**Note: This review is for working specifically with Sarah Oberer. I do not have experience with any of the other lawyers at the law firm**
It was my hope to have given Sarah at ShurLaw an excellent review but, unfortunately, I had a negative experience working with her.
Some of the challenges working with Sarah:
-Lack of a thought/care about personal safety. Because my case included domestic violence protections, my safety should have been a top priority. Despite several conversations stressing the importance of protecting confidential information, she made errors that could have compromised my personal safety.
-Unhelpful advice that would have unnecessarily costs thousands of extra dollars. I also asked some fairly basic questions and days later would inform me that she was, in fact, wrong. She constantly needed outside input for my questions and when correcting her errors, I was charged. Literally, "paying for her mistakes".
-Lack of responsibility for errors. Rather than taking responsibility for her errors, instead she deflected it, telling me that I should be checking her work.
-Unclear communication. For example, receiving constant conflicting calendar invites for cancelled/rescheduled events. This added unnecessary stress and cost me valuable time and energy.
My goal for working with her was to solve problems, instead of create new ones. Instead of feeling like she was an advocate, it felt like I constantly needed to advocate for myself to feel seen, heard, understood, and cared for, while adding additional stress due to errors and lack of experience.
If you have a very simple and straightforward case, she might be helpful. Had I known what it was like to work with her, I would have found someone else.
I hope this helps you in your journey to find the best representation for you whether that is with Sarah or another qualified lawyer. read more
