Lawyer who cares

If you seek a compassionate lawyer, look no further. Today, we were granted in our asylum case, thanks to Sarah's dedicated guidance through the immigration court process. She meticulously prepared documents, kept us informed, and provided invaluable support, addressing all our questions along the wa...y.

Best in the US

We were pleasantly surprised to find a lawyer who cares. Sarah works very hard for her clients. She pays attention to detail. You get the sense that you are her only client. Detail and empathy are clearly the most important ingredients for success. And success is what she achieved for us in my w...ife's immigration case. We are forever indebted to Sarah.

She is an awesome immigration lawyer!

I retained her for a friend with asylum needs. She is extremely detailed in preparing the filing; helpful and thorough and down to earth as well. She does care. Not your run-of-the- mill "take your money and run" immigration lawyer. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

GOOD LAWYER

The first and foremost quality about Sarah that I truly appreciate is that she is very approachable. I don't have to think twice before sending her an email about any of my immigration questions and rest assured she will reply back. That I feel is so important when you are dealing with the complexiti...es of immigration law.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
