Her common-sense approach guided us through planning an uncomplicated transition of assets to our children, thereby protecting our assets and avoiding probate. ... She is also a delightful, friendly person—someone we enjoyed visiting with during our meetings. If you are looking for a trustworthy attorney to plan a straightforward will and/or trust, we would highly recommend Sally Rajnoha!

Anxiety Relief

After getting my last speeding ticket, the anxiety set it! Thankfully it didn't last long. I called Sally and after the first few seconds she put me at ease. I sent her my ticket by mail, e-mail was also an option, but I'm old-school. After she got it, she called me and explained the next step goin...g forward. It was really that easy. Obviously, I don't enjoy getting tickets, but I do love knowing that I have Sally to help when I do. Thank you for all your help!

Case & Rajnoha

The first time I spoke with Sally by phone for a consultation, I noticed that she listened attentively and actively as I explained my situation. At that point, I knew she was the lawyer I needed to represent me. Her legal skill was exceptional and when necessary she dug for the info that she needed... to prove my case. Even when she had another case and her partner had to come to court with me, he was very well versed on my case. When I was served, I was very nervous, but Sally and her paralegal, Jennifer, put me at ease throughout this legal process. Not only are they hardworking, smart, and always prepared, but they are skilled and knowledgeable.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Going through any legal proceeding is scary and intimidating at times, but we always try to keep our client informed and educated so as to ease the fear during the process.

Too easy

By far the best and easiest experience I've had with an Attorney. She was sweet and caring. I felt like I actually mattered to her. I've tried TV lawyers, and those traffic ticket specialty places, I never will again!. Those places made me feel like a number and not a person! Sally and her staf...f made me feel like I was important to them and they kept me informed every step of the way. I would definitely suggest using her. If I ever need an attorney again or someone I know does, I will recommend Sally without hesitation.
