Overview

Client Testimonials

Sarah is a brilliant family lawyer. She is sharp, sensitive to my needs and works diligently to resolve issues. Her acute awareness of my situation with the children, an emotionally abusive ex and the process for building up confidence during this separation process, in combination with her expert legal knowledge on family law, has been game changing for me. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
