Sara K. Wahl, Attorney at Law, PLLC

Sara is not only an expert in Collaborative Law, but she is extremely easy to talk to in what can be a very challenging time of life when families are considering (or going through) a divorce. Sara's approach keeps children at the forefront of all discussions and the divorce outcome, encouraging both parties to work together as "Co-Parents" for a "winning outcome" for the whole family. Sara is very connected in the local divorce and mediation community in WA, helping connect me with "parent coach mediators" (resources) and "divorce certified financial planners" that helped keep the costs of a divorce down significantly, while also helping keep all parties feeling invested/heard in the overall process. Sara is compassionate, she is amazingly knowledgeable and she puts her clients first. I would highly encourage that families considering divorce connect with Sara Wahl, attorney. Post-divorce, our "2-home" household is now thriving with much credit due to Sara's help in our collaborative divorce process.

I am an estate planning attorney and have done updated estate plans for several clients who had just completed their divorces using Sara Wahl's services. They have been uniformly glowing in their reports of working with her. They have all come to me with both a really clear understanding of what they have financially coming out of the process and what that means for their long term security. They have also often come with a good enough working relationship with their ex-spouse to be able to work cooperatively with them as co-parents to make joint decisions about ultimate guardians and trusts for their kids. I frequently refer clients to Sara for both divorce work and pre-nups and do so without any hesitation for both clients and friends.

Sara met with us initially and recommended mediation vs a collaborative divorce process. She pointed us to a very skillful mediator, Teresa Sisk, who handled our mediation in a most professional and effective means. We then returned to Sara for filing which she completed in less than a week. It’s never a straight line to the end, but if you and your spouse can play the long game and not let the skirmishes prevent you from amicably completing the process, Sara is the best.

Sara is really good at her job because she is a great listener and she is really smart. Getting a divorce can be very scary. It is really hard to know who to trust and where to go for help. Sara knows her stuff and will explain all of your options. She will listen to your concerns and fears and steer you clear of the dangerous decisions that could cause an acrimonious divorce. She is all about putting the kids first and making sure that things work for everyone. Collaborate divorce is one of the hardest and best things I have ever decided to do. Four years later, I am still benefiting from the decisions and goals that we made in that process and from the advice and council of the team that Sara put together for us. I have recommended Sara to other friends who have used her and they all feel the same.

I have truly enjoyed working with Sara Wahl, as she is very skilled at facilitating constructive solutions for clients going through divorce. She brings wisdom, compassion, and clear direction, and I highly recommend her services.

Sara is a terrific attorney. She is committed to helping clients create agreements that work for both spouses and support co-parenting relationships.
