Complicated custody case

I consulted with three other lawyers before meeting Sarah and hiring her to represent me in a custody revision. Sarah took a totally different approach to my complicated and urgent situation than the other attorneys I consulted with, and I'm happy to say that her approach was successful. We ended u...p settling outside of court (something I never would have thought possible- given the contentious relationship with my ex, and the fact that we were already in the family court system). Sarah helped guide me through negotiations, and eventually we were able to solidify an agreement which returned sole legal custody to me, and changed the parenting time schedule to one that my child is much happier with. Sarah was knowledgable, professional, and I also really appreciate how available she is to her clients. She always responded to my calls and emails promptly, and being able to communicate with her via text was very convenient. While I hope to have a break from legal matters, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Sarah again should I need legal help.

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.
