Some comments from clients include:
"Sara made a very stressful and uncertain situation easy to understand and ensured I was updated throughout the process. It was reassuring to be able to speak to Sara directly over the phone and email and the response time was super quick. As someone who has never been in a situation where I have needed legal support before, I was nervous and unsure what to expect. However, Sara was really easy to speak to and gave me really clear advice, ensuring I was aware of all my options and avoided using legal jargon".
"Sara is very professional and possesses the all-important human touch. She was very approachable, sensitive, understanding and patient with me throughout the process, keeping me in the loop at all times and making clear efforts to translate legal jargon and complicated processes for my understanding. I would say that she went above and beyond for me on multiple occasions and am extremely grateful to her for her help during a difficult time this year. I would happily work with Sara again and highly recommend her".
