And to that end, Sarina will fight for resolution, whether that means a restored marriage, termination of parental rights, or a customized visitation schedule.

Some attorneys don’t meet their clients face-to-face for the first time until they see them on the front steps of the courthouse. Until that moment, clients only meet with paralegals.

Sarina genuinely cares about her clients and the difficult situations that they go through. She makes sure that her clients feel heard and understood. At the same time, Sarina is honest with her clients and doesn’t pull any punches. She remains an advocate on every level.
