In the right hands
I have never been in a position to need legal assistance and was scared and unsure of how to protect myself moving forward with my case. From the beginning with speaking with Sarah Garrick, her confidence and counsel made me feel reassured that everything was being done for my case. She was very patient with me and also persistent with contacting the right people. I never felt I couldn't reach her or that any question I had was too small. Nothing seemed to get by her. For example, I recieved a notice and the phone number listed as my call back number was not correct. She caught that and contacted the agency to correct it. I felt completely prepared for our hearing and got the best outcome possible. I am very grateful for Sarah Garrick. I would definitely recommend and seek her representation if I ever needed to again.

A Heart for Justice
I am very happy that Sarah Garrick is my grandson's lawyer. She is very committed to his best interests, has given us excellent advice and guidance, and is very thorough in following through with the necessary paperwork and communication. Having to go to court with a member of my family is not something that I ever dreamed would happen. She has made a situation that has been very difficult to deal with emotionally much easier to accept. She helped my grandson get the best possible outcome and helped him to see that this is not what his life should be in the future. She is a lovely and personable person and very pleasant to work with. Sarah was the perfect lawyer for us and I am very glad that she was recommended to us.

Thank you
My ex fiancé accused me of assaulting him. He lied about everything. I was arrested and charged with felony assault. Being someone that has never had more than a fix it ticket I was terrified. I was also pregnant during this time. I attended court several times while being representing by a public defender. He did nothing to help. I then found Ms. Sarah Garrick and felt as though a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. She walked me through everything, explained things I did not understand. She consulted with the court for reasonable accommodations for me during my pregnancy. Best of all she got my case DISMISSED! Words can not describe how grateful I am. I wouldn’t have gotten through this awful situation without her. Thank you Sarah!

A TRUE LADY OF JUSTICE
Sarah is an amazing esquire who is not afraid to dig in and truly understand a case. Words can’t describe Sarah Garrick’s dedication, compassion, how tenacious she is not to mention a TRUE PROFESSIONAL. She has been the only attorney on a case against a Southern California School District that actually listened, put the facts together prepared for court when two other attorneys could not resolve the case in a seven-year time frame. Sarah saw through the politics and corruption of the case discreetly pointing out them by creating a timeline for the judge to be able to see through everything that happened that allowed for a win in court. Anyone who comes across Ms.Garrick in their lifetime is truly blessed beyond belief. Sarah was always available for questions during reasonable business hours. This was the first time I knew my attorney had my best interest at hand. Ms Garrick goes above and beyond all expectations. Words can’t say enough about Ms.Garrick Esq.

Thank you Sarah
I would recommend Sarah to anyone. I was charged with multiple convictions and she protected me against an overzealous prosecution. Thanks to Sarah I can still drive and only have one conviction due to the fair deal she worked out with the DA.

Highly recommend Sarah!!
I hired Sarah (along with other family members) for an application for commutation for a close family member. We all worked together as a team with Sarah and I personally worked very closely with her, as we all did, on the application. Sarah was incredibly awesome to work with! She is extremely intelligent and savvy and she also had an innate ability to recognize the special nuances that made our family member's case unique, and she was able to highlight those nuances in a respectful and dignified manner for the application, which was successful!! Speaking on behalf of our family we are all so grateful that we were able to work with Sarah and it has meant so much to all of us who were closely involved in the process that the application was successful!! I highly recommend Sarah, as I know she will treat every case that she takes on with the same caring and personalized attention that she gave to the commutation application for our family member.

Great service
Sarah is a very good attorney. I hired her through The McCready Law firm to help me with my felony case out of Orange County. She explained everything very well, made me feel comfortable and did her homework on my case to get me the best possible deal. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a criminal attorney.

Amazing service!
I was charged with brandishing a firearm in a public place. Sarah was able to get the case completely dismissed upon completing the required tasks. Very easy to talk to and takes the court lingo and breaks it down to us simple people so that we understand what's going in every step of the way! If recommend her in any case in the future!
