Exceptional Lawyer

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 maki...ng 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!

Adoption

Sarah handled the case of my granddaughter, my daughters girl, being adopted by my daughters husband. Sarah was very knowledgeable of the details of the adoption. She was very kind and caring to all involved. This was a very important day in my family’s life, and Sarah made everything perfect for my ...granddaughter and her new father. Sarah is an awesome attorney and caring person. If anyone needs a great family attorney, Sarah Brandon will take care of you. She was awesome.

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 wa...y 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!!
