I went through an absolutely awful divorce in 2021. Unfortunately, I did not know and did not hire Sarah at the time. I was completely abused, ripped off by my own lawyers, endured provable perjury by the other side, agreed to a "mediator" that retired as a (completely one sided) judge before he got recalled by angry dads (no kidding), and wound up with a worse deal than I ever imagined. Given my experience with family lawyers, I had completely lost faith in the legal profession. Jaded, cynical, and convinced that no one in the system had anything in their mind other than trading on human misery and exploiting the respective parties for their personal gain. Then I met Sarah. I was at the time considering a modification and consulted with her, She was incredibly smart, personable, empathetic, witty... And smart as a whip. Rather than signing me up, she proactively advised me on my best options. She told me the likely costs up front, the merits of my case, and the other side's likely strategy. Her knowledge is encyclopedic, and her understanding of my case and my needs both intuitive thorough, and supportive. I elected to wait, based on her honest advice on the prospective costs of litigation.. She didn't get the fees (YET!), but she helped me selflessly in my time of need. Instead of money in her pocket, she HELPED me, even giving me helpful tips in the interim to mitigate my situation. I will doubtless use her when I am ready. And I can assure you that the other side will be amply overmatched.

I used sarah in 2017 for an amendment to my original divorce settlement. She was recommended by a friend who had used her for a contentious divorce. I did not want to use my original family attorney and I was specifically looking for a strong negotiator. Our first meeting (paid consultation in 2016) was extremely informative. My original settlement was poorly written and I wanted Sarah’s help in amending it. Sarah laid out a game plan and was very forthright about my options. She’s strategic, wise, and excellent communicator. She gives attorneys a good reputation too as she was very honest with her billing. I only wish I had retained her for my original settlement as I believe I would have spent half the time litigating and would have had an air tight order. My experience with Sarah was she’s a non nonsense, get the job done phenomenal negotiator who has the empathy to deal with sensitive, complex family issues and knowledge to litigate and resolve custody disputes. I highly recommend her.

Sarah handled my child support and custody modification for me. She was very upfront and no nonsense and I appreciated that. Sarah kept me informed, explained things with great patience and kept my best interests in everything she did. I enjoyed working with her, as much as you can when you're going through this, and I know I can count on her if I ever need help with anything in the future. She's the best!

Sarah was my attorney for an unforeseen divorce case in Fulton County - perhaps one of the best decisions I've ever made. From day one, and on short notice, Sarah guided me through the process, explaining the procedural issues and time frames, the legal and jurisdictional requirements, the parties involved and how they may affect the ultimate outcome, and my role in the process. She was also very transparent about fees and how I would be billed. Any time she and I needed to speak via phone, Sarah was extremely considerate of my time (and money) and made sure to answer questions in the most succinct way possible while providing me with just enough information to feel comfortable about key decisions. Sarah had an amiable relationship with our family law judge in Fulton County, which made me feel even more at ease with the divorce process. Always professional and poised, when Sarah did need to push opposing counsel to adhere to the rules of the court system, it was done in a firm yet polished way. From the first correspondence between our attorneys, it was clear that Sarah was leaps and bounds ahead of opposing counsel in education, skill, and relationships. The bottom line is that Sarah provides top-notch legal counsel for an hourly rate which is half that of some other firms in Atlanta. If anyone ever needs any legal counsel related to divorce or family law, I will recommend Sarah McCormack without hesitation.

Sarah was my Attorney. She connected with me the first day and i still feel that connection. She understood where i was coming from and listened to me very very patiently. She advised me so many times when i was confused and was extremely prompt and still is! Overall, she cares very very deeply for her clients and wants the best for them and their families. I love her a lot!

My sister actually hired Sarah. I was on my way back from Japan after finding out my then wife had been neglecting the kids. I was military at the time and really did not know the area or even where to begin. Sarah was compassionate and worked relentlessly in my case. I was awarded full custody and took the children back to my duty station in Japan. That was back in 2007. Sarah will still inquire on how the kids are doing. She is truly was called to this work to do good.

Sarah represented me in what turned out to be a vary contentious divorce. Sarah is touch, tenacious, fair minded and steady, She is readily accessible and always pragmatic. I highly recommend her.

I’ve used Sarah twice over a period of 3 years. The first time was a divorce, and the second was a modification of custody from the original settlement. Both times Sarah did a fantastic job not only handling my case, but also managing very difficult opposing council. She is very well respected by everyone at the courthouse, and has a reputation for being tough and thorough. Sarah is very detail oriented and I can’t say enough for the level of professionalism she has demonstrated in my cases. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone seeking a tough lawyer who will work tirelessly on your behalf.

During my divorce and on several times since, Sarah has consistently provided me with a unique combination of strong legal counsel and supportive guidance. When I was going through my divorce, she brought up important practical considerations I never would have thought when young children are involved--topics many other attorneys don't bring up, from what I have since learned from other friends. She was and continues to be a trusted advisor for whom I am eternally grateful.

I was so thankful to the trusted friend that referred to me to Sarah. She handled my case with such attention and care. She made sure to explain all the options along the way and was fully transparent with her billing practices. She made closing out one of the worst possible experiences ever (divorce) simple and efficient- and for that I will always be so thankful!

Sarah worked with me for both my divorce and a modification. She was extraordinarily professional, very practical and a strong advocate for me and my children. During difficult times, she also showed compassion, provided excellent advice and encouraged me. I cannot recommend her more highly ... she is an outstanding attorney who works to ensure appropriate and fair outcomes.

Sarah McCormack was an extremely effective advocate for me. Attentive, warm, firm, and highly ethical, she facilitated my divorce with dispatch and, through her wise counsel, minimal expense to me as my judgment was compromised by turbulent emotions. I highly recommend her.
