Clients reviews about Sarah S. Shepard, Attorney at Law

I would highly rocommend Sarah and her firm for your estate planning needs. Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with from the initial consultation, addressing and handling any questions and concerns regarding the initial drafts and review, to finalizing the signing and witnessing process. Each step of the way she instilled confidence that I had made the right choice. Lastly, and once everything was completed, I left with a list of items to address with my loved ones and a clear cut plan of how to instruct family members to move forward at that special time of need. I'm thankful that I chose Sarah S. Shepard as my estate planning attorney! ~ Dave D

We needed to have our end of life planning documents drawn up (Will, Advanced Directive, etc.) and were looking for a way to get this done with minimum hassle. Sarah's office has an easy online scheduling system; then she does a consultation with you about what kinds of documents you need and answers any questions. The office sends you a survey to get information, writes up the documents, and emails you digital versions, making adjustments as needed. As legal matters go, it was a pretty painless process--no easy feat! She also charges a flat fee up front so you know what you are paying and what you are getting for it. I would recommend to people who need documents for end-of-life planning. ~ Bonnie W

Very positive experience working with Sarah Shepard (and her team) and highly recommend her. My mother and I recently moved to the Huntsville area from Ohio and she helped us to update our wills (and trust), powers of attorney, and health care directives. The process was very efficient (largely electronic) and completed timely and at a reasonable cost. She provided us with expert guidance and tailored the various legal documents to our specific needs/desires. We were thankful we engaged an experienced professional (versus DIY approach) as the peace of mind of knowing our affairs are in order is comforting. ~ Lynda B

I have worked with attorneys for years and can, without equivocation, say that this is one of the best attorneys you can retain. Why? Ms. Shepard, and her team, are responsive in returning calls, emails and answering questions. The office immediately checks to make sure documents are received and appointments are confirmed. More importantly, Ms. Shepard is thorough and detailed in her work, making sure she is meeting your needs and explaining all the fine points. Finally, there is the caring, and sincere, atmosphere of the office. I cannot say enough positive things about Ms. Shepard and her team. ~ Mary L

Our estate planning experience with Sarah and her team was outstanding. Sarah did a great job explaining our options, and made very helpful recommendations. We didn't fully understand what would fall under probate and what could be simply handled by beneficiary designations. Sarah took the time to help us navigate the process handling in person via phone call explanations and clarifications. Once we completed our portion of the process, Sarah had our documents ready to review and sign in short order. Fees were very reasonable. We are happy that we worked with Sarah Shepard to get our estate planning project completed! ~ Wafa M

It takes a village to start a business and build a brand around its mission. Sarah has been an integral member of my professional team as my business attorney. She has worked tirelessly for months to obtain the registered trademark for Alabama The Beautiful®, something neither of us were sure was possible given the recognizable nature of this phrase. But she did it. She is a necessary source of advice to me regarding intelletual property and copyright law, a critical requirement in publishing and social media. She has helped with filings for a nonprofit I manage. She has been with me at every turn and I highly recommend her legal services. ~ Beth D

Sarah was my third attorney that I have used in trying to get a Will and Trust done. She is fabulous and really knows her stuff. I am into Real Estate and she knows more than my CPA about Alabama Real Estate laws. Also, I found her through her Blog posts which educated me on an Alabama Trust before I contacted her. After meeting with her on a consultation, I had the confidence that she knew more than both of my prior attorneys combined. The entire process was smooth and best of all she kept her word on the price of the Trust. I will be using her again as I expand my real estate empire. Dr. Darrell Bratton Ph.D. ~ Darrell B

Just today I have finished updating my last will and testament, including a trust, a living will, and power of attorney forms. Sarah and her team have guided me through the process every step of the way and have been very patient and professional in getting me documents for me to review and update quickly, as well as letting me know of issues concerning leaving certain types of items to individuals. I am very pleased at the thoroughness of the documentation; it is certainly much more detailed than my previous will from South Carolina. I am planning to have Sarah help me in starting a LLC soon, as well. ~ David C

The entire estate planning process with Sarah and her staff could not have been any easier. We had two truly short, but informative teleconferences with Sarah to discuss the entire estate procedure, where all our questions were discussed and answered. The quick turnaround on draft documents and revisions was completed within a two-week period and concluded with a formal in-person meeting to conduct a final review and signatures of the new estate packet. I highly recommend to anyone looking to complete an estate plan. Thank you so much for everything, Marianne Dewyer ~ cdewyer

My business partner and I were in search for legal advice regarding a written contract/promissory note for potential investors in our LLC and luckily connected with Sarah! Sarah took the time to understand our long term plans for the LLC, what we were ideally looking for in the document, and shared ways that we could not only protect the LLC, but also protect our investors. I would definitely recommend local business owners and entrepreneurs reach out to Sarah for any legal inquiries! ~ Matt J

Sarah helped my wife and I get our estate planning (living wills w a testamentary trust for our son, power of attorney, and health care directives) in order. She offers a free 20 min consultation phone call where she listened to our concerns and made a recommendation for us and explained how it addressed our concerns. That sold us on moving forward and the process (& communication throughout) was outstanding. We definitely recommend you give Sarah a call ~ Patrick W

Sarah was amazing in helping me to understand the process of starting my LLC and negotiating my contract for a position I am transitioning to and using my LLC for. Responses were reasonable and quick in time, and fees were noted before services, which allowed me to plan and choose the options that best suited my needs.
