Sara Angeletti

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.

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.

Sara represented me during my very complicated divorce process. The whole process took a year and a half, the trial itself three and a half days. Sara was very professional and caring at the same time. At the beginning of our work together she asked me to trust her and try not to micromanage. I am g...lad I did. She never missed any deadline, was very upfront about the cost and benefits of any potential actions. No surprise charges. Sara manages her own office which helps to keep the cost of the services down. Best of all Sara 100% won my trial. She got an even better result when I was expecting or asking for. I am so glad that I hired Sara and will highly recommend her to everybody.

Sara took us on after being turned down 3 other places. She is patient, understanding, and kind when telling you the reality of your situation. She was very knowledgeable in foreseeing how the court of Lane county would receive our case and tailored our request to slide through the court system witho...ut any issues. We came in to update our parenting plan and she was able to point out other discrepancies in our original judgement that would be in our favor to change as well. I'm sure it's possible we are an exception, but from the day we signed the papers with Sara to the day we parted ways was 45 days in total. Never could have asked for better, faster, more personal service.
