Excellent lawyer

I hired Sarah and she was the backbone I needed to financially protect myself against my ex. I highly recommend her.

Disappointed

I hired Sarah for a divorce. Her advice to move back into the house caused unnecessary conflict and resulted in greater court costs. She nearly bankrupted me. Her advice was counter productive. I would not hire her again.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience was not a positive one. Divorce cases can be incredibly complex, and strategic decisions—such as returning to the marital home—are made based on the specific facts and legal context at the time. While I always aim to act in my clients’ best interests, I understand that outcomes can be difficult and emotionally charged. I appreciate your perspective and wish you the best moving forward.

If you want a honest lawyer who doesnt beat around the bush and tell you what you want to hear hire Sarah.

I would recommend Sarah as your family lawyer. Before i hired Sarah i worked with a previous lawyer who would not compare to the care Sarah put into her work. You could tell you werent just another client. She was always looking out for my best interest. Sarah always kept me informed with email or p...hone calls about the case. Also, her responsivness on emails was fairly quick. With Sarah there never seemed to be a delay in keeping the case going, getting the job done, providing documents to courts and opposing counsel, or getting on other attorney's for requested documents. She was honest and told you what she felt the out come of something would be. She wouldnt tell you what you want to hear to make you happy. If you want an aggressive, honest, trustworthy, caring, and informative lawyer hire Sarah.

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.
