I didn't even comprehend before I had Sarah represent me that an attorney could be so terrible. She does way more harm than good. I was completely transparent with her, went into detail about everything. She listens and nods, as if it's all sinking in. She had my case for months and right before we are scheduled to talk to the judge she told me I didn't have a case. My ex is a diagnosed sociopath. She had no clue about parental alienation and she's a family law attorney. IMO she shouldn't even have a law license.

Sarah advised me many times to do things that ended up causing more harm than good and just cost more money. She was not able to handle the stress of my case and had a hard time “winning” on any level. When I confronted her with my concerns, she was rude, condescending and belittling. I would not reccomend her to anyone.

Was in a lengthy custody battle and just in general with my sons mother we were never married. Throughout Sarah and her assistant were there every step of the way even at one point I was granted full temporary custody as a man in Utah that happens very little. She's a truly caring person that will give you your money's worth. Utah needs to be better about enforcing law and about realizing sex is just that and has no bearing on who is better for a child. In reality both are best separate or not cause at times one or the other may not be the better parent. For a situation so complex Sarah is a good person to have to help you through it.

I used Sarah Giacovelli and her office for my divorce case. My divorce was extremely complicated, involving many assets, alimony issues, and custody issues. Instead of walking into a boxing match, Sarah negotiated with my husband and husband's attorney is a way to make it seem easy and effortless to come to a resolution. I have recommended many friends to her, who have had the same great outcome. Thank you Sarah.

As a father, going through a custody battle seemed a little overwhelming. I was told that Utah is always in favor of giving custody to the mother. But, Sarah educated me on my rights, and helped me to get joint custody of my kids. I can never thank her enough.

Going through a divorce is one of the hardest things that i have ever had to go through. Sarah handled me and my case with care from the very beginning. She was prompt, explained the whole process, and didn't feel like I was continually being charged for every little thing. I trusted Sarah and her firm with my life, and they were always there to help support me. I ended up with the perfect custody situation, for me and my kids. My settlement agreement turned out just how I believed it should. I would recommend Sarah Giacovelli to anyone who needed an attorney.

I initially used Sarah Giacovelli for my divorce. I was constantly surprised by the lack of follow up, communication and information she provided. Sarah completely failed to prepare for my first mediation hearing, including simple preparation like providing me with the information I needed to attend! I attending my first mediation hearing via telephone (Sarah advised this wouldn't be a problem. It was). During the mediation, the opposing counsel continually made false statements about my monthly income (as presented to me by the mediator). Despite having three months worth of paystubs, Sarah did nothing to contradict him (it gets worse). During a later hearing, the opposing counsel made the same false statements about my monthly income, and, despite having 9 MONTHS worth of pay stubs, Sarah did nothing to contradict him. In other words, even with concrete evidence of my monthly income, Sarah was unable to prove my monthly income!!! After I replaced Sarah with another lawyer, Sarah waited about four months to produce my final bill. When Sarah finally sent me the final bill, Sarah demanded I pay within thirty days. When I told Sarah that I wanted a discount due to her poor performance and that I would probably dispute parts of the bill, Sarah immediately involved a THIRD PARTY and informed them of my dispute.

She is not only a only a very good attorney but she is a great person to just have as a friend. She goes far beyond the scope of just your lawyer and wiil be fair in every aspect of law. I am privileged to have had the chance to retain her and her vast knowledge of the law working for me not against me. I also thankful the fine people of the law firm Nemelka&Nemelka, everyone was great. Sincerely Mike Mead Sandy Ut,
