Honest, Ethical, Hard Working, Caring Attorney

Sarah Brandon and her team are a delight to work with. During painful times, they remain calm and collected to help you in any way they can. Keeping your best interest in mind, they work tirelessly to ensure deadlines are met and all details are perfectly in place while keeping your budget in mind. S...arah provides a safe and trusting environment to get you through a difficult time. I can't thank her and her team enough for all of their hard work.

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.

Two Time Powerhouse Attorney!!

I hired Sarah for the first time in July 2011 to represent me in my divorce. Sarah and her staff were professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic. Sarah's paralegals kept me informed every step of the way and ensured that I had a copy of every communication exchanged with opposing counsel. With S...arah's phenomenal guidance, we were able to settle all issues in mediation. When my ex-husband filed a petition to modify child support in late 2013, I immediately hired Sarah and her team again. Sarah was prepared for every unethical and illegal move made by opposing counsel. Sarah did not stop fighting until we won our case in 2014, and she even ensured that I was awarded a significant portion of attorney's fees. Jenn and Jennifer are great paralegals with excellent attention to detail. Sarah is a wonderful advocate for her clients. Her faith is an inspiration, and she has been a blessing to me and my children.

Amazing team

We recently completed a painful dispute in court regarding visitation and rights/duties. While the process and situation were emotionally draining, Ms. Brandon and her team were tremendously helpful. Not only did they help us to comprehend the difficult legal matters, they ensured discovery was prope...rly completed (on both sides), and presented compelling evidence and argument once we landed in court. Sarah, Jennifer, and Julie - we cannot thank you enough! I hope to never find myself in need of Ms. Brandon's service again. However, I can wholeheartedly recommend her to others in need of a caring, hard working, top notch family law attorney.

Sarah represented me with confidence and I felt like I had somebody on my side. In court there was no question that she was going to get the job done.
