Sara Zivian Zwickl

Sara has been a trusted advisor to me for over 5 years. She is knowledgeable, practical, thourough, and compassionate. She has helped me through settlement of two complicated estates, a divorce, and multiple real estate transactions. I don't know what I would have done without her. She is an invalua...ble resource to me and my family.

Sara worked with us in regards to a series of cases involving parenting time, obtaining rights to travel with my son and to move him out-of-state. Prior to working with Sara, the cases between my son's father and myself had been handled in a contentious manner, often feeling that previous attorneys w...ere seeking to escalate the conflict. When working with Sara, the dynamic shifted considerably with her thoughtful and knowledgeable guidance. Sara was focused on maintaining the best outcomes for my son and doing so in as smoothly and peaceful a process as possible. Sara truly kept my son's best interests in mind and worked with both parties in a respectful, calm but assertive manner, ultimately gaining the rapport and cooperation of my son's father which had not been accomplished with previous attorneys. For the first time in many years, we were able to have a calm and even-tempered conversation about our goals. Sara sought to solve as many issues with amicable agreement rather than in the courtroom as possible. Sara was readily available to consult about questions that arose and always provided very knowledgeable responses that helped put me at ease during what would have been a highly tumultuous time. Because of Sara's calm and knowledgeable approach, she was able to ultimately reach agreement between my son's father and myself, which resulted in the best outcomes for everyone involved but especially my son, which I had for many years thought was unobtainable. After the conclusion of our case and out-of-state move, Sara was conscientious in following up with us and offering support from afar with my husband's adoption of my son, a goal that we had never thought possible and was done with my son's father's support. Sara counseled us on this transition as well, providing ideas for maintaining my son's relationship with his father specified to his personality and our distance. I am so thrilled we had the opportunity to work with Sara and attribute these wonderful outcomes for our family to all of the time, work and efforts she put forth in supporting us. Sara's effectiveness is evident in our positive outcomes, her extensive knowledge, and how she personally approached our case in a highly sensitive and conscientious manner, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance or advice.
