Amazing!

Sara handled my case amazing. I do not trust easily, but I learned quickly she has the best interest not for me, but the best interest for my children and that's something that is important. I would highly recommend Sara for anyone wanting a no game playing lawyer. She is honest and tells you things ...straight.... And she wins.

An excellent, straight-forward attorney

When I realized I needed a divorce attorney, I read many reviews and decided on Sara because her clients’ descriptions and her own words on her website suggested a person who would use her knowledge and experience to give me a realistic and honest understanding of the situation. Also, she had taken ...cases that were not easy wins and had a well-rounded liberal arts education likely providing the capacity to see multiple angles and consider non-standard circumstances. In addition, she seemed highly intelligent, articulate and valued high standards for her own character and her work. All of this proved to be true. The office of Sara and her husband John, a mediator, is totally run by the two of them; they have no secretary to answer their own phones and copy papers. This helps cut down on expenses and gives you a sense of connection with them as people and a legal team. When I first met Sara, I did not have the money for a retainer or anything more than the amount required for a first meeting. However, by the end of listening to her initial advice, I had a good idea about what I could fight for and what would probably be a losing battle. Sara does not play games nor does she coddle you and this is exactly what I wanted: someone to tell me the absolute, unvarnished truth. We kept in touch during the first months of my separation and when I was able to get the retainer, she was careful in her use of these funds. At the end of each month, she sends a statement explaining how the money was used. It was very straight-forward. Since divorce is an emotional roller-coaster, it is sometimes tempting to seek encouragement and solace from your attorney, but you have to remember that every conversation you have takes her time and your money. With that said, she was extremely fair and amicable through it all even when I was rattled. There is no doubt that Sara is your advocate during the process. She will fight hard for you, but she works from a foundation of decency that is based on the understanding that this is not a battle to squelch and ruin the other person. She embodies the belief that the goal is to seek a final judgment that is fair, honest and honorable. I wouldn’t have had it any other way and would recommend her to anyone seeking a divorce.

She answers her own phone...awesome!

I just completed using Sara as my divorce attorney. She did an amazing job supporting me in a calm, kind, realistic, and positive way. She answers her own phone or calls you back (no secretary or para-legal). When you email her she usually emails you back within 15 minutes or less when she is in h...er office. This is all so helpful when dealing with the most stressful and critical issues in your life. Her fees were fair and clear. I highly recommend Sara Angeletti for your legal needs!

Great Lawyer!

My situation wasn't very complicated, but Sara did an amazing job handling every aspect of my case. I never thought I would need a to hire an attorney to deal with parenting time, but I'm glad I did, and I'm glad it was Her! To anyone on the fence about hiring a lawyer, just know that it’s worth ev...ery penny when it’s a good one. There is a lot that is involved with family law, and having an expert to guide you through it is invaluable.

Divorce

Sara represented me in my divorce. She was very professional, kind and efficient. She made sure that I was protected legally. She was straight forward about the laws and obviously has experience in this field. I would highly recommend her.
