So sick

Mrs. Harrington is a fantastic listener and a great attorney. She also looks at the topics a lot differently than myself. Thank you so much for the consult.

A new beginning.

When I first met Sara about a year ago, I sat down and talked to her about my situation, she is a very good listening, and very concerned, after we got all my information together and she started on my case, she worked diligently on it for many hours and because of that I was able to get the help tha...t I needed in order to keep what I have worked hard for, she is dedicated to helping her clients to get the best results, I would highly recommend her services to anyone, She is dependable, very trustworthy, and very knowledgeable and responsible, she did a fantastic job for me. I could never stop thanking her for a job well done. She is the best.

A Great Attorney

Ms. Harrington took my case and had everything resolved in a matter of a few days. She answered all my calls and explained everything to me that I needed to know. She is an excellent attorney that I will hire again and recommend to anyone that is in need of a good attorney. I can't thank her enough ...for being there when we needed her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
