Horrible

Hiring Sarah was a colossal mistake! My divorce agreement is so bad people do not believe the circumstances of my outcome. A disgrace to the profession

The best!

Sarah represented me through my divorce. She was professional and understanding. I could not ask for a better lawyer!

Highly recommend!!

Sarah helped me through a difficult divorce. I cannot say enough good things about her! She made everything easy to understand and walked me through the whole process. She was professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her.

Do not recommend at all

Sarah represented me throughout a very ugly divorce. She was unprofessional with me on several occasions. She seems to let her temper and her emotions take precedent over treating her clients with respect. I was more afraid to speak to her then use her as an advocate. The latest encounter I have had ...with her which hopefully is my last she screamed at me in the hallways of the courthouse loud enough for several people to hear. Other lawyers came to me to ask me if I was doing ok after watching the way she disrespected me. She has left a bad taste in my mouth for using any lawyer in the future and putting the trust of my livelihood in someone else's hand. Divorce is a difficult process, and when you put your life in someone else's hand and they act on pure emotions when dealing with you it can be a very scary thing. That being said I wouldn't trust someone who can not manage to stay professional and demand fees for representing you as a "professional." I never felt like I was a priority. She was always too busy in court to make sure i felt comfortable with what was going on. Never fully explained anything to me. I would not recommend Mrs. Vahey to anyone.

Would HIGHLY Recommend

Sarah is a very knowledgeable attorney, she explained things to an average joe like me so I can understand. She has always gotten back to me within in a day or two to answer my questions and explain what is going on. Very thorough and represents clients case well in from of Judge.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Vahey both in law school, and then seeing her "in the trenches" in courtrooms throughout Will County after we both graduated and became attorneys. My understanding is that Ms. Vahey has gained litigation experience in her current firm in a variety of different areas of practice, although I most often see her in family law court, helping her clients navigate through issues such as obtaining spousal maintenance and collecting child support. I believe Ms. Vahey to be a good lawyer, and a solid choice as counsel, particularly if a client's case is being heard at the main courthouse in Joliet, where her firm is well known and highly regarded."
