This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Feeling ripped off

Sarah wouldn't allow me to talk directly to her over the phone or in person. She would only communicate via email, even when I asked if I could speak directly with her. Also when I tried to communicate with her about refuding my money, she did not respond. A total breakdown in communication. Com...munication is key to good attorney/client relationship. I feel like I got ripped off.

You chose not follow my written point by point advice/direction because it was not what you wanted me to tell you. We communicated more than 15 times as part of the consultation and I read all that you sent before I finally told you the consultation was concluded. I must say it like it is even if it is not what you want to hear. You were repeatedly abusive toward me. I definitely tried to help you. Please call me to discuss.

Looking for direction

I contacted Sarah because I needed some advice about how to handle a legal situation. I was not referred. I picked her from the list of lawyers in Mason City, IA on a search. I read her profile and liked what I read. She provided me with direction on how to handle my situation. She advised me th...at I would need to complete a form and pay for a consultation on my situation. I agreed, however, when I provided her with more detail, she let me know that legal services would not help and directed me to another solution. I am grateful that she provided me with that little bit of advice without a charge. Even though I was willing to pay for the consultation.

Fast and Efficient

My husband and I went to see her to about getting a durable power of attorney for my husband. She did an awesome job. it was done fast and efficiently. I have recommended her to many of my friends. On 11/28/16 I had a friend that had a major stroke. I called and gave her the information I though...t she needed. Sarah went to the hospital and had all the papers ready for the family member to sign so things could get done. She was contacted 12/5/16 and it was done the same day!

RUDE

I spoke to this attorney a few times regarding a legitimate case of discrimination based on disability. She is by far the RUDEST, most uncivil attorney I have ever spoke to. She was angry that I did not hire her IMMEDIATELY the first time after she gave me some simple advice. She was outraged that... she gave me free advice without me hiring her afterword. She later told me not to ever contact her again. Beware, if she does not always get her way, she will likely hurt you more than help you.

I'm sorry to read this from you. I remember you and I communicated with you repeatedly trying to help you--more so than I usually would do for free because I knew you really needed help. However, my decision to ask you to stop contacting me should not be construed as an opinion as to the merits or lack thereof of your case but that I am not your attorney: we have no attorney/client relationship and I do not wish to represent you. Please seek legal representation to help you as your case may be subject to time limitations.

Great Lawyer!

From the first call to the final signing, Sarah was a true professional and very knowledgable on the law. I had her represent me in a divorce case with custody involved. She listened and advised me to get the case solved promptly and fairly. She was very prompt on notifying me of current events. I... would not hesitate in using her again, if I ever need a lawyer again.

"I have worked closely with Sarah on a number of matters over the past few years. I quickly recognized why she is among a very elite group of attorneys in Iowa who have been recognized by Super Lawyers (including three Rising Star awards between 2006-09!) for their keen legal acumen and abilities. If a friend or family member of mine needed professional representation for an employment, family or criminal law matter, I wouldn't hesitate to refer them to Sarah."
