Very very helpful

My husband and I hired Sarah to act on our behalf with a custody case. She was flawless. Everything was done on time and we really felt like she listened to our issues and helped us come up with the best solution. Even after we were done with the actual court dates I have been able to call, text, or ...email her with questions and she always responds in a timely manner with advice, answers, or sometimes just an encouraging word or two. Working with Sarah you can tell she is in this for the people and she really cares about her clients. I HIGHLY recommend her services.

AMAZING

I had some issues with my divorce and decided to get an attorney and she was so helpful! She was there whenever I needed her and fought for what I wanted. She ensured that all of my needs were taken care of. She was always very professional and handled everything in a very timely manner. I would reco...mmend her to anyone in need of an attorney.

5 Stars Aren't Enough!!!

I hired Sarah to defend me when my son's dad sued me for standard visitation. She gave me excellent counsel, stood up for me against his attorney, & kept reminding me to put my son first. I can't recommend Sarah enough!

Family adoption

Excellent lawyer! She was thorough and always prepared. We needed her to help us intervene on a precious foster child and she represented us so well! We cannot recommend her enough!!!

Exemplary!!

I needed an attorney to handle an elder family law matter. I had heard very positive feedback about Sarah and decided to schedule an appointment for an initial consult. Sarah was flexible in working around my schedule and my need to meet on such short notice. As I explained the family situatio...n, which took some time, Sarah listened with interest and concern. Thereafter, she asked several questions to ensure she had attained the information needed to move forward. The next step needed to occur quickly. Sarah contacted the appropriate people on my behalf that same day, and provided me with the necessary documentation the next day with which to proceed. I was overcome with gratitude at the efficiency with which we were able to bring this issue to resolution. I would not hesitate to confer with Sarah again on any family law issue. She is extremely smart and "action-oriented". In addition, I would not waiver in recommending Sarah to anyone who needs a "first class" attorney. Simply put, Sarah is the best family law attorney with whom I have worked (and I have worked with several).

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.
