The best of the best! Can't thank her enough

I trusted Sarah with my life when I suddenly found myself in a terrifying situation that had life-changing ramifications. She delivered, and then some. Putting my future in her hands was one of the best decisions I've made, hands down. It's hard to think where I'd be today if I'd ended up choosing a ...different attorney. The legal aid her and her wonderful assistant Robin provided was top notch. No matter how hopeless things looked, they went above and beyond to make themselves available, reassure me, and keep me informed every step of the way. Sarah was forthright and professional, but most importantly she truly cared. She never sugarcoated things. And thanks to her assistant Robin, who I was able to reach at practically any time in the day, I was never left in the dark. If you're like me and never in a million years imagine finding yourself in serious and life-threatening legal trouble, I can't recommend Sarah enough. Just days after contacting her, she met with me personally and ensured I was aware of the nature of the potential charges I faced. I fully expected my ordeal to last for many long and grueling months. Yet within a few weeks, Sarah gathered all the evidence she could and put together an excellent defense on my behalf. The result? No charges were filed... and the matter was put to rest. To quote Sarah verbatim when she gave me the good news over the phone, I'm a very fortunate man. I couldn't put it any better myself and I owe it all to her.

Finding competent representation

It is my personal experience with Ms.Kovoor that gives me the up close and personal factual kowledge to provide this review. If you consider a case with KOVOOR, keep the good records, document everything, discuss whom is going to be paying for what and most important get everything in writing !...!! In my opinion Ms.Kovoor failed the following; possess the legal knowledge, thoroughness and skill to provide ME with competent representation, and did NOT make all necessary reasonable preparations for trial or negotiations the defense knew it. I write in hopes NO one has to experience what I had to endure, my life has been forever changed because of it.

I trusted Sarah with my child, and I was not let down.

After speaking with numerous attorneys about a very delicate situation involving my child, I came across Sarah. From the first call to her assistant, I felt that my child would be in good hands with Sarah and I knew she was the attorney I wanted to hire. Sarah met with my family after hours o...n the same day of my initial call. At that visit, she alleviated a lot of stress by being knowledgeable and compassionate. Her compassion never subsided. Sarah was always accessible to discuss any matter that I had at any time. She was understanding of my concerns no matter how trivial they may have been. She always made me feel that my child’s situation was as important to her as it was to me. I would recommend Sarah to anyone that is looking for an attorney that has integrity and will work tirelessly for you. I trusted Sarah with my child, and I was not let down.

Knowledgeable and Skilled Attorney

My husband was arrested on a Friday evening and I did not think that I would find an attorney for the Monday morning arraignment over the weekend. But not only did I speak to Sarah Kovoor several times on Sunday but I also spoke to her paralegal Robin, which gave me an appreciated easiness about the... Monday court appearance. The charges against my husband included a Misdemeanor Domestic Violence charge and a Felony Menacing charge. Sarah, knew the law and requested a dismissal of the charges based on lack of evidence for the one charge and wrongful filling on the second charge. There is a little more to it, but both charges have subsequently been dismissed. But I also want to speak of Sarah's integrity. Most attorneys that I have had involvement with have been 'bottom line' attorneys. All they are interested in is the biggest payday and that's who they give their priority to. We were not Sarah's biggest payday (she actually charged us much less than we were expecting) but she still made us feel valuable and important and we felt like our case was of the highest priority to her. All of our emails and calls were answered timely and she and Robin never seemed irritated no matter how many times that we called with questions. Sarah is a GREAT asset to have on your side if you are looking for an attorney that fights for the truth and doesn't take the easy way out.

Exceptional Attorney!

I can't say enough good about Sarah Thomas Kovoor. I have relied upon her for representation several times. Every time she returned my calls within a timely manner, and answered my questions with expertise. She was prompt, prepared, and eager to use her trial experience to leverage a favorable outcom...e. I have had the opportunity to work around many attorneys in my professional career. Sarah ranks at the top. I can't emphasize enough, if you are facing a legal issue of any nature, it is in your best interest to give Sarah a call. She truly cares about each and every client, and goes the extra mile to fight for their best outcome.
