Best Attorney I’ve Ever Had!

If you are in need of a family law attorney, I would highly recommend Sarah Darnell. She mediated my case regarding an Informal Marriage and filed a Petition for Declaratory Judgment that No Informal Marriage Exists. She was successful in the mediation process! She, and her entire team are the be...st (very professional, very responsive) they know what they are doing!

Hire her! You won't be sorry!

I hired Sarah thanks to a GREAT friend who recommended her. From my first consultation with Sarah, she recognized my ex was intrepreting our divorce decree as he so fit. Sarah was able to help me stand up for what was right and put it on the right track. I was facing the issue of increasin...g child support (to meet standard guidelines). I knew that doing so would be more difficult than my divorce and had it had the potential of becoming explosive. The fact that it could become explosive did not "shake" Sarah at all. Sarah was confident she could handle anything that came her way. The night before our first hearing we were made aware of circumstances which totally change our stratagy. Sarah was able to think quickly and was prepared to go first thing in the morning. We ended up going to court several times - each time the ruling was in our favor. Sarah is very confident and competent in what she does. Yes, she helped me in that making sure I received the appropriate child support but it goes way beyond the money. I have gained so much strength from Sarah. Sarah gives you the tools you need long after the hearing is done and over with.

Excellent Service and did exactly what I needed her to do

Sarah was working with me on a child support modification. She was prepared and knowledgeable in court and got an order to reduce my support even though the mother was seeking to increase support. She did weekly case reviews with other attorneys in the office so I knew I was always going the right ...direction with my case.
