly experienced and super client friendly and supportive attorney!

Compassionate, knowledgeable and committed !!!

After arrnging consultations from other lawayers in regards to my case, I was quickly overwhelmed by their high fees and misleading advertisements. I feel very fortuante to have chosen the right one: Sarah jonovich offers unparalleled honesty and professionalism. In the beginning I was immedietaly i...mpressed by the first class legal advise given to me. My case was handles in a timely matter and she was extremely compassionate and it was very clear she isn't in the business to just collect a fee. I definitely felt her drive, tenacity and genuine good- willed nature. Due to the sensitive nature of my case I was ashamed and embarrassed, but this quickly dissipated by Sarah's intense passion for law and her very in- depth knowledge of the judicial system. There's no words in the english language to express my gratitude for everything Sarah has done for me, it was truly life changing and I am forever indebted to her and her incredibly zeal to help others and make a difference. I have recommended Sarah to family and friends.

Review for Sarah Jonovich

Sarah is a excellent attorney. She was very concerned and caring about what happened with my case. I just have 4 weeks left of a 26 week course and then I can get my record cleared because of Sarah. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good and trustworthy attorney.
