This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

She cares about her clients

I hired Sara for my divorce. During the free consultation, she actually asked me questions that showed me that she cared about me. She is super busy but I could always reach her paralegal and was kept informed and I got the result that I wanted.

Compassionate but Fierce

I have hired Sara twice now, and she's the just simply the best. If want someone who will truly care and fight for you and your children, Sara is the one. Hands down. Thank you so much, Sara, for all you have done for my family.

Excellent attorney

Sara represented me in a custody battle. My ex threatened to raise support every time she got mad at me, gave me the kids when it suited her and changed plans without giving me a choice. Sara Marler got me extra time with my kids, got my support lowered due to the additional time I had the kids and g...ot better conditions for the exchange. You get what you pay for - it was my kids. I wanted the best. I didn't want a bargain lawyer. I got the best.

No results in my case but they were on top of taking my money

I hired this lawyer for 1 simple task, I do admit that it would take a couple of months to do so but after a year and absolutely nothing got done. I did reach out directly to the lawyer to cancel my case and after speaking to her for 4 minutes on the phone I was charged 100 dollars. I did get that ch...arge reversed and that is the only positive thing that came from their office.

The only lawyer I will ever use

Sara Marler is hands down the best lawyer I've ever had represent me. Now she's the only lawyer I trust & will use. She's represented me in criminal cases & family law cases. She's compassionate, knowledgable, & bottom line she gets it done. She will fight for your rights & she will fight to ensure a... fair judgement. I've known & used her for 8 years now I can honestly say she's phenomenal & anytime someone I know needs a lawyer she's the only lawyer I'll recommend. This is true in any state, you get what you pay for. So although prices are a little high it's well worth it. I'm thankful I have her number in my contacts.

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.
