Sarah N. Jaffery

This was our first time ever needing legal help and Sarah was simply a god send. She's so kind, so smart and works SO hard for you. She kept us updated with everything and answered all of our questions. There are so many gray areas and things that you don't think about before having to deal with the ...court system, so on top of defending us in court, she taught us along the way and explained what was going on. I can't stress that point enough. Simply put, you won't regret it. She knows the system, she knows the players, and she knows how to get results.

Sarah is an amazing lawyer. I was in a a tight spot after I received another speeding citation and couldn't do defensive driving. I didn't want to have a ticket on my record because it would increase my insurance rates. A friend referred me to Sarah because of her experience handling speeding citatio...ns. She responded to all my messages within mintues of it being sent. Sarah took the burden off my shoulders and always reassured me that the case was handled. Two weeks later I received a call from her personally that not only was my ticket handled but that it would be off my record. I was speechless, I did not think it was possible for my ticket to be dismissed and off my record so easily. But when speaking with Sarah I quickly realized how knowledgeable she is with the law. I was very lucky to have such a modern lawyer who answered my Facebook messages, text messages and knew how to reassure me. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone because I had nothing but good things happen while working with her.

I highly recommend NOT hiring Doyle Balaparya for a divorce. My divorce originally went in uncontested and my ex signed the Waiver of Service. I hand delivered the document to her office and was promised a copy. Things were escalating with my ex and I told Ms. Balaparya that I didn’t feel safe. She... emailed my ex on two separate occasions and threatened him with a restraining order. I even had a criminal trespassing warning issued to him at my home. The officers told me this would be enough to get a restraining order. Ms. Balaparya said I didn’t qualify for one. I even forwarded her all the emails that he had sent my family and I. Come to find out she was sending some of the emails to his attorney without my consent! In the meantime, the decree had been drafted and my ex was dragging his feet with his attorney. Ms. Balaparya never filed the Waiver of Service! She kept telling me I paid for an uncontested divorce and that this could go on for a while. By this time I had found out that my ex had lied about some very fraudulent things that were never disclosed before we were married. I asked Ms. Balaparya about an annulment and she said that I didn’t qualify and skirted the subject. My ex engaged in some frightening criminal activity and I was advised by local authorities to get a protective order. Ms. Balaparya agreed to a Temporary Restraining Order and I paid an agreed fee verbally. She told me that we couldn’t get into court that week because the judge was busy. Come to find out she was out of town when I called to check on the TRO with her paralegal. I was able see the judge that week after consulting with another attorney and immediately received an emergency protective order. I never received a refund from Ms. Balaparya for the TRO. When I asked for my money back and an accounting, she would not even give me an accounting of the money spent and tried to sue my new attorney!
