I remember at graduation listening to so many of my fellow law students who, after 3 years of law school and over $90,000 in loan debt, had decided that they never wanted to practice law.  I feel very blessed that I actually love what I do for a living.  I like getting to know my clients, their needs, and figuring out solutions for them in the most cost-effective manner.  I will advocate strongly for my clients, whether that is in court or out of court.

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..
