Very High Praise for Sara and Her Team

Divorce is inherently confusing, scary and difficult. I initially hired a lawyer based on reviews and found that I needed more guidance, reassurance and information. I got all of that and more when I called Sara. Her intuition, attention to detail and professionalism cannot be praised enough. From th...e first phone consultation, I knew I needed to fire the other guy and hire her immediately. She is thoughtful, considerate and always mindful of the human side of the process. I do not wish divorce upon anybody, but if it is something you have to go through, go through it with someone like Sara. I will forever recommend her services.

More than a lawyer, a friend.

Sara McFall helped me gain sole custody of my son. Something I'll always be immensely grateful for! We fought a long and painful fight for many years, but she never gave up and the judge was able to see what was best for my child thanks to Sara. She hugged me and she cried with me after the judge sig...ned the order stating that I was to have sole custody of my son, I'll never forget that moment! Sara McFall is not just an amazing lawyer, she's also an amazing human being and she'll treat you like family!

Life is Good Again~!

Going through ANY kind of divorce is a life changing, unsettling, major event in a person's life. Every single day is a new challenge. When I knew divorce was inevitable, I asked everyone I knew about a good attorney. None were quite right until I googled and found Sara McFall. Sara and her extra...ordinary legal assistants, Victoria & Candace were absolutely the very best~! They never let me down always answering my questions, calming my fears and always listening to what I had to say. In essence, with efficiency, grace, and vast experience they all guided me to my new life~! You cannot go wrong choosing Sara and her team~! They are human beings that will treat you with integrity and respect while expertly handling a very difficult process with aplomb~! I can't thank Sara, Candace and Victoria enough~!!!

Hardworking and "caring" lawyer!

I recommend Sara because she was very professional yet compassionate to my divorce case. I found her after much research and having been through two previous attorneys who did not work out. I selected her based on the high ratings she received on Avvo and her many years of experience as a family/div...orce lawyer. After our first consultation meeting I liked that you are just not a number to her, she’s very personable, listens intently to your concerns and truly cares about you, her client. Sara rolled with my quirks and helped me understand what transpired through the whole divorce process. She was always prompt with replies, and was never at a loss of words when I needed an explanation...she knows how to effectively & calmly communicate to stressed out parents - which is a plus in my book. Sara was the first person to sit down with me and tell me exactly what the law required and gave me a realistic indication of how things would play out in court. We were not always in total agreement about the best path forward, but that is likely because of our perspectives. I was emotionally charged and angry about all the things that happened which put me in this position. Sara sympathized, but wasted no time in directing me toward what the legal realities were, which sometimes unfortunately, is not what we want to hear because we have a different vision in our head for how things should be …but we really need to hear the truth of the matter in order to proceed swiftly forward in a difficult divorce case (like mine was) towards settlement. I also liked that she cultivates a staff centered around trust who are always willing to go above and beyond with consistent service delivery. Sara and her team will try to do the very best for you. (Sara - Thank You so very much for your counsel and experience!) I highly recommend her and her wonderful hardworking staff.

Awesome

I was grateful to work with a compassionate and caring person in the midst of my divorce. Being in a setting that is warm and welcoming makes a difficult process more managable. I also appreciated her honesty - because when you are struggling emotionally sometimes your expections and the law are two... different things. I felt like she would pursue any avenue I asked- but she also gave me the pros and cons of each option. I couldn't have asked for more.
