Responsive, Supportive, Pragmatic

I worked with Sarah and she was amazing. She responds to questions quickly and clearly. She is pragmatic in her advice and is great at explaining options and alternatives. She made a tough situation way better. She's calming, supporting and all around great to work with. Can't recommend her enough.

Dedicated Attorney

Sarah Weddle is a dedicated and hard-working attorney. She will take the time to figure out what is best for her clients and will devote all resources available to her in order to ensure that she is well-prepared, her clients are kept informed and she obtains a favorable outcome for them. She has bee...n a pleasure to work with and I know that anyone in need of a family law attorney is in good hands with her.

An excellent family law attorney

Sarah is a very knowledgeable and thorough family law attorney. She has been very responsive from day one, and has been doing a fantastic job at educating me with all the traps and pitfalls to avoid in the complex family code, for us to build the best defense possible in my case. Indeed, I can tell I... was very lucky to find her only one day before my first hearing and she handled for me all of the scary paperwork overnight. Ever since, I could appreciate how much her representing me has spared me what would have been otherwise a disaster if I had decided instead to represent myself before the court and all the petitioner's claims. I am very glad to be able to recommend Sarah to defend you with everything related to child custody, child and spousal support, separation settlements, and the like.

Family lawyer | Mar 05

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Sarah interned for me years ago, and she is a wonderful person. If you are pondering her to represent you, trust me, you cannot do better. She is conscientious, considerate, caring, … you really cannot do better. Do not pass "Go," forget collecting $200 (am I dating myself?), hire Sarah."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jan 31

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Sarah and I were on opposite sides of a family law dispute. Sarah has a masterful knowledge of family law and she vigorously advocated the interests of her client in a way that promoted a fair settlement of the case. My client was very impressed with Sarah's advocacy and he made it clear to me that he wanted to settle the case and not go to trial. What also impressed me about Sarah was her concern for keeping her client's costs down, which also enabled me to keep my client's costs down."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
