Review Judith Sadler

Excellent divorce attorney

Posted by

I always felt fortunate not to have the need to acquire the services of an attorney, until recently when I found myself in the midst of a divorce. Judith Sadler and her paralegal, Zaida Lazo always made me feel throughout the process as if I was not only represented by reputable and efficient professionals, but by people who have the best interest in you as if they've personally known me for years. If you're skeptical or hesitant about attorneys, you'll see that Judie and Zaida will put that perception at rest. Compassionate, dedicated, efficient, and honest are just a few of the many words that describe them.

Wonderful!

Judie & Rachel both are great! Lots of information & did a lot in the background. I gave them all documents I had & told them all information needed. They both did a great job & I could not be any happier with the services provided. I highly recommend Judie Saddler or Rachel Smith. I already reconmended them to colleague of mine.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Judie is very knowledgeable and experienced, helping me with all aspects of my divorce, mediation, and custody options every step of the way. She is very ethical and prompt in her correspondence, and she helped me through many difficult situations that arose during my divorce and custody case. She and her skilled team will fight for their clients in all aspects of family law to help you win your case for the best outcome possible. I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking an honest and highly competent family law attorney!

She Delivered

Posted by

I give Judie Sadler my highest recommendation. She is very knowledgable and extremely ethical. Her priority is her clients. She handled a complicated issue that included a large group of employees and was able to secure a successful resolution that was beneficial to all parties. She would be my first choice should I ever need legal representation again.

Child Custody

Posted by

Judie, represented me on a custody hearing for my 5 year old grandson. I was told that it would be a difficult case to win. And we did. I have the utmost faith in Judie band all of the employees in the office. They went above and beyond for the welfare of my grandson. In addition, Judie helped me out with a personal employer situation a few years ago. This situation also worked out and was settled to my satisfaction.

I enjoyed working with Judith. She and her staff were great. I always felt my best interests were placed above all else. We had a couple of twists and turns but nothing they couldn't resolve and handle quickly! Very professional group.

Judie Sadler is the best. I am honored to both know her and to work with her. If you need a qualified and honorable attorney to represent you, I would highly recommend her.

Judie is not only an incredibly talented lawyer, but she is also a better human being. The mentorship and guidance she lends to her clients also translates into her relationships with the attorneys she works with. She has been a tremendous influence on me personally and my legal career. She is, and will continue to be, an incredible asset to any client that seeks hers services. I endorse this lawyer.

Rachel Sedita, Family Attorney on Nov 13, 2013
Relationship: Co-worker

I endorse this lawyer. She is incredibly hard working and really cares for her clients. She is professional and detail oriented in all of her work.

Cynthia Diggs, Employment and labor Attorney on May 22, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Judie Sadler is the best labor and employment lawyer I know in Houston and South Texas. I call on her for all questions in this area and I have repeatedly referred clients to her. They have all been more than satisfied with her knowledge and her tenacity. She is an excellent lawyer, first-rate in her field. Her fees are also very reasonable.
