Best in Class

First Class, professional, and top notch don’t even begin to describe Sarah and her approach to my case. She has represented me, and more importantly, the wishes of my loved one with integrity and grit. As an attorney, she has approached this case with a perspective that truly made me realize that ...she cares about making sure the right things get accomplished…every time. She is an absolute professional in her field and helps to advise, empathize, and compete for her clients. I am certainly glad that she and Mark provided me with the representation that I needed during a very emotional time. Their guidance and leadership throughout this process have been pillars of support for me and the voices of reason towards what I hope is not just a successful outcome but also a fair and just new beginning to the always tough situation of carrying out a person’s final wishes. She’s been an amazing and trusted advisor in navigating unfamiliar situations and I have very much appreciated her willingness to go the extra mile.

Excellent at Mediation

We were fortunate to have Sarah come alongside our lawyer, Mark Caldwell when our case went to mediation. She and Mark were the perfect team, Sarah was so well prepared and was determined to discover all the facts needed to support our case in the documents that were turned over to us at the very las...t minute and even some that weren't revealed until our day of mediation. Sarah was focused on what was fact and tenacious in not letting any relevant fact left unsaid. She brought to light some very damaging evidence that in the end caused the other side to surrender and acknowledge defeat giving our case a very favorable settlement. Definitely the one you want on your team when you go to battle!

Organized, ethical, knowledgeable and a calm force for justice.

Sarah Toraason and her legal team were our attorneys in a family probate litigation of a type we now know is very common. Our sister chose to steal all our father's money while he was on his death bed. We lived in another state so making a claim was going to be difficult. We had doubt fear and confus...ion when we hired Sarah and her firm and we chose them because another trusted lawyer said they were the best. Sarah and her team were strategic, one step ahead, and a powerful opponent defending our case. They were the calm to our internal misery and were organized, methodical and well informed in selection of legal methods that resulted in a win of or case. They were ethical and did not stoop to the slime, lies and underhanded tricks our opponents seemed to swim in. After a year of hard work, our jury was unanimous in siding with our story of injustice and we won our case, inheritance and legal fees back. Ms. Toraason is the kind of attorney one hopes for when faced with the daunting task of proving a case to obtain justice.

Excellent Legal Representation During Our Three Year Ordeal

When my brothers and I started our case, we were obviously confused and upset by the circumstances of our father's death and the state in which he left his affairs. Sarah Toraason stepped in with encouragement, a positive attitude, and excellent legal advice throughout the ordeal. She was always ava...ilable to answer our questions and suggest the next steps to take. We always knew what paperwork was needed and everything was always filed on time. Ultimately, she did help us get the case settled as we'd hoped. We would hire her again in a heart beat.
