Fantastic and Exceptional Lawyer

If I were starting a family law practice, Sarah would be my first choice to lead it. She is absolutely phenomenal. Her care and attention to detail were exceptional, however it’s her quality as a person that will separate her from other great lawyers. Sarah’s ability to make one of the most stressful... moments in a person’s life not only manageable but productive, is a testament to her skill level as a lawyer. I consulted with many lawyers before I chose Sarah as my lawyer, and I knew in my first consultation that she would be my lawyer - my only thought was I wish that everyone who truly wanted a fair and just lawyer who could help them during a stressful time could have the opportunity to work with her. Sarah is skilled in every aspect of family law, so if your are getting a divorce or modifying a parenting plan, Sarah is the best choice. Save yourself a lot of time, stress, and anxiety by hiring Sarah first. It will be one of the best decisions you make.

Business Consultant

Sara was fantastic! She met my needs and then some. She is very smart, kind and helpful. Very professional and very knowledgable of the law. She navigated through my divorce with ease and was always available to me. Highly recomend her service to anyone looking for a divorce attorney who is sharp and... professional.

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.

Awesome Representation!

I was represented by Sarah Bond in a parenting plan modification and move away case. I needed to move more than 60 miles away from my children’s mother, and therefore also needed to modify the parenting plan. Sarah was very upfront and honest about the difficulties I would face in this case. She pr...ovided me with extensive case studies so I could make informed decisions. Despite constant obstacles from my ex wife and opposing counsel, Sarah always kept us on the ethical high road. Her communication skills are impeccable and she remains calm and professional at all times. She is an amazing attorney and a genuinely good person. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney!

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.
