Legal issues can be intimidating. Sarah has a confident style that makes the process less fearful. She is very knowledgable and thorough in her work. She has the ability to be professional and approachable throughout a stressful endeavor. Sarah truly listens and is thoughtful and very accessible to the client for additional questions and concerns. I highly recommend her without any reservations.
Sarah helped my husband and I create wills that work for our family. We had no prior experience in estate planning, so we had no idea what to expect. Sarah made it simple and convenient. We're so glad we took the time to meet with Sarah and let her guide us through this important process.
Sarah Bell’s calm and empathetic demeanor made my challenging custody battle much less stressful. She was professional, confident, knowledgeable, and did a great job of answering my questions and explaining the process. She responded to urgent emails promptly. With less urgent issues, I sometimes waited a few days for a response, but I can appreciate her skill in maintaining work-life balance in such a busy role; as a mother who prioritizes her children, she proved qualified and eager to fight to protect mine. I really felt as though she cared about me and my case. She was always very kind, and surrounding our hearing, was especially perceptive to my needs. I was awarded sole legal and physical custody. I am grateful for Ms. Bell’s service and recommend her without reservation.
I've talked to Sarah on a couple different occasions and each time she gave me a straight up honest answer even if it's not what I wanted to hear. I admire the honestly in this lawyer and the no beating around the bush attitude. This is a lawyer who I feel genuinely cares about her clients and that's hard to find in a lawyer. If you want someone who tells you like it is and not going to waste your time, Sarah is a wonderful pick!
I came to see Sarah to file for divorce. She originally wrote up a separation document that I paid $500 for and had my separated husbands birthdate wrong. I did ask her a few questions and she got back to me a week later with a request to pay a retainer that was $2,500. Reasonable, however she was very hard to reach after so. She usually got back in touch with me in about a weeks time. During my separation my separated husband was arrested for stalking and I had collected a series of texts and recordings. I talked to Mrs Bell about this and she said they were irrelevant. Unfortunately the situation escalated and the county prosecutor got Involved and stated this was one of the worst cases of stalking she had ever seen when she looked at my information. When I told Sarah she said oh, That's not really My area of law. She was nice but did not really help much. Nice lady, horrible lawyer.
Kind person, but she did not push back against the opposing side during courtroom appearances. She asked me what I wanted the outcome of the trial to be during the day of the court appearance- I was speechless. Instead of pushing for more time or laying down a clear line in the sand, she ended up conceding more ground than I had anticipated. Kind person, but not a fighter in court. Also- organization did not seem to be on par with expectations.
Have called her office three times to set up consultation. Received one return call told them what I needed help with her aid said would talk to Sarah and get back with me, this has been well over a week if not two. Placed one more call on Monday 10/2/17 and still no reply. Very poor way to treat people. I you can not help me just say so.

Instead of pushing for more time or laying down a clear line in the sand, she ended up conceding more ground than I had anticipated. Kind person, but not a fighter in court. Also- organization did not seem to be on par with expectations.
Have called her office three times to set up consultation. Received one return call told them what I needed help with her aid said would talk to Sarah and get back with me, this has been well over a week if not two. Placed one more call on Monday 10/2/17 and still no reply. Very poor way to treat people. I you can not help me just say so.
Legal issues can be intimidating. Sarah has a confident style that makes the process less fearful. She is very knowledgable and thorough in her work. She has the ability to be professional and approachable throughout a stressful endeavor. Sarah truly listens and is thoughtful and very accessible to the client for additional questions and concerns. I highly recommend her without any reservations.
Sarah helped my husband and I create wills that work for our family. We had no prior experience in estate planning, so we had no idea what to expect. Sarah made it simple and convenient. We're so glad we took the time to meet with Sarah and let her guide us through this important process.
Sarah Bell’s calm and empathetic demeanor made my challenging custody battle much less stressful. She was professional, confident, knowledgeable, and did a great job of answering my questions and explaining the process. She responded to urgent emails promptly. With less urgent issues, I sometimes waited a few days for a response, but I can appreciate her skill in maintaining work-life balance in such a busy role; as a mother who prioritizes her children, she proved qualified and eager to fight to protect mine. I really felt as though she cared about me and my case. She was always very kind, and surrounding our hearing, was especially perceptive to my needs. I was awarded sole legal and physical custody. I am grateful for Ms. Bell’s service and recommend her without reservation.
I've talked to Sarah on a couple different occasions and each time she gave me a straight up honest answer even if it's not what I wanted to hear. I admire the honestly in this lawyer and the no beating around the bush attitude. This is a lawyer who I feel genuinely cares about her clients and that's hard to find in a lawyer. If you want someone who tells you like it is and not going to waste your time, Sarah is a wonderful pick!
I came to see Sarah to file for divorce. She originally wrote up a separation document that I paid $500 for and had my separated husbands birthdate wrong. I did ask her a few questions and she got back to me a week later with a request to pay a retainer that was $2,500. Reasonable, however she was very hard to reach after so. She usually got back in touch with me in about a weeks time. During my separation my separated husband was arrested for stalking and I had collected a series of texts and recordings. I talked to Mrs Bell about this and she said they were irrelevant. Unfortunately the situation escalated and the county prosecutor got Involved and stated this was one of the worst cases of stalking she had ever seen when she looked at my information. When I told Sarah she said oh, That's not really My area of law. She was nice but did not really help much. Nice lady, horrible lawyer.
Kind person, but she did not push back against the opposing side during courtroom appearances. She asked me what I wanted the outcome of the trial to be during the day of the court appearance- I was speechless. Instead of pushing for more time or laying down a clear line in the sand, she ended up conceding more ground than I had anticipated. Kind person, but not a fighter in court. Also- organization did not seem to be on par with expectations.
