She will guide you through the process, and help you make the choices and decisions that will lead to your best outcome.

As a CFLS, Sarah stays fully informed on all areas of family law and attends extensive legal education in her practice specialty, in addition to the continuing education requirements for all members of the California Bar. She consults regularly with financial/tax specialists, child custody evaluators and counselors and therapists working with families in transition.
