I hired Sarah to represent me on a case in Jerseyville Il. only after I kept it continuing for over…read more2 years. Her prices were $7500 and if it went to trial $10,000. Cost aside service was horrible she didn't really do anything for me I basically paid her $7,500 to accept the same deal that the public defender already offered me and then before I even accepted the deal I was trying to have her negotiate a few points for me but she wouldn't stand her ground I guess is what it was something she then proceeded to tell me that I needed to hurry up and make up my mind she was tired of making the trip from her office all the way to the courthouse. And then after I accepted the deal and had to do some weekends but there were some clerical errors I would say on the courts behalf and I had questions and I needed her to address the court for me or call the assistant State's Attorney or whatever she basically told me about no she did tell me she's no longer on my case the case has been settled and that's it she's not my lawyer anymore but if I'm not mistaken I paid lawyer is to represent you until the case is dismissed closed or you've been found guilty you know what I mean like I don't understand just because I signed a piece of paper saying it that I'll be on two years probation my case wasn't over she's horrible at her job she doesn't have the nerve to stand up and fight for her clients because my case was illegal search and seizure wrongly accused then that was used against me to in their eyes be able to search my vehicle and then give me bogus charges and she she was willing she said to go to trial but of course I'd had to pay 2500 more dollars and that's not including the hourly rate after that so it was 10,000 just to go to trial and then it was attorney fees and filing fees and all that on top of it so you can see how someone that had a public defender for 2 years and continued the case couldn't afford an attorney really didn't have the money to really go to trial but let alone pay all them fees so you see how somebody can just basically get bullied into accepting the deal and just do not hire this lady stay away from me they're Law Firm

This is the Worst law office I have ever hired. The paralegal is rude and it felt like she was…read moreattacking me, the client. I paid to have a probate opened and make sure I was the administrator to an estate because family members were doing what they wanted, taking things with it not being open. They said it would be NO PROBLEM. That was wrong completely. My attorney Paul Marks (who is a probate attorney) didn't even argue the case. It felt like he did nothing.. Oh wait! He did do nothing. I went and gathered everything he needed for court and he presented nothing. He lost to a bankruptcy attorney. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Sivia law office was not a cheap law office. I will make sure to spread my dissatisfaction far and wide. I'm waiting now to see what this horrific court appearance that day costed me, besides the estate being not properly handled.
