Weird Divorce

Sarah did a wonderful job of making a really ruff time in my life bearable. She was always there to answer my questions and keep me updated on progress of divorce. Sarah did a wonderful job of watching out for side of things and made sure I thought with my head and not my heart . So in ten years I wo...uldn’t be saying what was I thinking when I did that. I would recommend Sarah to any man going thru a divorce.

Ms. Easter was professional from the beginning through the end, completely walking me through all of the steps needed to complete the process of getting a divorce. I had no idea where to begin or what the process would include but she made the whole experience as painless at it could be.
