Sara Mayo Vig's Lawyer Endorsements
"We met working together on parallel cases for an incredibly difficult client. She had been admitted to the bar less than a year. The client, the prosecutor and the judge all tried to push her around. She stood her ground and represented that client with skill and loyalty. Sara has the brain of a scholar, the judgment of a field general and the heart of a Lion. I sometimes pick her brain and often refer her difficult cases. She is an extraordinary practitioner. Proud to call her both friend and colleague."
"I endorse this lawyer. Sara is an experienced and dedicated attorney, well-versed in many areas of the law."
"Sara represents a rare kind of lawyer that is both very technically skilled at practicing law and also empathetic and understanding to her clients. Sara is my "go to" referral lawyer in the central Illinois region and I highly recommend anyone seeking counsel to call her first. The Springfield legal community is much enriched with Sara's presence!"
