You're in great hands with Sarah

Sarah Armstrong with ARWJ is smart, thorough and caring. She looks out for your best interest and effectively communicates the legal process. You're in great hands with Sarah.

Poor responsiveness to case

The communication from Sarah and her team was lacking, to say the least. Multiple times throughout the process, I did not hear from them for weeks even when I left messages. I saw her other outstanding reviews, and was hoping for the same treatment. She was easy to contact when needing the initial in...terview, but follow-up was not. She seems to be overbooked or perhaps she just wrote me off. Its difficult for me to understand the lack of professionalism and courtesy when you are charged over $300 an hour and the importance of the legal matter in your life is great.

You Want Sarah In Your Corner!

Sarah Armstrong and her team are amazing! I am so thankful I had Sarah in my corner. I appreciate all she did for myself and my son! I will contact her again if I ever need assistance in the future!

The kind of attorney you want in your corner

My experience with Sarah and ARWJ Law has been a powerful education in the value of an excellent family law attorney, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Sarah Armstrong is detailed, focused, highly intelligent and is a powerful advocate who has consistently taken time to assess my situation ...and my specific priorities while navigating what are often difficult, emotional and complex issues. She has provided a consistently high level of advocacy, strength and knowledge that has proven priceless to me and my family. The staff at Armstrong, Roth, Whitley Johnstone are quick and detailed, and they are compassionate and honest. I highly recommend Sarah and ARWJ Law.

BEYOND COMPARE

Sarah Armstrong is worth everything! I’ve had an ongoing custody case for 5 years. She whole heartedly work hard to help me. I now have sole legal and sole physical custody of my son. I am beyond satisfied with her work and ethics. Sarah is definitely who anyone should chose to represent your case....
