Sarah handled my divorce case and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sarah was extremely flexible and worked around my schedule without hesitation. Everything regarding the divorce was thoroughly explained to me and Sarah kept me up to date on all matters. Sarah was able to resolve my divorce quickly and produce a favorable outcome without having to go to court.
Sarah Is an excellent attorney I. have hired her for a prenup ,a divorce, She is an excellent person to deal with she has lifted a lot of worry off my shoulders always I’ve gotten what I wanted and got my piece of mine back Always responded when I needed her I would recommend her highly to anyone .She is a fair attorney and tells you everything she knows.
Sarah's patience and generosity with her time made, what could have been a very trying time in my life, much less stressful. She was thorough. I always felt listened to and she helped me accomplish the tasks I wished to accomplish. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce/custody agreement (and I have...several times!).
Hired Sarah for a child custody case. Sarah was responsive, supportive and well informed. She walked me through each step of the process with patience and insight. We were able to accomplish our goals. I would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone!
I hired Sarah Jones to help out with a pretty scary family issue on a case That could have went incredibly wrong. I was worried and lost before meeting Sarah, but she got everything sorted out and under control after just a couple of meetings and phone calls. She’s absolutely resourceful and great at what she does. Sarah made me feel a lot better about my situation and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. I’d want to say I’d hire her again but I wouldn’t want to go through the same ordeal ever again or wish that upon anybody but if you ever need a family lawyer, divorce or child custody... Sarah Jones is well qualified!
Excellent choice I made by hiring her for my case. I felt extremely confident and relaxed going forward with the case well respected always on time. Everything you would expect from an extremely professional lawyer.
When I needed an attorney I researched for hours and everything kept coming back to Sarah. Excellent reviews is what I went with and I am glad I did cause she didn't disappoint me at all. She made herself available at all times of the day and any day of the week even weekends. Her kindness and patience in dealing with my situation was exceptional. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking for the perfect attorney.
Sarah jones helped me with my child support case. They kept running over me not listening to anything I said, taking more money from me until I hired Sarah. I told her my story and she took it from there and when it was time to go e I won all my cases. Just wanted to say Sarah Jones is no joke, she does a great job and I want to say thank u again Sarah.
