“TOOK FELONY AND A MISDEMEANOR TO TRIAL WITH SARAH ERNST AND WAS ACQUITTED!”

“I was represented by Sarah Ernst in a felony and high-level misdemeanor case. I hadn't committed the crimes of which I was accused. I felt extreme pressure to take a deal offered by the state, but my conscience wouldn't allow me to say I had done something I hadn't done.

Sarah stood by me and gave me the confidence to take it to trial. I was acquitted on both counts at trial. I was afraid, and Sarah made me aware of the risks of proceeding, but she gave me the fortitude to continue fighting.

Sarah is knowledgeable and hardworking, and she actually cares. She kept an objective point of view while also empathizing with me. The state literally sent thousands of pages of discovery days before trial, and Sarah read it all to avoid delay. I couldn't have made a better choice for someone to represent me.

Her communication was extremely prompt and detailed. She addressed every concern and question. I was never left hanging or wondering if she was thinking about my case.

I was represented by another before Sarah and was told I had very little chance of prevailing. I can guarantee you that not all criminal defense attorneys are of the quality and caliber of Sarah”

-Joseph S.

“During an incredibly stressful time, when my brother faced a felony DWI appeal, I turned to Sarah Ernst… on the recommendation of a trusted friend. From the very start, Sarah's dedication was evident. She immediately took up my brother's case, showing a level of commitment and professionalism that was above and beyond what one might expect.

Financially, working with Sarah and her team was a relief. I had previously engaged another lawyer whose services I had to discontinue, leaving me with tied-up funds. Sarah and her firm were incredibly accommodating, understanding the financial constraints, and made the process as smooth as possible.

Sarah's approach was exemplary; she was transparent, punctual, and reliable. Every promise she made was kept, every deadline met. Her tenacity in the courtroom was unmatched, transforming what seemed like an insurmountable sentence of 15 years into a mere 2 years.

My only regret is not having chosen Sarah Ernst … from the outset. They are not just lawyers; they are fighters for justice, dedicated to their clients, and truly make a difference when it matters most. If you're in need of legal representation, especially in complex and high-stakes situations like ours, there's no one better than Sarah Ernst and her team...

Highly recommended for anyone needing a lawyer who will not just represent you but will champion your cause with every resource at their disposal.”
