Divorce lawyer

Sally is a very competant lawyer who kept me well informed throughout my divorce. She not only fought in and out of the courtroom for me but also for my children. She is clear, precise and caring.

Sally is Excellent!

Sally was the first and only lawyer I hired when I was seeking a divorce and primary placement of my young children. She was extremely knowledgeable, understanding, professional, and prepared. I was able to obtain the exact results that myself and children needed by choosing Sally as my lawyer. Sh...e guided me through the entire process and truly listened to my concerns and needs. Her response time to emails and phone calls was excellent. I would absolutely return to her if needed in the future.

She was a fair lawyer

She is basic a fair good lawyer. However, I feel she should change her position with Racine county Human service after my son loss a pound of weight from 13 lbs to 12 lbs in a county foster home at one year old. She did feel it would not be in my best position as my GAL. She did a fair job return my ...legal custody to me at least.
