Excellent divorce attorney

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!

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.

She Delivered

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

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.
