Sarah recently represented me in my motion for enforcement and my ex-spouse’s petition to modify. Sarah’s demeanor, planning, knowledge of the law, and attention to detail showcased the facts of our case in the most complete, but concise way. I felt the best attribute from Sarah was her ability to be direct and a match for any personality type she encounters. She is kind, empathetic, and caring, but also tactfully assertive when appropriate. Sarah was on the lookout for the best interests of my children at every turn and she is an advocate for children in general as her main focus was the kids in this matter. I would highly recommend her for any good parent involved in a divorce or post-divorce custody matter.
Sarah packs a legal punch! She knows family law like the back of her hand and can throw out all the necessary jargon without hesitation. My ex husband's legal team didn't know what hit them. I can't recommend her enough!

Divorce & Children
Going through a divorce was the most painful and difficult event in my life to date, but more importantly the future of our daughter Marley was heavy on my mind. As a father/man I felt there was no hope for me seeing our daughter more than I was(few hours a week) and being a part of the decision making in her life due to the way my ex talked to me and threated me. This was a false idea in my head and they were patient and understanding towards my fears and concerns. Sarah, Hailey, Kaitlyn, Alex, and the whole team helped me through every step of the process. I was emotional over many parts of the divorce and they were calming when I needed it and direct with certain things when I need it. I applaud the entire team for being knowledgeable about family law. The divorce took 2+ years, but I was granted joint custody of our daughter with the final decision being mine to make if my ex and I can't agree about education, health, mental health, and other major life decisions for out daughter. I also was granted the right for my home address being where our daughter goes to school along with the the custodial parent's schedule. It was extremely tough to go through a final hearing/trail with a judge, but Sarah and her team were able to display the truth and facts about what was happening and ultimately provide our daughter with the most stable future possible. I highly recommend hiring Sarah and her team if you have children as they absolutely understand that the child comes first. Thank you Sarah, Hailey, Kaitlyn, Alex, and Team!

Highly recommend
I highly recommend using Sarah and her team. During a difficult time she helped ease the process by making sure everything was taken care and was done quickly and thoroughly. She is compassionate about what she believes in. Sarah is a tough cookie but was also able to see when I was struggling emotionally through the whole process of divorce. Her kind words helped me get through.

Professional and Caring
Deciding to end my marriage was very painful and very scary; I was extremely worried about my children and my future. I was actually given Sarah Brandon's name by a friend who had recently gone through a divorce in which her ex-husband was represented by Ms. Brandon. Even though she was on the opposite end, she still highly recommended Ms. Brandon because she was thorough and left nothing on the table. I had the same experience. During my first meeting, I immediately felt peace of mind and knew that I would be taken care of. I really wanted a collaborative divorce and Ms. Brandon was very cautious in her approach with my husband. I felt completely at ease once I fully handed over the reigns and let my attorney take the lead. My children were always on the forefront of her mind and she made sure I would be taken care of in the future. I was so glad to have Ms. Brandon on my side. As painful as this process was, she took over and made things as bearable as possible. I pray I never have to use her again, but should any issues come up in my future, I would definitely be calling on her for support.

I contracted with Ms. Brandon's law firm to handle my divorce. I found her to be extremely professional and very informative about the divorce process at all times. I was particularly impressed with her willingness to work with me to contain costs. She even gave me several tips for the most cost effective ways to communicate and proceed with the divorce. I highly recommend her law firm's services.

Peace of mind
Hiring Ms. Brandon was the best decision I made. I had some very time sensitive issues after my ex-husband served me with divorce papers. She saw me right away and we talked about what I wanted and what I thought was going to be best for my children and I. She and her team got right down to business and wasted no time fighting for my children and I. Having her as my attorney gave me the strength to get thru my divorce and find my voice when I didn't think I had one. She is honest, upfront but still kind and caring. I highly recommend her if you find yourself in need of an excellent family attorney.

Sarah is the BEST.
In 2017, I made the very difficult decision to end my marriage and I felt like a deer in headlights when it came to knowing what to do. I was recommended by a close friend to use Sarah K Brandon as my divorce attorney and she was AMAZING! Sarah, and her incredible team, helped me every step of the way and I can honestly say I would not be as good as I am today if it wasn't for them. Sarah is not your typical divorce attorney and I didn't realize this until after my divorce was final and I was talking to an old friend who had recently gone through a divorce herself. Sarah was so attentive in listening to my situation and extremely knowledgeable and diligent around what steps I needed to take to make sure my children and I were protected. She and her team worked fast and efficiently in making sure all my paperwork was in order and I got what I needed to take care of my family and myself, as well as being very conscientious of my budget. She even provided me a list of counselors if I needed to talk with someone and set me up with a fantastic financial adviser to help me organize and manage my finances. Today she still reaches out to send me reminders periodically on action I need to take around my decree or to just check in. She really cares!!! I would recommend Sarah to anyone going through this difficult, life-changing event. You will not be disappointed.

Compassionate, Caring, Professional, Principaled
Ms Brandon is an amazing lawyer! She knows the law and is strategic in her thinking for her clients. She came onto my case as co-counsel for a child support case that had been pending for awhile. She was quick to get the facts and was able to assess her approach for moving the case forward. There were many sensitive issues and problems with my case and she took every possible care to protect the children involved. It was clear that she cared about the outcome and the people. I knew that she would work hard to find the solution and she was conscientious about my costs and did not try to inflate or exaggerate them. I felt that she was as invested in my case as I was and I think the outcome reflected her commitment! Thanks again to her and her wonderful team!!

Integrity, Compassion, Fairness
Sarah has been a true blessing in my life! She counseled me through my divorce 6 years ago and currently with my child support case. She is compassionate yet, firm. She knows the law and gives sound, objective advice. She has unlimited compassion for the children in her cases and puts their wellbeing first. Her integrity proceeds her, which is evident in the respect demonstrated toward her by colleagues in the courtroom. She has always charged me fairly, and she is worth every penny!!! And, her staff is amazing - organized and responsive. They contribute to successful cases by keeping Sarah prepared! I've been endlessly impressed with the servant leadership demonstrated by Sarah and the team.

Sarah is AMAZING!!!!
Ms. Brandon has been a life saver! What ended up being a rather difficult divorce and custody process, she handled professionally and in a timely manner. We had several challenges arise regarding property and custody, and she was always prepared for whatever was thrown our way. She walked me thru everything, and was always available to me in any crisis. Not only was she there as my attorney, but as a friend. She genuinely cared about me and my family and that made a world of difference to me. Ms. Brandon and her staff are very professional, very diligent in their work, and very caring about her clients. It was comforting to know that my family was important to her and that she was there to help us anyway that she can. She is very honest and straight forward, which was refreshing. I never felt like she was taking advantage of me and my situation. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Duped and Rescued
I was referred to Sarah Brandon by a dear friend who underwent a heart-wrenching divorce. Never in my life did I ever think I would ever have to hire an attorney and experience something so similar. I literally walked into my consultation meeting with absolutely zero knowledge of what to do or where to begin. All I could do was hand Ms. Brandon a typed outline of the events that led me to meet her on that dreary August day in 2014. She immediately praised me for list of important happenings. She was brutally honest and upfront. My case was a mess but she was willing to ferociously fight the beast. Most importantly, I had to be truthful about everything as well. Sarah Brandon left no stone unturned. Additionally, she has an amazing team working with her. Each with their own unique skill and gift. All my questions were answered quickly and concisely. I felt confident with her and knew I had chosen the best person/team to fight for me and my child. Ms. Brandon is extremely organized and professional. I think what I respected the most was that she didn't want to waste my money. She taught me to answer her questions quickly and be on point. She is my advocate. Sarah Brandon was my answer to prayer and I'm incredibly grateful to have her on my side.

Peace of Mind!
Mrs. Brandon has represented me in two different cases.
The first was my divorce. Her advice both legally and financially helped to make a very difficult situation easy to understand.
She is comforting, extremely knowledgeable and helped me to secure a good legal decision.
The second case was a bit more complicated as I have custody of two of my grand kids. This could have been a volatile situation and sometimes it was but Mrs. Brandon worked with apposing counsel extensively to provide a positive outcome in sharing custody of the children between me and their mother.
I would highly recommend her and her team of experts!

Guided me through life changing events
I used Sarah for a very difficult divorce. She was supportive and kind to me throughout the very difficult time in my life. She is tough with the opposition and extremely knowledgeable on every single aspect of the law. Every small detail is discussed and if important brought into the legal proceedings. She kept me positive and motivated throughout the entire process. She won 70% of the marital assets to be awarded to the husband (me) which is difficult in the State of Texas. I have since remarried, my life is heaven on earth now. I used her again for a child adoptions. She made the entire process run very smooth. She is a positive life changer. I would not go with any other attorney.
