Posted by Donald | June 11, 2013 | Estate Planning

An excellent lawyer who I would highly recommend.

Sarah has handled several cases for me and my family in the areas of estate planning, wills and trusts over the past 10 years. Sarah has always been responsive to our needs and always has impressed us with her dedication and commitment to our specific issues. Our family appreciate's Sarah's experti...se in this area and we have the utmost trust in Sarah to take care of us in our legal needs. We have referred many of our friends to Sarah over the past 10+ years she has represented us.

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.
