Sarah Macgillis represented me when I was falsely accused of mistreating a former student. She showed endless compassion, empathy, and support throughout the entire legal process. Sarah immediately helped to calm my nerves and reduce the stress I was feeling as I had never been accused of anything in my 36 years of teaching. Being new to court proceedings, she was extremely patient and reassuring as she listened to my never-ending questions. Sarah always kept me updated on what our next step would be. She responded quickly whenever I reached out to her and always went above and beyond. Sarah's commitment and professionalism was always very evident. She thoroughly investigated my case, was well-prepared, and was very knowledgeable about my accusations. I am so grateful that Sarah was my attorney. Because of her, my case was dismissed at our pre-trial hearing. I wouldn't have survived those two years without her guidance and support! She even helped me with the entire expungement process to fully clear my name. I would HIGHLY recommend Sarah Macgillis to anyone looking for a top-notch person and attorney. She is the BEST!

Sarah represented me in a false allegation of student maltreatment. From the start she supported me by taking control while sharing the direction of the process. She was always responsive when questions arose and many did, given the newness of the situation to me as an educator of 24 years. The case was investigated, I felt strongly supported and the situation was decided in my favor. The calmness, professionalism and care Sarah showed made this process less stressful for my family. Sarah Macgillis has experience working with educators and I would recommend her to any of my teacher colleagues if law service is needed!

My case was specifically motivated by power, abuse and retribution by administrators that did not care that their negative unfounded actions would destroy an innocent persons career. I was in need of a lawyer who had the depth of understanding required to fight my case and could work with all the nuances affecting my situation. If not my new hard fought professional career was going to end and I would be personally and professionally affected by the consequences for a very long time. I could not be unemployed as a single mother. Sarah was diligent in helping me gather the necessary critical materials and witness/colleague statements to present the solid evidence that I was wrongly accused and there was no evidence of any wrongdoing. Working with Sarah, Justice was Served. It was an emotionally challenging legal situation and Sarah presented herself professionally at all times, and had the emotional capacity to present the facts in the best way possible. When we won the case, I new I had selected the best person to facilitate the job with the best skills and tools to support me in winning. Justice Reigned!!!

Unfortunately I had to retain a lawyer due to an educational maltreatment charge. Although I felt the charges were negatively motivated by a hostile supervisor, nonetheless I had to seek representation. Ms Sarah Macgillis was the number one referral from friends in the field. I can attest to her willingness to listen, gather all the information, give sound advice, then bring all the components together to advocate on my behalf. Ms Macgillis is tenacious in her representation and defense. She was willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone had context and accurate facts. I would retain her again without hesitation. She is simple one of the best in the field!

I researched for legal representation for a conference meeting with the MN Board of Nursing and discovered Sarah online and it happened to be a good decision. She was well knowledgeable about the processes I was about to embark on. Her techniques, counsel and methods of approaching this conference proved to be accurate and delivered favorable results.

We hired Sarah when false allegations were brought against me. She was prompt, understanding, knowledgeable, and VERY empathetic with us through entire process. She explained every step before it happened relieving anxiety/stress. Sarah is extremely personable and friendly. She was a good foundation through this emotional situation.

We hired Sarah to represent me when false allegations were made against me. I can't say enough about Sarah's tenacity to clear my name. As I had NEVER been accused of anything before, Sarah talked my husband and I about the steps we needed to take to achieve my innocence. This incident caused me/us great emotional stress. Sarah provided support, understanding and empathy by frequently sending positive and caring emails to help me get through the process. Sarah is an AMAZING attorney who not only cares about your case, she sincerely cares about her clients. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone searching for professional representation with a personal touch!

Sarah was wonderful to work with. I was in the position to have to give testimony in a health licensing board investigation. Being concerned and overwhelmed I wanted someone to look out for my best interests. Sarah did exactly that. She was thorough and made sure I understood everything I was involved in. I would definitely recommend hiring Sarah. She is knowledgeable and caring and does not fit into the stereotypical attorney role.

I retained Sarah for representation when I was called before the BON for allegations made against me. Not only did she advise me on the best defense against the allegations, she also offered me sound legal advice on how to buffer my image and which verbiage I should use and not use before the board. I felt confident, prepared, and emotionally able to handle the outcome of the encounter with the board. With Sarah's help, I was able to get the allegations dismissed. i would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking legal council. She made herself available to me for questions and information at all times, which I greatly appreciated. Sarah made me feel comfortable even though I was being threatened with fairly damaging allegations. She is a open-minded individual and I feel she remains unbiased which is extremely important while seeking representation.

Sarah Macgillis represented me in a student maltreatment case. It was a very frightening time in my career as an educator. I was stunned and didn't understand what was happening as the school began its investigation. From the very first phone consultation, with Ms. Macgillis, I realized that I was in extremely capable hands. Sarah showed a great deal of compassion as she listened to my story. She let me know that this was an area of expertise, and I was reassured by her knowledge in this area of the law. She did a wonderful job of preparing me for the investigator's interview as she walked me through possible questions that might be asked. She also helped me to keep things in perspective during the six month process. Sarah was always available to discuss my case and answer any questions that I had throughout the process, even to the point where she was willing to receive calls and emails during her personal vacation time. That, in my way of thinking, is going above and beyond the call of duty, which truly speaks to who Sarah is as a professional and as a person. When my case reached a favorable determination on my behalf, Sarah celebrated along with me. I highly recommend Sarah Macgillis as a lawyer. She deserves as many positive reviews as there are stars in the sky!

Sarah MacGillis is one of the most committed, aggressive, professional and effective attorneys. Sarah is one of the very rare, shining examples of the sort of consummately professional, caring, and thoughtful attorneys should be. Sarah has gone out of her way at every point to clearly communicate and keep me informed. Sarah was amazingly thorough and creative in her search for cases relevant to my own. I found Sarah very capable of keeping me focused on each step of the process which I considered to be quite daunting. Her follow through is to be commended and she always returns phone calls and quickly replies to email. Though Sarah is empathic, her ability to keep the broader perspective in focus for me was extremely helpful. Sarah was a very calming and empowering presence as I went through the legal process that involved very personal aspects of my life. I find Sarah to be that rare combination of kind, hardworking and of unquestionable integrity. I would highly recommend Sarah MacGillis, and I do believe one would be fortunate to engage her services. I am eternally grateful for Sarah MacGillis and for the outcome of my case.

Sarah did a wonderful job representing our family member in dealing with the Board of Nursing. She was very knowledgeable, compassionate, and intelligent. Sarah empathizes with her clients and has their best interest at heart. She is a formidable ally and we would strongly recommend working with her!
