Unfortunately I've had to battle with an ex husband over the past 8 yrs however, FORTUNATELY I've had atty Saunders there to fight for my and my children's best interests legally & financially. She gets the job done, keeps you informed and has no problem returning a phone call or answering any questions, no matter how ridiculous they may be. Sara has worked with and gone up against the toughest attys in New London County. She is professional & tough yet will give you that pat on the shoulder assuring you that you have no worries. Short Version: She KNOWS her sh_t & gets the job done!!

I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome that Sarah Saunders got for me with my divorce case. Due to COVID-19 it was an extra long process but when it was finally time she came out ready & swinging!!! Soo much so the other attorney quickly called to settle. I didn't have to say a word. She definitely had my best interest at heart and even got me something extra in the settlement that I didn't think of on my own. I can't thank her enough for the best Christmas gift ever. Thank you soo very much Sarah.

I had initially hired Sarah for a restraining order situation which turned into a long custody battle. She was extremely patient, professional and understanding. I would sincerely recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking for a consistent, honest and supportive lawyer.

Contacting attorney Saunders was the best decision I made in a very difficult time. I was looking for someone to represent me that understood my situation and could be honest and realistic with the path ahead. My divorce took almost 2 years from the time I filled to the end and she was patient with all the turns the process took, she helped me stay focused to navigate the entire process. Attorney Saunders is firm and has the extensive legal knowledge and I felt that she had my best interest making me feel protected. If you are looking for an attorney that is honest, kind, and will fight for you I truly recommend attorney Saunders.

Attorney Sarah Saunders dealt with my case for a year and three months. She took on my case with only a week until the first court date, and while I was residing in another state! Every step of the way she got what needed to be done, done. She was quick, responsive with answers to any questions. Her attitude was amazing 100% of the time. Their paralegal, Jessica, was also amazing. She was very quick and responsive to all emails, very polite and got everything done so quickly. I’m so happy the case has finally come to an end, but sad that I won’t have the pleasure of talking to these lovely ladies anymore! They were seriously fantastic and eased my mind on everything that needed it. 10/10 recommend to represent you!

I worked with Attorney Saunders in regards to my divorce, and I have to say that I didn't think a divorce could be this pleasant of an experience. From the very first phone call, she put my mind at ease about how the process will work, and then time and time again followed through on her word up until the very end. Ideally, this would be my one time going through something like this, but if I ever find myself under similar circumstances, I know exactly who I am going to!

With everything gong on I never had the pleasure to met Sarah in person, but talking to her on the phone was so easy and comfortable, like talking to an old friend. She handled my case very personally and I feel her cost is very reasonable.
