Dedicated and meticulous

Nettie leaves no stone un turned. She is dedicated to her clients and meticulous with every detail of the situation. Nettie always gave me good solid advice and was never afraid to fight on my behalf

Impeccable attorney

We had to hire Netti due to false accusations from my husbands ex. We had never met her before trial, only spoken to her by phone due to us not living where these false accusations took place. She won our case in less than an hour and proved to the judge that the accuser was a liar and was wasting ev...eryone's time and showed that the accuser had no physical evidence of The bogus claims. Netti was a very professional attorney and were glad she represented us in a court system that was not even in our home state. God bless.

Exceptional Attornety

Nettie Sabin is a wonderful and competent attorney. My situation happened very quickly and was very traumatic. My two-day old infant was taken from me due to false allegations. I was referred to Nettie by one of her colleagues, and she was quick to act. I met with her within two days of my child ...being taken, and she diligently put my case together. I was frazzled to say the least! Not only was Nettie compassionate, she was informative and supportive during this very trying time. Nettie had a lot working against her: false allegations, dishonest sworn statements and incorrect drug tests, to name a few. Yet, she stood by me, believed in me, and proved my innocence. Nettie's quick actions and smart decision making allowed me to at least have weekly visits with my baby initially. Not long after, I was “sharing” my baby with the father. Before I knew it, I had full custody of my child. Her continuous hard work, determination and attention to detail paid off - I was awarded sole custody of my child, AND the judge also ordered the father to pay half of my legal fees! I am so happy with the outcome of my situation and give Nettie so much credit - she has done an outstanding job!
