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

Posted by

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.

RD Pascoe, Family Attorney on May 11, 2018
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I recently worked with Sarah on a difficult case that had lingered for over a year. Sarah was professional and excellent to work with and ultimately we were able to settle the case to the advantage of both sides.

Jeremy Shufflebarger, Child custody Attorney on Sep 22, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I highly endorse Sarah Lamborne. I recently had a case with Sarah involving troubling allegations. Sarah strongly advocated for her client's position while providing reasonable solutions in an attempt to resolve the case without unnecessary litigation. She remained a zealous representative of her client, while never taking action which would unnecessarily increase the client's fees or costs.

Kara Clark, Child custody Attorney on Sep 21, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Sarah is incredibly hardworking and diligent in her representation. She works hard to negotiate with the opposing party to reach an agreement that is in the best interest of her client while also reducing unnecessary litigation expenses. She is kind and compassionate while working with people who may be going through a very difficult time.
