About Sarah
Biography
I see law as a healing profession, on a similar level to medicine. Attorneys, at their best, are both healers and teachers. I love that the practice of law gives me a diverse set of tools for helping individuals and familiies to achieve resolution to the troubles that keep them awake in the night, and ultimately, to help them find peace. There are generally always some bumps along the path to peace. But I am there to provide direction, advocacy, and support.

For a 'job' we all dread for its complexities, it really is vital to have a highly thoughtful and competent attorney...
Sarah McCarthy fulfills that role almost effortlessly...or at least, that is how she made it appear. Read all her reviews, and your mind should be at peace; she really is that good. NO One, should ever leave their loved ones in the horrible nightmare, of trying to piece together their 'final' ...

Thorough, competent, delightful to work with!
We have worked with Sarah since 2017 on our Trust, Wills, Health Care Directives, and Power of Attorney. We just updated all of these documents. She is wonderful to work with and had suggestions when I was confused about a few things. Highly recommend!!
