Wonderful experience

I retained Ms. Whitney on short notice in my defense of a frivolous protection order. She was as tremendous success. Very easy to work with and professional. I am hearing impaired and she was my voice in the courtroom. She virtually saved my life. I would emphatically recommend Ms. Whitney for anyone...'s defense.

Unprofessional

I would never recommend Sarah to anyone she is horrible, unprofessional, never got things done EVER! Made us look stupid in court, never knew our court dates so we would show up on the wrong date! Never called to keep us informed and never returned calls In a timely manner we had her for a family law... case custody/ parenting plan she knows nothing about family law please please do not make the same mistake we did by hiring her!!!!

Would never use her again

I hired Sarah to represent me. She doenst have an office. her address is a mailbox. she answers her phone at first and then quits responding. She does not give information timely, i have proof of what i am saying. She has delayed to the point i had to request her to withdraw and am hiring another law...yer. She has had 7 months to get requests for information and subpoenas together. She was way over her head representing me. telling me she had a subpoena and when i pressured her to show me she said she didnt get it certified, a month after saying she had it. I am out $5,000 due to Sarah not following through. if you do hire her, at the first sign of a delay, i would drop her and get someone else. She is a nice person, but when it comes to getting things done, she has let vital things slip.
