Avoid her

She will get a lone star from me, I don't even know where to start sharing my experiences. Let me just make the long story short. She was all about money, she din't explain anything to me and she knew time was a ticking bomb given I was dealing with a difficult spouse. I was under tremendous pressure... but she took the entire retainer and quit anyways without helping this was worst outcome at the worst timing. Avoid her if you can, Looking back I realize how dumb i was since there should have been so many things, precautions and petitions that could have been that would have avoided the unnecessary trauma and turmoil I went through. Absolutely avoid her.

Fantastic Pre-Nuptial Experience

With only two months left before my wedding, Sarah took on the writing of my pre-nuptial agreement. She was professional, efficient and a fantastic listener. She worked quickly to develop a pre-nuptial agreement specific to my needs. I appreciate the iterative approach she took to ensure my wishes we...re captured in the agreement while remaining fair to both parties. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to friends / family for similar services.

Skillful, thorough and professional FLA

After being divorced 3 years prior, I hired Casey Law LLC to help me with difficulties I was having terminating my income withholding order (IWO) alimony payments. During our interview, I found Sarah to be knowledgeable, professional and cordial. She clearly explained the IWO process and her ap...proach to my case. I felt confident that she was my best choice to resolve my IWO correctly and quickly. She worked on my case aggressively from the start, was persistent, dealt with others with due professionalism and sensitivity and skillfully resolved my IWO sooner than I expected and at a very reasonable fee. She did an excellent job communicating, keeping me well informed during the entire process. Even her billing system was outstanding - very clear and detailed descriptions of her work on her invoices. I could not be happier with the results. I would not hesitate to hire Casey Family Law for any future family law needs. I have already, and will continue, to recommend Sarah's services to others.

Great experience

Sarah was very helpful with helping me understand the options available to me for my post nuptial agreement. She also managed my case expeditiously, so all the parties involved were happy with the outcome.
