Sarah Elizabeth Hovland

Sarah was a godsend and made everything so simple and so smooth. This is my second divorce and this was so much easier with her help. Sarah was knowledgeable and gave me great advice she helped walk me through all the steps and helped me understand. She was very responsive whenever I had a question. Highly recommend her she will be on your side and help you out in your time of need.

Sarah was absolutely great,she made me feel comfortable during the most difficult time in my life, my wife of 25 years left me completely confused and dazed,thankfully Sarah Guided me through my divorce,she was always attentive,and any questions I had she was right there every step of the way. I can't thank her and her associates enough for being so courteous and professional.

Sarah represented me through my high conflict military divorce during the pandemic. She was on top of everything, explained the process, helped me navigate. I am very pleased with the outcome of my divorce and her work on my case. I highly recommend Sarah!

Sarah help me get full custody of my daughter. And for a guy that is very difficult.She went into court with both guns blazing (fugue of speech). Sarah got me everything that I wanted plus more. I couldn’t avast for a better lawyer And if I ever need a lawyer services again. She will be the first one I’ll call. Thank you Sarah I couldn’t have done it without you, you are amazing. And now my family is safe and happy

I absolutely recommend Sarah Hovland for representation. She was my attorney for my divorce. Sarah is thorough, thoughtful (when receiving information and in her responses), and trustworthy. She is the strong advocate you need, especially when she has been given all the information relevant to the case. I was so impressed during mediation and in court, she’s all business. She will not waste yours or anyone else’s time.

When I hired Sarah, I was a crazy basket case. She was reassuring and helped me reach a fair settlement that I felt good about. When she walked me through my final documents, she pointed out things that I would have never thought about. I felt safe.

I retained Sarah in October of 2017, to deal with a lengthy case that spanned over 8 years. She came highly recommended from my previous attorney who left Family Law. My case included all areas of Sarah's expertise (Family, Child Support and Domestic Violence). It was complicated. It was lengthy (a judge mentioned there were over 400 motions over the years). It was contentious. It demanded timely responses. It required a finesse that only Sarah, I am convinced, could navigate so professionally. I was nervous with a new attorney coming in to such a situation. My son is my world, and my ex was savvy and relentless. The stakes were very high. Sarah was able to calm my nerves, speak to me in a way that was clearly understood (despite the law lingo that can feel utterly overwhelming), minimize my emotional reactions with guided and effective responses, and meet me where I was at every step of the way. I knew exactly what I needed to do and when. I knew what to expect (both positive and potential negative). I knew I had a fighter sitting next to me that was there for me, but MOST importantly, for my son. This is who you want at the table with you during the difficult time of divorce. This is who you want at the table during mediation (if offered). This is who you want at the table at trial. Sarah GETS IT. She knows the law inside and out, up and down, front to back. Sarah's knowledge and presence gave me confidence time and time again. She never wavered, nor was rattled, nor thrown off course by sudden filings or unexpected challenges. She is consistent. Thorough. Effective. She fights for her client like nobody I had seen in all the years I had been pulled into legal battle after legal battle with my ex-husband. Sarah brought resolution to my case that was above and beyond what either of us expected. The outcome of the 2 plus years we had together was a gift I could NEVER have envisioned. Sarah was able to convey all that I had experienced over the years to a judge who listened intently and showed respect right back to her. The judge, in turn, put a parenting plan in to place that was nearly exactly what we were seeking. It had strong structure with accountability, safety protections for me and my son, language that reflected the severity of all the abuses, and partial legal fees were even ordered to be paid by the other party. As TOUGH as this time in my life was, I would NEVER have wanted to do it without Sarah. If you are seeking an attorney that will prioritize your family, will respect you as a client, will be honest and straightforward, even when it's hard, will guide you every step of the way, will communicate in a timely manner, and will exhaust all avenues to maintain the best interest of her clients and their family, then hire Sarah. Attorneys like Sarah deserve credit. Family Law is not easy, and she is-hands down-meant for Family Law, and guiding and fighting for those who find themselves within the often chaotic and highly emotional time of separation and divorce.

Sarah helped navigate the murky waters of my divorce over the course of last year. Along the way I had so many questions about what I should and shouldn’t do, and how I should phrase all correspondence sent to my spouse. She answered my emails and phone calls quickly and reminded me along the way to remain civil and calm. It was as good an experience as I could have hoped for, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Sarah was clearly familiar with the process, was thorough in doing her research, was well prepared and prepared us also in our fight to prevent renewal of an order of protection. Her advice and education for us were invaluable. She helped us understand and focus on the purpose of the upcoming hearing, allowing us to provide her with effective information. On the day of the hearing, she did more than act as legal counsel. She recognized our distress in waiting for proceedings to begin and appropriately engaged us in conversation, so we entered the hearing more relaxed. During the hearing, Sarah succinctly argued the many facets of our case, including referencing applicable case law. She readily rebutted each point made by our opponent. Ultimately the commissioner found in our favor. She clearly sees her role as more than just a job; her focus was not just the case but on us as her clients. Thank you so very much, Sarah.

Sarah has been guiding me through my divorce process and has done an excellent job. She demonstrated that has a deep knowledge of the law and was well prepared during the entire process. She helped me to remain calm and provided good advice for most of my lengthy divorce even when the other party had absurd demands. The only thing she needed, was to respond faster to the emails and questions I sent her. It is refreshing to see a lawyer that cares about what is best for her client. Great lawyer and a good person.
