Reviews
When I told my financial advisor I'm going to get divorced, given that my spouse and I have our lives + business intertwined, they told me I'll probably need 2-4 lawyers: for family laws / Real estate / EP / business. Luckily, I found Sara-Kathryn Bryan who's all of those in one! She was helpful, attentive, compassionate, understanding, professional and very informative, right from the first inquiry. Her boss, Cait (Kate?) who first answered the phone was also super-intelligent, understanding and helpful, and she's a mediator, so it's right up our alley of ending the relationship in a peaceful, respectful, fair way for all. I found this firm in search for a family lawyer, but will definitely continue with them regarding other matters too. Thankful.
After being through multiple Attorneys, I cannot recommend Sarah Kathryn Bryan of Shortell Law highly enough. She is truly an exceptional attorney, and I am so grateful I had her representing me in my difficult child custody case. From our first meeting, Ms. Bryan demonstrated great communication and was highly knowledgeable about family law. She guided me through every step of the process with compassion making a stressful and difficult situation feel manageable and clear. Her meticulous preparation gave me complete confidence going into the courtroom. When it mattered most, her excellent courtroom presence was evident. She was exceedingly professional, and a fierce advocate for my case. Ultimately, she achieved an outcome that exceeded my expectations. Sarah Kathryn Bryan made a difficult process easy, and her professionalism and dedication are unmatched. She will be the only attorney I use for any future legal needs. If you are looking for top-tier legal representation, look no further.
Had the pleasure of working with Sarah K Bryan on preparing and funding a revocable trust. Sarah worked hard and was professional through the entire matter, including in absolutely every email she sent. In the end she delivered and helped get everything setup and established. In the end there was a misunderstanding between her office and my legal coverage (ARAG) regarding billing, but she handled everything professionally and the matter was quickly settled. If I need legal council in the future, I will be reaching out to her first.
During arguably the worst time of our lives and after countless calls to other law offices, Caitlin took my call and my case without a moments hesitation. We will be forever grateful for her expertise and prompt work. While I hope I never need a lawyer again, if I do she will be the 1st person I call.
My partner found herself in an undesirable and stressful situation at work and was not sure she would be able to finish her contract. She contacted Caitlin and not only got a personal phone call in return, she assured her she would help her get out of the contract and keep her professional license safe from negative repercussions. She was very calm and patient as my partner was experiencing severe anxiety from the situation. We will keep her in our back pocket anytime we need to hire an attorney and will recommend her to anyone looking for legal advice.
