Prior to the launch of my own firm, I was employed at a large defense firm in Atlanta Georgia.  The experience I gained at the defense firm has benefited my ability to understand defenses to claims and what to expect from defense attorneys.  I have had the fortune to grow my experience in the legal field by working with a variety of Personal Injury and Workers’ Compensation matters. I am a hard-working individual dedicated to providing my clients with excellent representation.. I have spent the last few years working with clients in the Metro-Atlanta area as well as the Southern areas of Georgia. As a life long resident of this state, I am very familiar with the legal systems present throughout the entire state.  I am excited about the prospect of being able to bring excellent representation to  people throughout the entire state of Georgia.. With a primary location in Atlanta and a satellite office in Macon, I am extremely accessibly to any parties to a claim.

Prior to practicing law, I stood where few personal injury attorneys have ever stood. I was a victim. The ngeligence of someone else caused me to lose my father, whom I was very close to, in a fatal car accident.. I was extremely hurt, confused, possed with questions for which I needed answers. Having a gut feeling, I reached out to a childhood friend who was an attorney, Follwing my gut feeling was the best thing I've ever did. My worse fear was confirmed, the insurance company's offer was drastically below what my case was actually worth.. I thought to myself, if an insurance company tried this with me, there are countless others who the insurance company actually get away with undercompensating.  Therefore, I founded The Dennis Law Firm, LLC, as a firm that advocates for victims who have been seriously injured or have lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence.. My core philosophy is simple: Provide each client with A-1 customer service, while getting them the compensation they so richly desere.

PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY“I strive to handle every case with the most effective combination of zealous advocacy, pragmatism, and cost-efficiency that I can deliver. In no other practice area do clients ‘live their case’ each day the way that they do in family law matters. Every person who walks in my door deserves not only a focused litigation strategy, but patience, attention and respect.”BIOSarah provides her clients with a framework of straightforward strategic advice that is grounded in realistic expectations without sacrificing the uncompromising quality of its results – whether such results are rendered in the courtroom, or written at the mediator’s table.   She believes that law is an ever-evolving practice, and, toward that end, has established a niche of keeping her fellow practitioners aware of the most cutting-edge Georgia case law.  She is a regular presenter at statewide family law conferences and seminars.Prior to forming Hoelting & McCormack LLC, Sarah spent more than ten years at the family law firm of Kessler & Solomiany LLP, where she became its first female partner..
