Maybe the best DUI lawyer ever?

I’m writing a few years after I hired Sarah, I’m sure there’s other good lawyers around, I’m sure other lawyers can do a good job for you but from a guy who was completely screwed and I mean completely screwed, Sarah took my case and got me an outcome I never thought possible. She is the best possibl...e attorney you can hire. It’s been about 4 years since I hired her and I’m still amazed at how she played everything out, unbelievable, she is what anyone could ask for in a lawyer.

Exceptional

My family and I are forever indebted to Ms. Lockwood. From consultation to resolution (dismissal without prejudice within two weeks of retainer) she remained professional, understanding, and resolute. She was consistently straightforward, held no punches, providing us with information and her... legal advice in a respectful manner.  Her candor and sincerity were both immediately evident, and did not waiver. Perhaps most importantly was the fact that she approached our case with an open mind, actively listening to our story rather than arriving at preconceptions (which was the case with a number of other attorneys in town with whom we consulted). In short, the best money our family has ever spent.  We truly cannot thank Ms. Lockwood and her staff enough.

Professional, Trustworthy, Knowledgeable, and Dedicated

Ms.Lockwood handled my family's case with immense dedication and knowledge.  Our case was dismissed within two weeks of our retaining Ms.Lockwood. Not only was Ms.Lockwood compassionate and understanding, she was an amazing advocate for my family when we needed one the most. I cannot recommend Ms....Lockwood enough. She is an asset to the profession.

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.
