Bright, professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate

Sara represented me in my highly contentious and challenging divorce case and I couldn't be more pleased with the results and her performance. She was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain things to me in detail and made sure I unde...rstood all of my options. She was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. She tried her best to settle in mediation, when that failed, she worked tirelessly on my behalf at trial and I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend Sara to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer.

She's the best

Sara is amazing! She listens, understands and is very compassionate. She was extremely helpful at walking me through the process and helping do what was best for me and my family. We were luckily able to settle in mediation. I highly recommend her for anyone going through family issues.

She is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend her.

Sara Saltmarsh is an excellent family lawyer and I highly recommend her. July of last year I went to her with the most complicated case involving not just divorce but also custody and many other aspects involved. Sara responded quickly and made sure all the necessary are filed immediately before it w...as too late. She gave me a lot of confidence in my case and was extremely dedicated. Today my son and I are happy, free and safe and I owe it to Sara. The other side put us through a lot and she never gave up or lost hope. She fought with me and for me and got me and my son out of a hellacious marriage. I call her my god sent angel. She was always so kind and considerate and treated me with so much respect and affection.

Best Family Law / Mediation Attorney in Austin, Texas

What traits make a truly outstanding family law attorney? Sara Saltmarsh is bright, professional, knowledgeable, passionate, experienced, ethical, respected, confident and compassionate. Sara is a University of Texas Law School Adjunct Professor with 30+ years of legal experience, but she tackled my ...case with the diligence and enthusiasm of a first year law student. She does not rest on her laurels. She is a fierce client advocate who comes to court well prepared. In March, 2008, I foolishly represented myself in my divorce case. I had zero funds to hire a competent attorney. I made MANY errors with the decree. Almost 11 years later, my ex-husband filed a civil case against me for more than $40,000. I was terrified. Older & wiser, I sought highly qualified legal counsel. A friend of a friend recommended Sara. Sara knows the law. She came to court prepared, citing case after case of legal precedents which supported our motion to dismiss. By contrast, my ex's lawyer did not cite a single case or statute to support their lawsuit. Throughout these proceedings, Sara remained calm and focused. What was our final outcome? Judge accepted Sara's motion to dismiss with prejudice meaning my ex-husband cannot file it again. She also won a judgment against him for her legal fees. I may never be reimbursed for Sara's fees, but this judgment may deter any future lawsuits. Before we adjourned, judge directly addressed my ex cautioning him against any future litigation due to the statute of limitations saying he would likely need to pay his lawyer AND my lawyer again without being awarded a judgment. Sara's skillful, articulate and succinct representation gave me the best possible outcome. I left court feeling protected and greatly relieved. She's simply the best civil attorney in Austin!
