Above and beyond

I’m really late at writing this, but my husband and I hired Sara Anderson to help with termination of parental rights, stepparent adoption and a restraining order. We actually didn’t even meet with any other lawyers, the second we walked out after our consultation we both agreed she was the one we wa...nted on our side. From day one she and her team were always quick to respond, open and honest and worked incredibly hard to get everything we wanted. Honestly, it felt like family was fighting for us rather than just a law practice. We are incredibly thankful for her and her team. They took one of the most stressful and scary moments in our life and handled it perfectly. Her and her teams knowledge and determination are the reasons we got exactly what we wanted in the end. We recommend them anytime someone needs a family law lawyer. Truly, they are the best. It’s been 2 years and we still talk about how much we appreciate Sara and everything she did for us. Because of her and everyone in the office, our family is whole and there is nothing more that we could have asked for. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond and fight for you until the very end, Sara Anderson is without a doubt the person you want. A million times thank you to her and everyone in her office.

Respectful, Expeditious, Insightful service

Sara and the rest of the team at Sherlock // Anderson were provided me with expert legal advice that was timely, effective, and accurate. Throughout the course of my divorce, Sara patiently provided thorough explanations of terminology and procedures, as well as helped to set proper expectations. W...e established goals for the outcome and we achieved those goals. I have a disabled son and she addressed his long-term well being with sensitivity and ensured that his care and happiness were at the core of our efforts. She also ensured that my sons were safeguarded from a parent with a substance abuse problem. I would have been lost without her counsel. The team at Sherlock // Anderson is incredibly responsive and respectful. They work in concert to provide an efficient, effective client experience. I never felt like there were unnecessary charges or expenses. I received the referral from a friend who is an attorney and I have thanked him repeatedly for directing me towards Sherlock // Anderson.

Client

Sara and her team were wonderful to work with. Sara did a great job representing my case. I was so grateful to have met someone who was honest, kind, empathetic and patient. Going through a divorce is extremely difficult, painful and emotional. With her expertise and guidance, I trusted her judgment ...and was so grateful in the end. Most importantly, I really appreciated the collaborative effort and attorney-client relationship we had, which is so hard to find.

Saved my soul

I wasn't sure what to say at first so I had to think about it for a few months. I guess I will just get to the point. Before I went to Mrs. Anderson, I had only seen my kids 6 months out of 7 years. The divorce custody papers were not being adhered too and I did not have the money to fight for my kid...s. She was moving wherever she wanted. Did what ever she wanted and brought whoever she wanted around my kids. My kids did not like nor want to be with their mom and were scared of the people she brought around them and her new husband. She would not listen. I was not able to be a father. The kids were not with who was best for them. Thanks to me hiring Mrs. Anderson, she brought me from rarely seeing my kids, to having full custody. I don't know what I would have done without her. I don't think I would have been whole. I couldn't be happier with what she did for me and my family. My kids tell me to tell her thank you all the time. They say they are with the parent who loves them and they want to be with and it's thanks to Mrs. Anderson.

Worth the Search

My experience with Sara began in May of 2014 with a free consultation where I was given professional information and told to "weigh out my options". After that meeting, I was convinced that Sara would be the one and only lawyer that would be just for me and my daughter's delicate situation. Two yea...rs passed and it was inevitable that I would be heading to court (so I thought) and so I began to look up Sara and even though it took a little searching...she was worth the search! Sara remembered my situation and immediately began to draw up a plan of action. Sara was able to locate the other party when I was unable to, speak with him and allow for their to be a "happy medium" for the both of us that would be in the best interest of our daughter, and prevent us from going to court. Sara handled my case in a timely manner, saved us time and money, and was an absolute delight to speak with professionally and personally. I would like to give Sara Anderson a special thank you...Thank you Sara, from the bottom of my heart and I wish you and yours the merriest Christmas ever.
