An attorney worth paying for

I was recently backed into a corner and nowhere to turn, completely helpless, suffering a 5+ year nightmare experience in Santa Clara Family Court system. Having gone through more money than I care to remember, 3 attorneys, endless unjust and unfair sanctions and judgements. By chance I met a person ...who heard my story and that person said you need my friend Sage I will tell her your story and when you call her she will listen and defend you guaranteed. In fact, calling Sage was the best call I could have ever made Sage listened and instilled hope in a horrible ongoing struggle. For the first time on 5+ years my stress level is way down because of Sage who has proven to have excellent analytical and research skills, the will and ability to perform deep research related to my case, her attention to detail, persuasive communication and written communications are matched by her genuine interpersonal skills. To date Sage was the first attorney that the judge would listen to she has created the most effective plans of action and results out preforming 5+ years of work and 3 other attorneys’ in an extremely short period of time. Sage is the most professional representation of an attorney earning and deserving the highest recommendation. Please feel free to reach out to me and I will personally, vouch for Sage. An attorney with a heart WHO KNEW?

A complicated divorce resolved by Sage

When I hired Sage I had already experienced 2 years of being poorly represented by another legal counsel. When Sage took my case she listened to me as I recounted all the details about the marriage and what had been done thus far with the dissolution of marriage. She was very patient and asked many ...questions to make sure she understood my needs and my concerns. She's a skilled negotiator and she worked very diligently to resolve my case so that I can be secure in this next phase of my life. I absolutely recommend her for even the most high stakes and complex dissolutions of marriage.

Words are not enough, but here goes...

While going through what I'm certain was and will always be the worst time of my life for myself and my youngest daughter, Sage was my pillar of strength. When I could not keep my emotions in check, Sage was everything that I needed to be but simply couldn't be due to my emotions at the time. Sag...e was completely non-judgemental, fair and always logical. I was able to comfortably be myself, as well as misdirect some emotions her way, without her taking it personally. All the while she maintained professional, thorough, and using her vast experience with the law, did what was best for myself and my family. Athough she was my attorney, I will keep her eternally close to my heart, because without her all would be lost. I highly recommend this incredibly intelligent, compassionate, diplomatic, professional to anyone who is suffering through any type of legal unfairness. She will do everything in her power make sure that she is following all leads, leaving no stone unturned, to help you the way that she helped me. I can't say enough about this individual. I trust her completely with my life, my child, and my affairs. I don't know where I would be without her. I am forever grateful.

Our Lifesaver

I was living a nightmare for the last several years but I reached out to Sage and she took such good care of me and my young son. She was there at every turn, she was aggressive, knowledgeable, and professional. I honestly believe that she created a legal strategy that saved my son’s life. There is n...o doubt that my son’s father would’ve done severe harm to him. Now he can have a normal childhood free from abuse and trauma. I will never be able to repay her for all that she’s done for us. I am forever indebted to her. Sage is an incredible attorney.
