"Sara is an impressive attorney with impeccable credentials and a stellar practice record. She is highly respected among her fellow attorneys and works hard to give back to the community while still providing her clients with exceptional representation. I endorse this lawyer without reservation."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Sara Peters on forming and running a non-profit group called Attorneys Bettering the Community. I've found her to be extremely dedicated, knowledgeable and hardworking. I have complete confidence in her abilities and would not hesitate in recommending her."
"I have worked with Sara through the Edward McFetridge Inn of Court and know her to be an incredibly sharp lawyer who was willing to take on a big project that no one else wanted and make it a success. She also exhibited confidence and poise in presenting to a large audience of lawyers and judges. I am delighted to endorse her."
"I had the pleasure of working with Sara Peters as an intern at Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy when we were both still in law school. Sara is not only an intelligent and hardworking attorney, but she also makes time to give back to her community by participating in and organizing various fundraisers and events. In December 2009, Sara and four other attorneys (including myself) came together to create the non-profit "Attorneys Bettering the Community" (ABC). She is an active member on the ABC board of directors. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a skilled attorney."
"I've done jury consulting for Sara and have seen her trial preparation process and presentation style. She is passionate and thorough in her preparation, and polished and persuasive in front of jurors. A client with a serious injury claim would be in good hands with her."
"I wholeheartedly endorse Ms. Peters. I've known Sara for a number of years and know her to be incredibly intelligent, driven, and committed to her job and everything else she does. I've referred a number of clients to Sara all of whom have been very pleased with her advocacy for and representation of them. I will unequivocally continue to refer friends, family and colleagues to Sara."
"I have had the privilege of working with Sara Peters for several years. Because she is always courteous and calm, opposing counsel are often overwhelmed by her fierce intelligence before they even know what hit them. Her clients hold her in high esteem. She is persuasive in the courtroom, to juries and judges. I endorse Sara."
"While in law school, Sara Peters and I worked together as summer associates and have remained friends over the years. Currently, she serves as opposing counsel on multiple cases with my firm, and despite our adversarial positions in those cases, she has always acted with integrity, class and professionalism. I look forward to working with Ms. Peters in the years to come."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Sara since 2006. In that time, we have worked together on several personal injury and medical malpractice cases. The hallmarks to her approach to the practice of law are constant hard work, dedication to her clients and focus on excellence in advocacy. I view working with Sara and learning from her as a true privilege."
