Expertly handled cross-state custody situation
Sarah is exceptionally knowledgeable and caring. Helped me navigate cross-state custody issues when I moved out of state for work, and gave me the confidence to do what is best for me and my family.

Best lawyer I have ever hired
After 10 years of going in and out of the court system fighting for more rights with my children I hired Sarah. She was thorough, dedicated, and most importantly she believed in me and my case. I never felt like I wasn't a priority, she did everything thing she could to keep me informed and never mad...

Pathetic and awful
I used Sarah for my divorce. She said she was experienced with high conflict divorces. This is absolutely a lie. She was a poor litigator, did not pay attention to the details, got flustered when she was giving oral argument, and did not follow through with the things she said she was going to do....

Replied last July 26, 2017I try to provide my clients with high quality legal advice designed to achieve their litigation goals. When clients take my advice, I am able to provide a high quality, professional product that nets real results. Unfortunately, as was the case here, some clients refuse to take my legal advice and suffer consequences in court as a result. I would hope that a patient would take the advice and follow the strategy recommended by their doctor or dentist when dealing with health problems. I expect the same of a client consulting their attorney about legal problems.
