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.

Clear and Compassionate
Sarah helped us with viewing and sorting out the complexity of our recently changed situation. I especially appreciated her suggestion that we write a personal letter to each heir to include with our wills.

Stress-free and Professional
Sarah did a very thorough and comprehensive job with our will. I was dreading the whole thing but she is professional and easy to work with that it made it a pleasure.

Sarah has worked for me twice during the last two years. Both times were to make changes to my will. She did an excellent job and is very easy to work with.

For two years Ms. McCarthy helped me and my family with family legal matters, and Estate planning. She was so very helpful, and provided so much assistance, I can’t thank her enough.
