Made my Hero List!

My husband was arrested for a prohibited possessor charge a d I tried everything I could to find a way to get it dismissed. Sarah came out to me in her lobby and gave me 1 1/2 hours of her time without an appointment to help me understand the seriousness behind my husbands case A minamum of 10 yea...rs! I was floored. She communicated with my husband and me and did everything she said she would do. It was not a dismissable case. She even got a change of venue and the best Judge with morals, fairness, and integrity. Even the DA chilled out. She turned a 10+ year sentance to 18 months and most is time served! She did an excellent job. If she ever runs for Judge she has my vote. She has excellent communication skills is genuine, and all balls out defender. She truly cares about her clients and their fate as well as the families of her clients. If you are a lucky one to be assigned Ms. West that relax, exhale, your in the best hands you can get. I promise. Thank you Sarah you are our Hero of the year!

IFTA sticker missing

Sara was a godsend for myself, as well my career! Sara was able to take a criminal violation, and a 1,000.00 fine, and not just plea to a lesser charge....but totally get the case dismissed! Thanks again for your help!

5 Stars for Sarah and the Tyler Allen Law Firm!

Sarah was able to get all three of my charges dismissed despite a new prosecutor and office policy restrictions. There is no doubt in my mind that she is passionate about fighting for her clients and making their lives easier. I felt 100% comfortable trusting her with my case and have full confidence... that she went above and beyond to get my charges cleared, something another lawyer might not have done. Sarah West and the Tyler Allen law team are top notch!

One of a Kind

From the moment I met my lawyer, Sarah West, I was humbled by the rapport she had with the people around her down to the prosecutor. She was able to quickly grasp the situation of my wants and needs and base a plan off of, not what we could get away with, but what I truly wanted in the end which, for... her representation, was the least amount of points on my license of excessive speeding which was originally cited by the police officer as an aggressive driving charge which would have potentially suspended my license. When you put your faith in Ms. Sarah West, i can definitely without a doubt say that the representation is fair and straightforward with an eventual happy turnout in your favor.

Criminal Speeding citation reduced to a civil citation and reduced fine

Sarah West was able to hear the dire medical situation I was facing and was able to articulate this to the court in a remote Arizona county know for zero-tolerance in "Criminal Speeding" prosecutions. By doing this, her representation saved me from having a permanent criminal record and subsequent p...ossible job loss. Her direct conferences with the prosecutor, whom she knew well, prior to my case reaching the judge was something I could have never achieved on my own and is a true plus when hiring Sarah for representation. I am truly indebted to her for her compassion in representing my case honestly and fairly to the court with an outcome of a much reduced civil penalty and small fine. I could not have asked for a more wonderful attorney to represent me. The ease of speaking with her about difficult topics and her ability to appear on my behalf (which saved me from having to come back to Arizona) were just wonderful pluses. l know all results will vary based on each clients' case, but Sarah made a huge positive difference in my life and I highly recommend her.
