Sarah Vokey was recommended to me with high praise and I have no doubt that I made the right decision by retaining her services.
She negotiated for a settlement much larger than was initially offered. Had I not talked with Ms. Vokey – I never would have known to what I was legally entitled under common law.
Sarah made an unpleasant experience so much easier with her knowledge, expertise and the trust I had in her to take care of my interests. I would recommend Sarah Vokey to anyone in need of her expertise.
