Sarah Marie Haberland

Sarah will win you over effortlessly in the consult - you’ll feel so confident in her and her abilities and that she’s going to be your advocate, even fiercely so if needed. But buyer beware: you’ve just been legally love bombed. After your consult, maybe you’ll get a few decently responsive emails, ...maybe you’ll even get a return phone call…maybe. But don’t bet on it. Because you’re officially in the upside down now, just settle on in. So before you even think about booking that consult, let me help you better understand what you absolutely will and won’t get. What you will get: long periods of literally no response - not to emails, messages you leave with her receptionists, or voicemails left; untimely, brief, incomplete, confusing, and often outright contradicting responses; constantly rescheduled, pushed back, or canceled appointments; complete lack of preparation for calls or meetings with you or for any aspect of your trial to the extent that basic details of your case are wholly unknown (well actually, they’ve just been totally forgotten, over and over again, leaving you seriously wondering if you somehow accidentally stumbled upon the human version of Dory and hired her as your attorney) - and major details - you know the specifics of your case and the foundation of your argument? - nah, guys. Big nope . It’s just a “let go and let God” thing at this point because those won’t ever be discussed let alone utilized; incorrect, incomplete, and inaccurate motions and filings fraught with embarrassing mistakes, and that’s *IF* you’re lucky enough to get something filed and filed on time; crucially missed deadlines and costly delays; no follow-up whatsoever on anything the other party is doing, requesting, filing, or saying; late and empty-handed arrival to any element of your trial; absolutely zero strategy - we’re just flying blind guys. Like it’s a real fingers-crossed, nail biter, edge of your seat kind of a situation, so pro tip for my nervous sweaters: hydrate and bring your backup deodorant along, and never underestimate the way some face blotters can really come in clutch; lots and lots of wide eyed, deer in the headlights types of gazes where responses should be, especially during trial; and finally, you will positively feel unseen, unheard, unimportant, and abandoned during an already overwhelming and vulnerable time, and all while paying invoice after invoice while nothing ever gets done. What you won’t get: anything that even remotely resembles the outcome you want or the effort required to get there; sound legal advice; clarity or follow through, in any sense - like ever. For anything. This is just another one we give the wheel to Jesus on, kids - it just is what it is; and in summation: an attorney that does not serve anything that comes anywhere near the vicinity of your best interests, because let’s be so for real here for a minute - how could she possibly when she doesn’t know anything about you, your case, your needs, where you’re willing to compromise vs where you need to hold hard boundaries, your desired outcome, or essentially any other element that’s relevant and necessary to actually representing you. So if you’re a skimmer and hopped on down to here and you’ve read nothing else, read this: pay attention to the other reviews that are all saying these same things and take heed. Sarah will leave you high and dry, puts in zero effort, lacks all follow through, is the human embodiment of Dory weirdly mixed with the dog from Up, and when you’re ADHD is seemingly on a 10 - it’s all the more reason for layers of preparedness, and you won’t even get one. You’ll feel frustrated, embarrassed, and bamboozled and you’ll wish you sifted through the clearly inflated and honestly questionable positive reviews and took these cautionary ones more seriously and a slogan change is most definitely in order. Scammed By Sarah? Silence by Sarah? Spent by Sarah? Honestly, just spare yourself from Sarah.

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.

Haberland law has been amazing to work with. I hired Sarah Haberland for my divorce after spending 5 years with another attorney in Lucas county. Sarah’s knowledge of the law is above and beyond any attorney in this area. Sarah explained the process of the court system, so I knew exactly what to expe...ct. Sarah was honest and showed compassion throughout the divorce. I would Strongly recommend Haberland Law.

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.
