“Sarah is my go to advocate. She has a first-class rapport with clients – putting them at ease and calmly managing their anxieties. Sarah’s robust representation of her clients really sets her apart. Her manner and court craft continues to show that she is truly a skilled advocate.”
“I know that because you broke everything down for the client in accessible language, it made the client feel comfortable, heard and understood. You brought the human element and compassion to the case. You treated the client with respect and compassion and made ‘x’ feel “not judged”.
