Sarah Pfeiffer is a bright, hardworking attorney who excels at handling family law matters. She cares deeply about our clients. I have referred multiple people to her in the past and I plan to do so again when a friend or client needs a family lawyer in the New Orleans area.

Sarah is an excellent family lawyer. Her knowledge and experience can help a wide variety of clients with their changing family circumstances. In addition, clients will benefit from Sarah's approach toward collaboration rather than confrontation. Highly recommended!

It is rare in the field of family law that one finds an attorney that is truly empathetic and in touch with the needs of her client. Ms. Pfeiffer is very good at what she does.

Sarah brings a different approach to family law. Her collaborative practice of encouraging spouses to work together with attorneys and financial planners means less stress, lower cost, and overall better ends than the knock 'em down and drag them out divorce cases (although she can do that, too, if you ask nicely). Sarah is also highly interested in using technology to make her practice smarter and more efficient, and is always looking for ways to make family law more accessible to families who may not be able to afford traditional services. I'd recommend Sarah to anyone looking for any family law issues.
