Sarah is great

I've been very happy with Sarah so far. She's on the ball, listens to what you want, and explains things in a way that makes sense. She prepares documents and gets them e-mailed to me for review and answers any questions I have really fast. I would use her again in a heartbeat and have recommended he...r to a few of my friends.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
