Motorcycle Accident

This was the first time I have ever been in an accident and I could not have navigated this tough situation without Sarah’s guidance and expertise. She was compassionate, caring, and most knowledgeable throughout the two year long suit. She kept me informed and assured me every step of the way. She w...ould check on me and my healing journey often and I know she really cares about my wellbeing. I would recommend her to everyone I know. I am truly grateful to her and the whole team! Thank you!

Professional, Personal, Proficient, Capable, Competent, Caring

Sarah helped me with a difficult personal injury case and helped secure a fair settlement. During the process she made sure that I was consulted and kept informed during the entire process. As the title of this review states, Sarah is a professional, proficient, capable, competent, personal, and cari...ng attorney. I give her my highest recommendation.

The long road

After trying to navigate social security for a year on my own I decided to make an appointment with Sarah who a friend recommended. I liked her from our first meeting she was upfront with me about my case which was what I was looking for in an attorney. She is a true professional and a great lawyer, ...the road was long and hard with Social Security, but Sarah was always available for any help or questions I may have had. In the end, she won my case for me. I would highly recommend her if you need legal assistance.

Fabulous Personal Injury Lawyer

Almost two years ago I almost lost my 53 year old husband in a near fatal motorcycle crash. It was what you read about every day - an elderly man turned in front of him and my husband hit the passengers side of his car. While in the ICU with him, I realized right away that we needed a lawyer, as ...the at fault drivers insurance adjuster was showing up wanting to talk to us already. My husband wasn’t even aware yet of what had happened to him!! Thank God we found Sarah Raaymakers. Her and her legal assistant, Casey Wilson, came to his room and talked us through everything - telling us what we needed to do and what to expect. They were available anytime we needed them and kept us updated on a regular basis. When you are doing all you can to keep your husband alive, and then out of the wheelchair and walking again - the last thing you need to be worrying about is all the medical bills and auto insurance issues. They took ALL of this off my plate so that I could focus on his care - both physical and emotional. I honestly do not believe we would have gotten through all of this if we had hired any lawyer besides Sarah Raaymakers. She lets you know that you are her priority and she is going to work long and hard to take care of you. Sarah and Casey were a true blessing and we will be eternally grateful for all of their help. If you want a lawyer that truly cares about her clients - you cannot go wrong with hiring Sarah Raaymakers.
