Professional and Highly Recommended
I hired Sarah Lamborne to handle my divorce. She was professional, extremely detail oriented, and easy to work with. She was always readily available or returned my messages promptly and gave exceptional advice. She is very knowledgeable in family law and gave me creative alternate suggestions during some difficult dilemmas in my case. I have personally recommended her to several other women who are going through similar divorce/child custody proceedings, and I would not hesitate to hire her again if I needed legal assistance.

Highly recommended
Sarah helped me in a very messy child custody case. It took a lot of time, much patience, and knowledge of the law and court system. I ended up with the outcome I wanted and likely would not have been able to without her expert assistance. I highly recommend Sarah.

She's the one you want!
I appointed Sarah for of the hardest, nastiest and ugliest custody battles a mother could go through. She was passionate with my case, and went for everything I asked for and we won! She will never give up. She is the most professional lawyer. Her communication is impeccable! Thanks again, Sarah!

Fabulous Lawyer
I greatly appreciated Sarah's expertise, knowledge, professionalism, care and concern. She made the process as easy and painless as it could have been. It’s always a pleasure to work with someone who’s top-notch and passionate about their work as Sarah is. I will certainly refer anyone I know who’s going through a divorce to her. I would not hesitate to contact her in the future should I been in need of legal services.

Very Professional, Knowledgable And Sensitive To Our Needs - Highly Recommended
We were very pleased with Sarah's representation on our very difficult and confusing case. She demonstrated tremendous professional skill in navigating through a flood of atypical filings and arguments from other people involved in the case, whose filings seemed to be designed to drag the case out unnecessarily. Sarah was able to develop effective strategies and modify the strategies as necessary to combat the chaotic filings and bring about our desired outcome. Sarah not only exhibited great skill in bringing about a good resolution to the case, she also clearly explained all of the filings, brought a great deal of clarity about legal issues and helped us keep our heads as we endured a string of irrelevant personal attacks from those in opposition to our stand in the case. We felt like Sarah was a good friend who was always able to make us feel better at each step in the case. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and would retain her services again without hesitation if a need for legal representation arose.

Would not recommend.
After hiring Sarah, I meet with her a number of times. Unfortunately, each meeting left me feeling more on my own. She was always busy responding to emails or typing on her computer and it didn’t feel like I was very important to her. During mediation she barely spoke up for me, even when I directly asked for her advice. She basically said it was up to me. But I needed guidance, I needed to know other options, or what we could fight or not. She did not provide me with any of that.
