Excellent Attorney Sarah Hersh Rizzolo

I want to express my thanks to your firm, Frascona, Joiner, Goodman and Greenstein, for having such an excellent attorney, Sarah Rizzolo, as part of your legal counsel. I recently worked with Sarah who assisted me with a permanent protection order and a neighbor who has continually stalked and haras...sed me. This neighbor recently filed to dismiss the PPO I had against him and I needed Sarah’s legal assistance. Sarah proved to the court that not only did he not have a credible testimony but also caught him in a lie based on an answer he gave to a question she cross examined him on, which he had previously admitted to in a handwritten note. I LOVED it when she said to him “were you being dishonest then or are you being dishonest now”? The PPO was NOT dismissed against him and I am breathing a huge sigh of relief. Sarah was awesome! Thank you. Lorri F

A Powerful Legal Resource

Sarah has advised me in my divorce, child support and parenting matters for about two years. She has consistently surpassed my expectations to provide professional yet compassionate guidance for situations typically fraught with high emotion. Sarah clearly places a priority on quickly responding to... my inquiries and keeping me updated on my case status. Additionally, Sarah has an excellent grasp of the nuances of Colorado family law and case history and has always assembled a solid legal foundation for her arguments. Finally, I feel Sarah carefully considers my input and genuinely collaborates with me to achieve the best possible yet realistic outcomes. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking this type of counsel.

Thorough and transparent

Sarah kept me well informed of my options throughout my case (protective custody and child support dispute.) I felt like she had the best interests of myself and my child in mind at all times. She was responsive to my frequent concerns and questions. She always kept the prospect of achieving a set...tlement in the forefront since it was the more affordable and least contentious option available. Overall, she was a pleasure to work with, personable, conscientious and compassionate throughout the whole process.

She is only after money!!!!!!

This attorney doesn’t even deserve a star of poor. She was hired to help in a domestic violence situation. The ONLY thing this woman did was file emergency hearings to collect fees. She did nothing to help protect my kids and myself from their highly , abusive and manipulating father. She should be a...shamed of herself and lose her license to practice family law. Run from this attorney !!

Small Claims Assistance was Worthless

I went to Sarah for help with a small claims case. I asked for a one hour consultation, I spent one hour with her, and she billed me for far more, because she recorded that one hour as 1.4 hours, and then charged me $22.50 for each little email setting up the appointment and letting her know what ha...ppened. In the end, in court her legal advice proved to be wrong. Hiring Sarah was a waste of my money, and her billing practices left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Replied last December 17, 2013

I am sorry to hear (8 months after helping this client) that this client is unhappy with my services and the fees charged. We strive to keep all of our clients fully informed concerning charges including those charges which may be incurred following a consultation. I had previously taken steps to try to address the client's concerns, and thought that we had resolved issues. Following a single consultation meeting with me that lasted much more than an hour, I voluntarily wrote off the fees for the charges in excess of one hour. Furthermore, despite having 21 email exchanges with this client and spending significant time reading and answering the emails, I charged this client for only $22.50 for charges that should have been $90.00. The client didn't hire me to represent her in court, so I don't know what evidence and arguments were presented. My legal advice was accurate, but once a client leaves my office and handles things on his or her own, I have little control over the results. While I am sorry about this client's feelings concerning experiences with me, I am confident that billing practices are made clear to every client at the beginning, and that the advice offered to clients is sound, correct, legal advice.
