Fantastic Lawyer!!

I cannot say how thankful I am to have had her represent me at the Hayes Co. court house for my 2 day debacle. Her ability to take charge of my special circumstances, and the assistance and knowledge of her staff, not to mention guidance, was beyond belief. It was a trying time for me, and yet t...he most enlightening experience, giving me great hope for the future. I have no hesitation to consult her and her staff in the future, and highly recommend Sarah Brandon to everyone!

Thanks to the efforts of the Law firm of Sarah K Brandon - My two children are safe with me. Her main focus is the children!

I retained the services of Sarah K. Brandon in July of 2008. My wife and I made amends and subsequently had another child. In February on 2010 she ran off with her high school boyfriend (whom she had only befriended three days prior on Facebook) leaving me and our then 7 year old son, and stealing aw...ay with our 6 month old daughter. The quick actions of Ms. Brandon's firm found my daughter over 300 miles away and return her safely to me here in Austin. Unfortunately, a terrible custody/divorce case ensued and the legal team of Sarah K. Brandon knows how to BRING IT! Her team of extremely qualified, caring, and tenacious para-legals worked around the clock to represent me and my children flawlessly. This was the hardest thing i have ever had to experience as a man of 40+ years. I owe so much more than the monies paid to Ms Brandon for all her efforts. My children are safe with me and for that I am eternally grateful. Money means absolutely nothing when it comes to the safety of our children. I could ramble on for hours about her preparedness, punctuality, court room proficiency, reputation with the judges and clerks and the Travis County Courthouse, and sincere deep felt concern for her client, but let me say one more thing; If you hire Sara K Brandon to represent you in your case, don't speak, God gave us two ear's and only one mouth, listen to every single thing she says and pay heed to her advise, provide her with every single ugly truth about yourself - she's your attorney not your mother; complete every task, appointment, meeting, and survey she wants in the exact manner in which she tells you to do it; if there is absolutely nothing you wouldn't do for your children and she tells you to do something that you don't or can't understand why, JUST DO IT! Your children will thank you for it later. MM

Great experience, well prepared

Sarah represented me in my divorce; it has almost been one year since I worked with her. She has a collaborative approach and places a high value on the family. I also had a custody issue, which she handled to perfection. When we met the first time, I told her what my priorities were, and she rema...ined focused on them and my well being throughout the entire process. She was very up front about what my responsibilities were. She is very thorough, prepares very well, and considers all possibilities. I followed her instructions to the letter, and that helped get my case resolved quickly. Even though it was a difficult process (when is divorce ever easy?), it was fairly smooth from the attorney perspective. She has a very skilled staff, professional, and empathic. I highly recommend her.

If you want an honest lawyer - Sarah Brandon can help.

When I truly thought life could not get worse after my seperation, I then found myself fighting for my children. I never dreamed this would happen to me. My children are my life. I was referred to Sarah Brandon by an acquaintance and I feel that Ms. Brandon saved my life. We won the case and my c...hildren are now safe with me. She knows the law, fought for what was right and was honest, fair and no game playing. I have a new respect for attorneys.

Sarah Brandon gave me a different prospective of Lawers

I have used a few other lawyers for different issues and all three of these attorneys caused me to dislike even the word lawyer. My fourth attorney was Sarah Brandon. Sarah totally changed the way I feel about the legal profession. Not only did Sarah provide hours on top of hours on my case, Sarah ...also instructed her staff to help and serve me with any and all legal request. Having Mrs. Brandon and her staff in my corner during my last legal fight; helped to give me the confidence that I was being represented by the right side of the law. And thanks to Sarah we had the ability to settle this case out of court. Sarah saved me ton of money with this settlement. I also know if we had been forced to that my case to court, Sarah was more than prepared fight on my behalf. I can only hope Mrs. Brandon knows how she changed my feelings of the legal profession. Sarah Brandon is one class act! If you want help from someone in the Legal profession, call for the help of Sarah Brandon in Austin Texas.
