Contempt case

Sara took my case after 2 other firms & 2 years of bad divorce in Norman. My ex had broken so many laws and rules throughout the proceedings and gotten by with them. My previous lawyers were lazy took advantage of me and my ex was in contempt of court of paying my settlement for over a year. Sarah ...came onboard as my third set of attorneys and she was kick ass Bad ass. Very ethical and very professional but she is one tough Warrior. She and her assistants do their homework and they do research and they listen and pay attention to their clients . When they go to court they are prepared and they give it all they have to give. They are now the only law firm in the entire county that I would even consider hiring & my entire family feel the Same way.

Emotional Rescue

Late in life my husband and I found ourselves overwhelmed by an enexpected legal situation. As my husband's health declined from the worry and pressure, we felt vulnerable and defeated already. We needed help. On recommendation we hired Sara McFall to represent us. We looked to Sara as the one wh...o would untangle what confused us, resolve and dismiss this episode of dispair, and basically bring happiness and peace of mind back to our lives. Our expectations were inflated and unrealistic. Yet surprisingly, Sara did not disappoint. Somehow she organized the confused mess of details to produce a coherent understanding and relieve our sense of powerlessness and confusion. Sara's analytical ability allowed her to convert emotional narrative into rational items with rational solutions. Sara resolved and dismissed this horrible episode in our lives. All our hopes were focused on her during the trial phase. We had not seen the "trial lawyer" perform before. Sara was articulate, focused, and clearly well-prepared as she systematically discredited witnesses to reveal their dishonest motivations and actions. Sara destroyed them with professionalism and calm authority. Her actions that day resulted in the resolution of this terrible situation. My husband and I are now back to the business of happy enjoyment of the gifts in our lives. My husband no longer needs his medicine, and we sleep deep with relief and gratitude. Sara is analytical, unemotional, articulate, and professional. Her areas of expertise cover all aspects of those needed as a legal advocate. Her abilities would allow her to manage any legal situation with grace and excellence. We recommend her highly.

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.
