I can't thank Sarah enough

Sarah is not only an incredible attorney, but also an incredible human who cares about her clients and dedicates her time (weekends and late hours included) to make sure they are protected and supported. I came to Sarah after a horrible experience with my previous divorce attorney. She picked up the ...pieces and guided my through the most stressful and emotional year of my life. She helped protect my children and I from some pretty scary situations and I cannot thank her enough for that. She's honest, fair and supportive while also being fierce and fearless. She's kind and tough and can take on bullies in the best of ways. She's strategic and brilliant and helped me navigate so many tough situations. In the end, we were able to settle my divorce outside of court, which I thought was unimaginable - entirely because of Sarah's work. I am forever grateful to Sarah.

I can’t say enough

Going through a divorce is complicated and emotional. With Sarah Bond, I had an advocate, a listener, an ally, and an amazing lawyer. She helped me laugh, cry, and survive. I would recommend her without hesitation if you are looking for a talented and compassionate family law lawyer.

Sarah Bond Saved Me.

If you read all the reviews about Sarah, every word would be so accurate in describing this amazing attorney. Not wanting to repeat what has been said, here is my story about this wonderful attorney / person: I contacted and secretly retained Sarah, 3 months prior to filing for divorce. It was exa...ctly 3 months when I had enough of the verbal abuse and made him leave the home. The next day, on December 27th, I called her to pull the trigger and file. She wasted no time and filed immediately. My husband and I owned a business together and I still worked at the business so things weren't going to be easy. The following two years were so trying in everyway. Sarah was there every day if needed, to kept me grounded and sane when I thought my heart and nerves were going to actually kill me. Her voice and words would calm me in a way which I could move forward. Sarah always made me feel as though I were her only client. Most divorce cases don't go to trial, but this one did. If you want someone to represent you in trial, it's Sarah! In my case, the team Sarah put together was so prepared, knowledgeable and respected within the court system because of their credibility and preparedness. Sarah Bond saved me in every way. She will work hard to do the same for you.

Would highly recommend her

If you are reading this I'm sorry you are in need of an attorney. Sarah was wonderful, my ex had a lot of unexpected and unpleasant surprise's for me. Sarah is always good about getting back to me and was able to help me undo a lot of the financial damage my ex caused. I get that I was paying her ...to be on my side, but I felt like she was really on my side and I can trust her to have my best interest. I hope to never need a divorce attorney again but if I do I will definitely go back to Sarah. She is really a great attorney.

Would Highly Recommend

I went to Zimmer Bond for a consultation and was introduced to Sarah Bond that day. I waited a period of time before I made a decision about the need or want for a divorce. I had been married for many years. From the first time I met Sarah she was professional with a warmth and compassion that I ne...eded. She took time to go over how things may go and gave me an approximate estimate of the process may cost. It was apparent that she was experienced and knowledgeable. Her knowledge and guidance was right on target. My situation was complicated and I felt supported and informed through the whole process. Her estimates of cost and time where right on target also - I never felt that she or her firm was trying to get more money or drag the process out in any way. I hope that no one has to go through a divorce, however, if they do I would more than recommend Sarah Bond and Zimmer Bond & Fay.
