I hired Sarah to handle a child support modification in a very contentious divorce. I felt at a disadvantage against my ex's deep bench of attorneys and bully tactics. Sarah expertly removed both clients personal issues and focused on successfully negotiating a fair modification. I believe everyone walked away satisfied which I never thought was possible. She is very knowledgeable of the law and was not deterred by the complexity of my case. Sarah was honest, fair, and achieved every desired result. I would highly recommend Sarah and her team for any family law matter.
Professional, knowledgeable, and know how to get it done!
I feel so lucky! I've heard horror stories of people's divorces and dealing with their lawyers so was super apprehensive about hiring anyone. However, I contacted Litowich Law and spoke to Zachary and felt like it would be a good fit. He listened to me. He understood what I wanted and how I wanted this to happen as far as the tone of the divorce process. He may have disagreed with me on some issues, but we talked about them and he would explain the legalities of the issues, and we would come to an agreement. He was so supportive and real and very patient. Everyone was very professional and helpful. I never thought I would be in this situation but it was good to know Zach had my back!
At Litowich Law, our job is to help solve problems and we’re good at it. Our 5 Star ratings show just how satisfied Litowich Law clients are. Coupled with our strong advocacy and legal skills, our dedication to providing diligent, compassionate, and efficient service are just what you need to guide you toward a better future.

Professional and Caring
I feel very fortunate to have found Sarah Litowich during a very trying time in my life. She represented me in a professional and classy manner. It would be far too easy for an attorney to focus solely on legal issues but that is where Sarah is different. She took the time to listen and evaluate how these issues were impacting my life. She helped me make decisions I feel good about and was able to obtain the resolution I was hoping for. A perfect combination of professionalism and compassion is a rare gem to find.

Smart, savvy, articulate, and kind legal representation
Ms. Sarah Litowich agreed to take on my case when my previous attorney couldn’t complete my legal work in an efficient or timely manner.
Sarah met with me, carefully reviewed my situation, and with the assistance of her excellent paralegal, Amy, drafted and filed the necessary legal documents to move my case forward to a very satisfactory conclusion.
She was kind and professional throughout the process, patiently and clearly explaining legal concepts. Sarah respected my intelligence and treated me as an equal partner in my proceedings. I especially appreciated that Sarah understood that my divorce case was relatively straightforward and congenial. She didn’t stir up drama but rather found the right balance in defending my interests while still working effectively and collaboratively with the opposing attorney. That said, I would also trust Sarah to be my advocate in a more contentious case because she is strong, smart, savvy, and articulate. In short, Ms. Sarah Litowich is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend her.

Stress free!
Divorce is already a stressful ordeal and the last thing anyone wants in this situation is more stress. Luckily, Sarah and Amy made the process as quick and simple as possible. Sarah was very attentive and understanding and made sure I understood the process in its entirety as well as explaining additional potential outcomes and variables.
Amy was always super quick to respond to emails, extremely patient and understanding, and kept me appraised of where I was in the process at all times. For someone like me, this was extremely helpful.
I also greatly appreciated the multiple options available for submitting documents, signatures, and even payments. I dont always have time to meet face to face or drive around dropping off paperwork and such so the electronic communication and document options were a lifesaver.
I highly recommend Sarah and her team to anyone who finds themselves in this situation!

Child Custody
This was a custody case where the father left the kids in our care and never came back for them and hasn't provided any support for 2 years. This case was unusual because the mother lives in the Philippines and wouldn't give us her address for a long time and the father hid from everyone for about 9 months to keep from having to support his children. We finally were able to get both their address after a long wait and she was able to get them served. We finally got custody by default. Sarah handle this in a professional manner. One nice thing though, she was able to handle our case with email and secure esignatures, which means we could review and sign documents easily and conveniently. We would recommend Sarah to handle a child custody case.

Compassionate Family Lawyer who works for results.
Sarah worked hard to make clear expectations for us and for the case. She explained what might happen in each situation and how the law would affect the outcome. She helped provide a clear understanding of the best possible outcome in the case and continually re-focused us on the end goal, not the fleeting emotional toll of the case.
Keeping us up to date on the case and helping craft strategies for the desired outcome, Sarah was a hard-working, clear-headed voice of reason. She listened with compassion to the details of the case free of judgement. When asked to respect our financial resources she responded with options that were less costly while still providing the necessary direction for the case.
If you are looking for a compassionate, competent and caring family lawyer I would highly recommend Sarah Litowich.

The very best.
Ms Litowich represented me in a very high conflict divorce and custody case. I just cannot say enough great things about her. She is professional, intelligent, full of integrity and morals, which is soooo rare and hard to find in an attorney. She takes family law very seriously, and really goes above and beyond to make sure that you and your family are taken care of in every aspect. She listens, and you do get results. Judges and other court staff respect her, which can be tricky for a female attorney, since the court of law is still very much a "man's world". I was fighting for the most important thing in my entire life, my child, and Sarah understood the high stakes. She REALLY cares about the best interest of the child. She is easy to contact and communicate with, and her paralegal, Amy, is on the ball and extremely kind and pleasant to deal with. Don't mess around hiring anyone else, when the stakes are as high as custody/adoption/family issues, you really don't want to waste time and money with anyone who isn't the very best. Thank you so much, Sarah. You are my attorney for life, and me & my daughter can never thank you enough.

Professional, Honest, Go Getter!
In my professional dealings with Mrs. Litowich, I found her to be a very strait forward and honest individual; that was willing not only to fight for what was right, but could be an open ear this listen to my frustration about my case and bring a calming understanding of "Why" things were going the way they were. She and her staff, alway's demonstrated the utmost professionalism, courtesy, and willingness to go the extra mile; even to be available on vacation, should and emergency take place.
I can't begin to say enough about Mrs. Litowich, as a father, she fought hard for the desire of my child. As a veteran, she stood her ground against the oposition to protect my privacy.

Mrs. Litowich is a no-nonsense attorney. She was straightforward with me about every aspect of my case, good or bad. Her attitude in the court room is ferocious, and she never let opposing attorneys get away with snide comments on record (little feel-good victories). If Mrs. Litowich were still in the area, I would hire her again if the need arose. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a divorce or child custody/support attorney.

Excellent, ethical & determined
I recently retained Sarah Litowich for a difficult custody issue. I was nervous, as I've never had to retain a lawyer for anything before. Sarah explained everything to me in a way that I could understand, and worked very hard on my behalf. She is thorough, always had my best interests in mind. She went above and beyond for me, and I would absolutely recommend Sarah Litowich to anyone who needs legal assistance.

Excellent advice and professionalism
I consulted with Sarah Hays to potentially defend me for a traffic violation. She and I spoke for less than 30 minutes about the options that I had available. Her explanation and advice was exceptionally clear and helpful. I decided to defend myself which was an excellent decision. I have a lot of respect for a lawyer such as Sarah who shares professional knowledge for the benefit of the client without the pressure of expecting that hiring the layer must be the outcome. She acted professionally and in my best interests.

Excellent lawyer!
I am from Michigan and I was visiting friends in Oregon, on vacation. Ms. Hays represented me when I received a Speeding ticket and the case was eventually dismissed. I never had to come back to Oregon for anything. Would recommend highly without any reservation!
Response from Sarah LitowichMarch 4, 2015
I am so glad that I as able to help you and save you the expense of having to return to Oregon (as pretty as the state may be). Best wishes to you!

I entirely relied on her.
I am a non-resident alien living in New York City, and I got pulled over by a police officer in Oregon while on vacation. I was given a citation for reckless driving and a speeding ticket.
Mrs. Sarah Hays accepted to represent me in this double case. Although I should have returned to Oregon at some point, she worked it out so I could stay in NYC for the whole procedure. She expressly negotiated a diversion with the State of Oregon regarding the reckless driving misdemeanor and, eventually, she argued successfully that paying a speeding ticket would have been punishing me twice. I ended up serving only 8 hours of community service and taking an online driving course.
Due to my foreigner status, she gathered, as a courtesy, information on the immigration consequences I could have faced if I had been convicted. Mrs. Hays was always reachable for any questions, and she proved herself to be very knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. I am extremely thankful for her representing me and having given me this peace of mind throughout these months.

Excellent job!!!
Sarah Hays is outstanding in her performance on child custody issues. She was able to assist in getting our child from her state to the child's residing state before it was too late to act. Process went smoothly and quicker than anticipated.
I would recommend her to anyone who needs a family law attorney.
