I read the reviews, and I can tell that two of those reviews are from opposing parties! This is a kind, wonderful person who cares deeply about people. She helped us successfully navigate the legal system and we prevailed. She will talk to a potential client on the phone, no charge. This won us over - she likes what she does and it shows.

She was very kind and polite. She answered my questions and was very compassionate about my matter. I didn't feel like I was just talking to a lawyer, but that I was talking to someone who understood me and my problem and could really help. Sara put together a comprehensive plan to handle a lawsuit involving my family and she was able to execute it. It did take a long time, but we were warned that the court system moves slowly. I would tell anyone to talk to Sara if they have a legal isuse.

Sara has already had her license revoked once I believe for misconduct but who’s to say how much more went unnoticed cause we are not lawyers like her right. She maliciously tokd a friend of mine he was guilty before court proceedings ever took place and tried to get him to relenquish 50,000-100,000 of his belongings quickly since he had no family around to pick up his stuff with him and he supposedly only had that day… which she wrote up in the report which is not very fair. She harassed him after he asked her to stop questioning him about his belongings he’s leaving behind or anything about the case until his attorney was present. Did not stop her from trying to intimidate. Sara maliciously told him that he could not drink water (110 out) picking up his belongings at his and his gfs house since they are going through a separation case. She is not someone you want to talk to let alone use. This very uncivil uneducated person will cost refilling and probably a looot more.

Sara was late, rude, dishonest and lies about laws, intimidates, I have a case with her with my friend and she was beyond not helpful and lazy. 40 minutes late. Lied about laws to my face. And basically just took my money and ran because everything she did an uneducated morally incapable child could do better as she is a broken old lady who probably won’t every change and has been neglectful in multiple cases before I see. Don’t use. Wipe off boot on curb and keep walking until you find a lawyer you pay who cares. If it smells like poop and has for years. Prob is poop… just sayin. Clean ya boot before it gets inside your shoe. Take care

I don't know where to start. She made a lot of promises in the beginning and took our money, then she disappeared. NO contact, documents not filed, incorrect application of the law and always missed deadlines, went missing for months, very dishonest. Lied, and then lied and then lied againl. Has been suspended by the State Bar. She cost us our lawsuit. She is a nightmare!

Sara was very nice. She seemed knowledgeable and eager to help us with our legal issues. A real go-getter! She was going to do some "research", took our paperwork, and then, she seemed to disappear. She missed our appointment, said she forgot. Its been months now and she answers no calls, emails. NO. I would not recommend her to anyone.
