Absolutely the best!

After years of battle in a miserably contentious and highly complicated divorce & alimony war that led to the heartbreaking destruction of my family, I found myself in a state of complete mental hopelessness and physical illness which nearly destroyed my life. I needed a good attorney to modify. Wh...en I hired Sarah, I was at the lowest point of my life and I didn’t have much hope. She listened intently to my story with genuine compassion and she stood by my side advocating for me every step of the way. She poured her heart and soul into helping me get my life back even though mine was not an easy scenario to face. Sarah rose to the challenge. She is an absolutely amazing attorney and person. She won’t tolerate inappropriate behavior or engage in wasteful antics. She holds the opposing party accountable! She skillfully illuminates the facts and tells the story with compelling precision. Her arguments are flawless, and she backs them up with quoted case law. Her thorough approach ensures nothing gets missed. As if her impeccable skill set wasn’t enough, her infectious personality wins over the room and results in people working together. Intelligent, compassionate, friendly and logical – Sarah inspires a spirit of partnership and resolution, rather than waging war. It was amazing to watch her work her magic. The outcome gave me my life back. Sarah is responsible for saving me. There are no words to describe my gratitude. If you are dealing with a horrible divorce, do not risk hiring anyone else. Sarah is the best there is.

Amazing Divorce Lawyer

Whoever reads this review obviously knows that separating /divorcing is hard enough. Then finding an attorney who will not just represent you, but also has YOUR best interest at heart is another challenge. I want you to know that I have worked with Sarah Bond for the last year, and the moment I step...ped foot in her office she has gone above and beyond. She is not just the trusted authority in matters divorce and family law, but she is also eloquent in the soft skills of communication. She understands that every divorce is different. It's personal. She listens, is compassionate, professional and will also challenge you to step out of your comfort zone in order to come out the best individual and parent that you can be. Sarah was consistent in clarifying, communicating and responding in a timely matter throughout my whole experience. Though I hope that my legal journey through this hard time is over with, I know and trust that Sarah will be there for me. I will only go with Zimmer, Bond, Fay & Overlund LLC when it comes to legal representation and will highly recommend them to anybody I know. I want you to know that Sarah is not just the strong woman, but also mother that I strive my girls to grow up being. I apologize for the candor, but this was a very personal journey and I am glad that I had Sarah Bond on my side. I hope this helps. Cheers.

Knowledgeable and Diligent

I highly recommend Sarah Bond to anyone who is looking for a family law attorney. She made sure I understood what my options were so I could make the best decisions on how to move forward with my case. She is very knowledgeable and diligent about her work and goes above and beyond to help settle thin...gs fairly and quickly. Sarah is also very quick to respond to all forms of communication, and really gained my trust right away after seeing all of the time and effort she put forth on my case. We had a lot of challenging obstacle to overcome, including an extremely long day in mediation. Sarah was well prepared and spent many hours reviewing bank statements, investment documents, and many other documents. She also gained as much knowledge as possible on both sides of my case, in order for us to be prepared for anything that might be presented to us. I felt more confident having Sarah by my side through such a challenging time.

She is amazing! She got me through the worst time of my life.

Sarah Bond truly is the reason I got through my horrible divorce in one piece. I have never experienced any other time in my life where I was so scared and completely overwhelmed as when my divorce began. Sarah was able to step in, get everything in order. and help me understand exactly what I need...ed to do to get things done and done right! If ever I had a question or concern she addressed them immediately with a phone call and or email. I always knew with Sarah she was working her magic and getting thing done each step along this journey the best way possible on my behalf. This allowed me to just let her do her job and focus on my job of providing the healthiest way for me and my children to get through this. Divorce is painful and a very hard time in life. I never imagined it would happen to me but unfortunately it did. I just feel so lucky I had such a competent, professional and caring lawyer like Sarah Bond at my side through out the entire process.

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney

Sarah was the perfect fit for me and I would highly recommend her to anyone I care about. I was overwhelmed by the process and complications of my divorce but Sarah confidently walked me through each part of the way. Her experience and strength were reassuring and she got the job done! What mattered ...most to me in the divorce was the fact that I could trust her. She is an honest and good human who worked hard for me do get the best solution for both me and my kids. With the divorce behind me now, I am so grateful Sarah fought hard for me to get the best possible outcome -with the bigger financial items as well as the smaller details, I walked away with a great settlement because I had Sarah in my corner.
