Great experience!

My parents used Sara Diamond for their estate planning. She was great! Not only was she very professional and thorough but she was available to answer their questions, answered emails quickly and accommodated their special requests. She is easy to talk to and very patient. She makes the process simpl...e and smooth!

Estate Planning

Sara has been my estate planning attorney for more than three years and produced our living trust, wills, and durable power of attorneys. When life changed, she updated deeds for my property and my mother's property. Most recently, I was closing out an inherited IRA and the investment company gave me... unclear information. An email to Sara explaining the problem was quickly answered with a solution and talking points to the investment company. I am very pleased with her work, and I have referred her to a couple of friends.

Professional, Experienced, Knowledgable, Kind

Sara R. Diamond has been my estate planning attorney for more than ten years, through a variety of life changes, including the death of my spouse. She is very good at what she does, combining knowledge and experience with the empathy needed in this emotionally difficult area. She is quick with her w...ork and responsive to communications. She is SO good that I have referred several friends to her, as well as my aging, planning-resistant parents. We have all been pleased with the results. I trust her 100%, and give her my highest recommendation.

A Mother's Endorsement

We contacted Sara when my son received his terminal diagnosis. She listened carefully to his wishes, offered clear and sound advise, and prioritized his case. I'm so thankful that Sara was there for us. My son passed away only 5 weeks after his trust was finalized. As his trustee, I was charged ...with executing his final wishes. Sara's support and guidance streamlined that process for me.

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.
