Posted by Sara | September 20, 2021 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very personable and compassionate

She is very helpful, very compassionate and very personable. Communication with her is very easy and smooth and clear which is rare with most lawyers.

An Amazing Help

Sarah was there since the beginning, she became a part of our family right away. She made us feel comfortable around her and was trustworthy. Sarah always kept us informed with everything and did her best work with our case. She does not only see you as her client but as part of her family, she under...stands what you are going through and helps you get through it .We can definitely recommend her without any regret.

Lost and confused in San Francisco

Sarah wasn't given much time to prepare for my court date but still accepted my case and handled it in a timely manner and extremely professionally. She even executed an outline during her vacation! I felt very comfortable with her despite my difficulty telling my story. She was extremely patient an...d very kind. Every time I remember Sarah and what she did for me my heart melts. I highly recommend Ms.Haselup!

Excellent Attorney with a heart

Sarah, Is kind and patient and good at what she does. I had an extremely difficult and time-consuming case, she always made me feel like I was important and that my case mattered to her. She saw me through to the end, explaining everything in detail and keeping me aware of what the process was. She d...id an amazing job and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a competent, committed, and caring attorney who is highly effective at what she does.

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.
