I cannot say enough good things about this law firm and the incredible attorneys who represented me. I had the privilege of working with both Caitlin and Sarah, and from the beginning, they fiercely advocated for my children while also treating me with compassion, respect, and understanding. In the middle of my case, I experienced an unexpected health crisis that made an already incredibly difficult situation even more overwhelming. Caitlin and Sarah helped me navigate those circumstances with patience, care, and sound judgment. Their ability to remain calm, responsive, and focused while helping me make the best decisions for my children meant more to me than I can put into words. Their punctuality, attention to detail, communication, and prudent legal advice were exceptional. I always felt that my concerns were heard and that my children’s best interests remained at the forefront of everything they did. Their support was truly life-changing for my family, and I am deeply grateful for everything they did for us. If you are looking for attorneys who will advocate for you, protect your interests, and approach difficult circumstances with both strength and compassion, I would wholeheartedly recommend Caitlin and Sarah.

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.
There are good lawyers and there are bad lawyers. And then there are exceptional ones like Sarah Kathryn, who will treat you like a human and not a bottomless bank account. She was recommended by a friend for my divorce and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. Don’t let her sweet personality fool you. She’s quite good at what she does and very efficient.
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.
