Best attorney in town, professional, honest, knows the law, and gets results

Sarah Brandon was wonderful. We had a very long and complicated case. We hired Sarah about half way through and she ended the case quickly. She knew exactly what she was doing and how to handle my case. She did an excellent job on my case. Sarah and her team were helpful and always avaliable, she ...kept me up to date and got results that I did not think could be acheived. Sarah protected my children and was very passionate about keeping them safe. She gave me peace of mind. Overall, she was confident, honest, fast, to the point, and very reliable. I couldn't have been happier, I would recommend her to my family and friends and would use her again if needed, she is the best attorney in town.

Contentious Divorce

Unfortunately my divorced decayed into a bitter legal battle. I first started off with a different attorney but then switched to Sarah half way through because my first attorney was making too many mistakes. Sarah was able to clean up the mess from my previous attorney and really got the divorce mo...ving which had been stalled for months. Sarah has an excellent reputation with the other opposing council in the Austin area. These attorneys know once you have hired Sarah that they will required to follow the letter of the law and not play games which waste both time and money for both parties. Sarah Brandon did a great job for me.

Trustworthy, honest, capable, non-money-minded, client centric, reasonable, practical, confident, affordable, best in Austin

She was professional, very clear in her process, kept us up to date, and achieved perfect results. She was also honest money-wise and even after telling her that other lawyers were charging thrice her price and that I was willing to pay that, she did not increase her fees. She did not want to charge ...different rates to different people for the same work. Since she was so confident with all aspects of the case, I had the peace of mind that I was in safe hands and didn't have to lose sleep. I couldn't have been happier, and would definately recommend her and use her again.

You DO NOT want her working for the opposing side!

Sarah K. Brandon is professional, well-prepared and focused. She took our case, made a plan, and executed it without fail. Ms. Brandon knows and uses the law to obtain her objective and win her case. She is an accomplished thespian. She is able to adjust her demeanor to the current situation be it... in the courtroom, mediation, or deposition. Her approach to the respected bench calls for a full range of interpersonal skills and Ms. Brandon has it perfected. She can be aggressive as quickly as she can turn on her southern charm to plead her case. You do NOT want this attorney working for the opposing side! We hired her for a messy case involving multiple attorneys and three adverse parties. Though the case ran long, she never lost focus of our goal- the safety and well-being of our child. She never treated us as "a case" or "a paycheck." She was very honest and up front even if we didn't like what we had to hear. Her fees are fair, her demeanor is impressive and her knowledge of the law and approach is dead-on! We highly recommend Sarah Brandon. I was raised in a family surrounded by lawyers, the majority of whom exceeded 7 figures annually. Therefore, this recommendation does not come lightly.

Hard working, attention to detail, reads the Law and Knows the Law and gets results!

Sarah Brandon became a lawyer to fight the good and the just fight. Sarah makes you feel like you are her only client and never cuts corners when it comes to practicing the law, she knows how it reads forward and backward and has amazing integrity and work ethic. I have referred many friends and fami...ly members to her as she stands head and shoulders above any other person in her field of practice. She is honest and does not sugar coat the truth even if it is not always what you may want to hear. Sarah Brandon is the kind of lawyer and person that you want sitting beside you, representing your case in court. Hands down, she is the BEST.
