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 recently helped my wife and I set up a living trust and establish our wills, durable power of attorney, and healthcare directives. She was a pleasure to work with, and I am very happy with the documents she drafted for us. Sara responded to emails and phonecalls promptly, which is definitely not... guaranteed in my experience working with attorneys. Sara clearly had thorough knowledge of the relevant legal issues and sound strategies for dealing with future expected (and unexpected) events. Being an engineer, I really appreciated how organized she was with our documentation - she had a really good system for keeping all of the paperwork straight and it was obvious she had thought deeply about how to make her system work for the clients. Sara explained everything clearly, so we knew exactly what we were signing, and sent us home with a well-organized binder of documents and written lists of tasks we needed to complete on our own (with banks, etc). Because of her clarity and organization, I am confident we set up a solid estate plan, and nothing was overlooked. Following up on this earlier review, for the last 5 years Sara has continued to be our go-to attorney for keeping our wills, trust, and advance directives up to date as life changes happen. She is always responsive, helpful, courteous and works quickly to get your requests taken care of. We still recommend her wholeheartedly for estate planning services.

  • 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.
