Took off with my money

Sarah was a horrible lawyer. She took off with my money and change her number. I would NOT recommend her at all. The judge told my husband that he got him a public defender because his lawyer ran off. She got over $5000 from me. ⭐000⭐00000

Heaven Sent

Sarah is an absolute professional. When she took my husband's cases, she was respectful of his medical health and advocated for just resolutions. I would recommend hiring Sarah to anyone and will continue to chose her for myself, if I'm ever in the situation to do so again. Her resourcefulness and st...rong will is exactly what we needed to close my husband's cases. I can't thank her enough.

Order of Protection case

Mrs King was amazing to say the least. She assisted me with an Order of Protection against my child’s father. She was always prompt when I would contact her and treated me so greatly! In court, she was attentive and always made sure I was okay. In the end, we got what we wanted and I am very pleased ...with the outcome.

CEO

Sarah was very prompt, efficient, and helpful with my moving violation case. She had great suggestions that achieved what I was hoping for and saved me money. I highly recommend.

Amazing help in hard times!

Sarah was amazing in helping me through the process after my assault. I could tell she really cared about what happened to me as a person, and really wanted to help make sure I was kept safe. Her knowledge was extensive and she was great at thinking through the steps ahead. Highly recommend her if yo...u want an attorney that provides true personal service. Restores your faith in humans helping each other for the greater good.
