Hired Attorney Sara M. Epler

Sara Epler and her incredible team at Brewe Layman were next level excellent helping my family navigate my husband's mental health crisis and save our assets and allow the courts to get him the help he needed. I believe he is alive today because of Sara and my children have their father. Sara is the best attorney around, in every court hearing the judges would thank her and call out how they see cases everyday and Sara's works was 100x all lawyers. Her pricing and billing is fair. She gives you the up front truth about your case, what to expect and it will turn out. Whatever your family law issues are, hire Sara and take care of yourself. You will get through this.

Hired Attorney Sara M. Epler

Sara Epler was a gift for my mom's divorce case. My mom is an immigrant and didn't speak English. A translator was involved the whole time. She was so patient with her, kind and knowledgeable. Even when i stopped attending the meetings due to not being able to handle the stress of the divorce. She was detailed, communicative, responsive with all the emotional highs running in a divorce. She dug up so many things about the ex husband we didn't know in terms of finances, savings, bankins, retirment and more. She secured my low income for a lifetime of moderate comfort and ease and I am forever grateful. That being said she is not for the faint heart. She has a strong, honest, blunt personality. Her team is incredible as well, always present and mitigating the highs and lows. Forever thankful for maria on her team! We wouldn't have made it without her truly. Thank you brewe layman. She opted to take our complicated case when a diflawyer evacuated the case IN THE MIDDLE. Pending in court.

Hired Law Firm

Sabrina Layman and her paralegal Jeanne were a pleasure to work with. They are both extremely knowledgeable about the separation and divorce laws in Washington State. They were always very quick to answer emails and any questions that I had. I felt very confident that they were handling my case. They were flexible in appt times, more than well prepared and extremely thorough when dealing with paperwork, deadlines for forms, and preparing for mediation. I felt that both Sabrina and Jeanne always had my best interest in mind concerning all maters related to my case. I highly recommend this team for any one looking for excellence.

Everyone I dealt with in the firm was kind, responsive, and thoroughly competent. Their services were expensive, but probably worth the cost.

Very unresponsive when I asked for advice or assistance. Charged 5K and never even received the interrogatories from opposing counsel. Very disappointing.

Hired Attorney Sara M. Epler

Sara is a good writer. Although she merely checks the boxes. She put very little effort in understanding the issues. She asked very few questions and did little to form a strong defense. Her apathy and lack of empathy was very destructive to my case.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
