When I first met with Sally, I was feeling helpless, alone, lost, and scared. Sally was honest with me, but at the same time, she was very comforting and gave me the strength to pick myself up and feel strong again. This was the worst time of my life, but was a great feeling knowing that Sally was not only there with me to help guide me through my turmoil, she was also there fighting for me. I would give Sally 10 + stars if this site allowed it. I would have never made it through all my legal matters if it hadn't been for Sally, and I can't possibly thank her enough.

Sally is, as the title suggests, an EXCELLENT attorney. She let me know up front the potential challenges in my case, and she had a plan in place that addressed those challenges before the occurred. In the end, I received an even better result than Sally had predicted, although she had told me the results could be higher or lower than her estimate. I couldn't be happier with my choice to hire her for my case!

We hired Sally after discovering a conversion of assets by a family member serving as PR of the estate. Sally gave us her honest assessment of the case and how to proceed. We hired her and have been very pleased how she handled contentious issues with the family member who refused to cooperate with court orders. With Sally by our side, we won and we were able to stop the unmitigated looting of the estate by this family member.

I hired Ms. Babbitt for a client that needed assistance in probate administration for property outside of our scope in Florida. Ms. Babbitt was fair, knowledgeable, and extremely efficient. She responded to our emails or calls by the end of the day every single time. Our mutual client was very satisfied. Our firm will definitely keep her in mind for the future.

My wife and I needed to up-date everything from our wills to powers of attorney, etc. Sally was very helpful in guiding us through the process. She is very personable and easy to work with. The results were professional and very much appreciated. Thank you, Sally.

Sally has worked with our business and family for several years. We have used her services to legally establish our business, drafted client contracts, and helped us navigate the legalities of end of life issues in our family. She has always been available when we have legal questions and is informed of the latest legal cases in our industry. She is an excellent resource through her continued research, writing and presentations on various legal topics. We would wholeheartedly recommend Sally for your personal and business needs!

I had the opportunity to work with Sally a few years back and she did an excellent job for our firm. She is courteous, professional, and well thought of in the Lansing Community, both personally and professionally.

I hired Babbitt outside of Avvo for a Probate case. Babbitt failed to have crucial evidence accepted due to her writing on original documents. Babbitt failed to make a record of facts that would have preserved rights to appeal the decision.
