CEO

Sarah is beyond a great attorney. Sarah took a personal interest in my case as well as my well being. I was extremely happy with the o outcome of my case, as Sarah kept me informed on my options and how to proceed. I’d highly recommend Sarah for any criminal case.

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 pati...ent 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 som...ething 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 d...efender. 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!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Garrick as co-counsel on a mixed federal/military prosecution. She was an absolute professional, and a relentless negotiator. Ultimately, she led the way and helped get to a very favorable outcome for our client. I’d be happy to work with her again, and I have ever confidence that she will be a ferocious advocate for any client."

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.
