Zero Stars

Sarah is friendly to your face and stabs you in the back. I discontinued my case to find a better attorney, in which I did. Luckily for me, with a better attorney, the judge gave me literally everything I asked for. Sarah does not work and was always late. She told me at the beginning of my case that... I should say "My child" when speaking in court, mediation and to the guardian ad litem and not "Our child". Then months later, we had a phone call and she told me while laughing that she had a little secret that she liked to tell people she didn't like to say, "My child", in court because as a parent it makes you look bad. Petty and unprofessional. On top of that, months later she sent my partner a text asking about professional information he could help her with but she addressed him as "Hey Boo". Yet again, unprofessional.

AMAZING Attorney

I was never married to my child's father, but pursuing a custody agreement through the courts proved to be the best approach. Working with Sarah was an exceptional experience. She is highly compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to advocating for the rights and best interests of the ch...ild or children involved, while also providing tailored support based on individual circumstances. Sarah communicates openly and provides constructive guidance, helping clients stay accountable when necessary. Her compassionate and non-judgmental approach is truly commendable. Overall, my experience with her was outstanding, and I would not hesitate to use her services again in the future.

Custody

Sarah was by far the most understanding, compassionate, patient person. She was honest and forthcoming on what to expect. She went above and beyond to fight for full custody of my daughter who's father was involved in a DV with her present and has not helped with her once in years. We got EVERYTHING ...I asked for and it could not have happened without her! 100% would recommend her to anyone.

If I could choose zero stars, I would

Sarah started off absolutely wonderful.. she seemed communicative, kind and caring. The second a speed bump came up in my case, things hit a 180. She seemed to intentionally just throw my case away. She didn’t fight for anything at all. My child’s father told numerous lies to the court, I had doc...umented proof of stuff and she didn’t look into any of it. And it took me weeks to get ahold of her every single time I needed to speak with her. No joke, sometimes I’d go 2-3 weeks with no email response, no call back and sometimes you couldn’t even leave a voicemail. She was absolutely impossible to get ahold of. She wa also highly unprepared at every single one of our court dates. I’d show 10-15 minutes early every court date and she’d always be 10-20 minutes late. If you’ve been through a custody case, you know how absolutely emotionally wrecking they are. I’d be a ball of anxiety walking into the court and we’d never even have time to speak before it was time for court. Mind you, there were times when she didn’t return emails or calls for weeks before this so we hadn’t even had time to speak at all about my case. My case went to trial and she canceled my trial prep TWICE. The day of my trial, she said we’d run through trial prep before we went into the court room and once again, showed up late and did absolutely zero trial prep with me at all. I guess we didn’t need it considering she bended and folded to every single thing that the other party wanted and made me feel like I’d lose my entire case if I didn’t just bow and agree with them. She’s expensive and absolutely not worth it I don’t recommend at all. Avoid her at all costs
