THE BEST!

Sara Marler of the Arnold Office of the Stange Law Firm has been working with my divorce to end my 30-year marriage. She consistently maintains a very high level of communication with her paralegal and of course with me as her client. Sara never hesitates to answer client questions, present legal ...options, quell my concerns, and generally direct my case to protect my financial present and financial future. She works very closely with her paralegal and law clerks as they prepare motions and other legal documentation to lower your legal bills, while still being actively involved as the case unfolds. Sara and her paralegal each keep tabs on the tickler system involved with my case, so they know at a glance when to file documentation and what the due dates are for Opposing Counsel’s expected responses, thus keeping the case from stagnating. The Stange online client website is fabulous for keeping the client instantaneously informed as motions and documents are submitted to the Opposing Counsel and/or the Court. Sara has consistently been on top of my case, making sure that all the necessary documentation is in her possession before the Court and/or the Opposing Counsel requires it. She spends very much time familiarizing herself with the specifics of a case to understand the best legal strategies that are in the short- and long-term benefits of her clients. Sara knows the staff at the St. Louis County Courthouse very well, so she understands how to function among the various work habits and personalities within the Court system. Most importantly, Sara knows how to construct her case to the Judge’s, and ultimately her client’s, favor. As my case draws to a close, I have never felt like Sara struggled to give me and my case adequate time and attention even though she simultaneously juggles multiple clients and their individual situations. Sara does not only “do her job” as your attorney, she maintains a compassionate understanding that she has your life in her hands.

If you are looking for an attorney who knows the law and is also compassionate, look no further than Sara Lynn Marler

I strongly recommend Sara Lynn Marler as an extremely professional and highly-skilled, results-oriented attorney. My divorce case was very complicated and involved a bitter custody dispute. With the help of Sara's knowledge and expertise in the area of family law, my divorce is now final and I'm co...mpletely satisfied with the outcome. Given the extremely emotional nature of this sort of experience, I found Ms. Marler to be both unwaveringly ethical and professional, while at the same time, sensitive and compassionate to my feelings. She has helped many, many others before me so with ample prior experience, she clearly understands the way a person in my position feels going through such a difficult process. She was patient, yet firm, in making suggestions and giving advice that would benefit my case. Ms. Marler proved to be a very court-savvy attorney who knew how to "play the game" in her interactions with opposing counsel and she remained intensely focused on helping me to obtain the very best outcome in my divorce. Make no mistake ... NO divorce is ever going to be easy, but Ms. Marler did her very best to keep me focused and on track in achieving my ultimate goals. In addition, her communication with me was top notch and she kept me informed of every step of the process from start to finish. Ms. Marler is very, very organized and on top of her game! If you are looking for a seriously tough attorney who is also caring and sensitive, please contact Ms. Marler to be your legal representative. You will NOT be disappointed!
