A+ Would Recommend

Sarah was excellent through every phase of my separation and divorce. When I encountered a situation outside of her expertise, she guided me to a colleague who got a great outcome. Needless to say, I was not always the 'happiest camper' to be getting divorced. Sarah remained steady regardless of my d...emeanor, consistently and calmly focused on the next point of business. And as each 'hurtle' approached, time and again it was cleared satisfactorily. Just about every component of my divorce settled in an acceptable if not favorable fashion. Communication was always good. Billing seemed fair. There is much to be grateful for having chosen Sarah for my divorce and how it all went.

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.

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.

Tough and Terrific

If you're looking for a attorney who will represent you in a divorce case, look no further! She will not back down in negotiations, even when her client is willing to do so, thus protecting her clients best interests. She is great returning calls and communicating with her clients. Zimmer Family Law ...is #1 in my book, lead by a fantastic principle, Gary Zimmer! If you want results, choose Zimmer Family Law!
