Posted by Daniel | July 21, 2026 | Hired Attorney

Sarah is smart, efficient, detail oriented and won my case by a landslide.

Having been falsely accused of something I did not do, I know that without strong legal representation, this case could easily turn into something that derailed my life, my work and my liberty. I turned to Sarah Tietz and her firm to represent me, and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Every...one in their firm is highly knowledgeable, responsible, timely and treated me with dignity and respect. They never blamed me for anything I was accused of and were extremely supportive from start to finish. I didn't know anything about Law, legal procedures, how to file any documentation, briefs, or submit anything to the court. Sarah and her firm made my part as simple as possible with minimum effort from me, and was able to defend me to the fullest extent. Everything typed up by Sarah and her firm looked impeccable and was formated professionally. During the trial, Sarah's experience as a trial lawyer, indisputable preparations, and her vast Law knowledge resulted in a landslide victory in my favor. My case was dismissed on the spot and I will most certainly be reaching out to Ms. Sarah Tietz again for any future civil or criminal defense representation going forward. The best representation you can hire. I would highly recommend, because she is the absolute best at what she does- defending YOU.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jun 09

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I had the pleasure of supervising Sarah when we were both at the King County Department of Public Defense and now am lucky to call her a coworker in private practice. Sarah is fearless and relentless. She brings a fight to cases that I can say many lawyers simply do not possess. But beyond that, she truly cares for each of her clients and will listen without judgment to the needs of each client. If you need a lawyer, Sarah will serve you well!"

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.
