Posted by Frederick | September 17, 2013 | Criminal Defense

Great Lawyer :D

Sara handled my court case really well. She'll email and/or call you about the situation and will work with you to lower or dismiss the charges. Highly recommended!

Posted by Britany | September 11, 2013 | DUI & DWI

Excellent lawyer.

Sara handled the speeding enhancement attached to my DUI creatively and efficiently. She kept me informed throughout the entire process, and her genuine personality helped keep me at ease when the road ahead seemed bleak. Sara took the time to get to know me, and this, coupled with her extensive know...ledge of the law, lead to my speeding enhancement being dropped, and jail time was avoided altogether.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
