I started my business to help families navigate the legal process when they are confronted by issues that are often both emotionally draining and legally complex. Not knowing what to do or what to expect is daunting and anxiety inducing. My goal is to give guidance so you will know your rights, understand your options, and to facilitate resolution so you can move on with your life.

Sarah is an outstanding family law attorney, and I can only recommend her warmly to anyone with a family law issue.
She was my counsel for an almost 2-year court battle with my ex about giving our kids 50% of their time with me which finally came to a successful end today.
Competent, on top of things, understanding better than I did myself where we were in the process, who needed to do what, opportunities, risks, filings, court prep... just an excellent performance.

I am a family law attorney, and have been in practice for over 30 years. I first became acquainted with Sarah when we were on opposite sides of a family law dispute. Sarah has a masterful knowledge of family law and she vigorously advocated the interests of her client in a way that promoted a fair settlement of the case. My client was very impressed with Sarah's advocacy and he made it clear to me that he wanted to settle the case and not go to trial. What also impressed me about Sarah was her concern for keeping her client's costs down, which also enabled me to keep my client's

I couldn't be more grateful for Sarah's help. She responded very fast both on Yelp and via emails, and it was very efficient to set up an appointment with her. Not only is she very knowledgable and experienced so that she can immediately help you understand where you stand and what'd be the best solution, but she's also very frank and really put herself in your shoes. Even though she won't be able to help with my case, she generously helped me to analyze my situation and options I can pursue. Thank you Sarah! I highly recommend her!

Confidence in your case and knowledge that you are fully and well represented. That's what you're hiring an attorney for. Good attorneys give you realistic characterization of the result and most important confidence in outcome. Anyone that has needed counsel knows what I am talking about. Sarah is great. Highly recommend.

Sarah Weddle represented me for my divorce case. I am so happy about all outcomes. Without her, I may have been out on the street now. She explained, suggested options and walked through each process. She is very knowledgeable with the court system. When my ex-wife filed a divorce, I didn't know what to do. I was so lucky that I met her through a referral.
English is my second language so I thought about hiring a lawyer that spoke my language. I am so glad I didn't, because I couldn't have found a better lawyer.
She was very honest and reasonable with fees, as I am not

I chose to work with Sarah Weddle out of about seven or eight other attorneys I interviewed. I felt that she had the kind of strong voice and personality that was needed for my case. Choosing her was the right choice.
A Custody battle can be one of the scariest and most stressful things a person could ever go through. She navigated this tumultuous period with ease and finesse. She had the kind of communication style that minimized confrontation with the other party, didn't play into petty bickering and focused exclusively on results and finding solutions.
Although her fees were a bit out

The divorce process was very painful for me - almost like an emotional cancer. It takes someone who has the knowledge of a surgeon and the heart of a nurse to walk someone through the negotiations.
Sarah was that surgeon and I highly recommend her if you have to remove a cancer from your life. After a very thorough review of lawyers (over ten calls during some very difficult evenings) I found Sarah - she talked very calmly and we spoke for nearly an hour. I could judge from her experience and patience that she would be the right person to firmly negotiate the best result for my case. We worked
