Excellent and Professional

I've worked with Sarah several times and she has been nothing but helpful and professional. She really takes the time to be thorough and answer all of my questions. I've had nothing but great results and would highly recommend her for her services!

Couldn’t ask for more!

Sarah went above and beyond what typical attorneys often do. She knows what she is doing and did a thorough job explaining everything. She took time out of her personal day when I had questions and showed she actually cared. Highly recommend!

Amazing!

Sarah takes her time to listen to what her clients needs are. She’s supportive, understanding and highly educated. I felt her firm direct approach with the other party to be reassuring and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance!

Wonderful Plaintiff Attorney for Unisured Motorists Claim

We were referred to Sarah Wagar Hickman, and we live in New Orleans. She met us at the coffee shop in Metairie, and she was available to email and text. I highly recommend her to you. She got our full uninsured motorists amount with $5,000.00 more for medicals. She helped my mom that was 75 years... old. If we need an attorney in the future, I would use her firm again. She always returned calls and emails promptly. You will be impressed with her and her team. She is professional, and her team is also professional. You will not be disappointed! She felt like family.

Client

I called Ms Hickman with a desperate plea for legal help with a very short timeline. After working with an insurance company for 12 months for damages caused by their insured driver, they decided not to come to an agreement with me only hours before state deadlines. I was only asking for fair compens...ation, but they chose to pay nothing to me by the end of that day. I made one call and that was to Ms Hickman. I knew she would have the knowledge to bring them to task. She far exceeded my ability to deal with legal issues. She stood up for fair compensation for me and i will hire her again.

Avvo Rating

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.
