Sabra Law Group, PLLC

Am very grateful to Sabra for all that she did to ensure the successful sale of my property. Since I first contracted her services 20 years ago for assisting me with the house purchase process, she has consistently demonstrated skill, efficiency, dedication and a pleasant demeanor. I recommend her highly for the provision of similar services in the future!

Apologies I have a review down below, but something that I would advise if you ever use this person as a mediator please record the call. You can use otter AI to record the Zoom call.

She gave my ex legal advice during the call and as a mediator that is not permissible.

I forgot to include that in the below.

EXTREME CAUTION ⚠️: I hired Sabra as a mediator based on strong recommendations and her stated experience. Unfortunately, my experience raised serious concerns about her neutrality, professionalism, judgment, and suitability for child related mediation.
From the start, my role as the primary caregiver was minimized while my child’s father, my former partner, was consistently given the benefit of the doubt. Sabra used accusatory language toward me, including terms such as “punish,” “threaten,” and “deny,” without applying similar accountability to him.
She criticized me for relocating before my child was ever born, she also criticized my career due to industry wide return to office mandates, while prioritizing my ex’s access to our child over my ability to financially support that child. This was especially troubling given that he works fully remote, owns his business, and has significantly more flexibility than I do. She suggested that his homeownership should outweigh my role as the child’s primary caregiver.
At the time of mediation, my son was three months old and breast feeding, yet Sabra advocated that he be with his father eight hours a day without me. This demonstrated a concerning lack of understanding of infant development, feeding, attachment, postpartum realities, and basic caregiving needs.
During the session, Sabra made inappropriate personal remarks, including commenting that my ex and I were attractive people, which felt unnecessary and unprofessional in a child focused mediation.
Even more troubling, she asked whether my reactions were because I questioned whether my ex was the biological father of my child. Multiple attorneys I later consulted advised that this question was inappropriate and deeply concerning. Multiple attorneys advised me that the conduct described above would typically warrant a formal grievance with the bar or relevant professional oversight bodies.
I later learned that Sabra attended a Shabbat dinner at my ex’s home. This was never disclosed to me and seriously undermined the neutrality required of a mediator. I located her name on a spreadsheet of attendees at his home, which I provided to her after our first mediation session. She never responded or addressed the issue.
There were also significant procedural and financial failures. I paid my ex two thousand dollars toward mediation costs based on our stated agreement to split fees. Sabra allowedg him to unilaterally terminate the mediation process without notifying me directly, other than canceling a calendar invite, and she made no effort to ensure I was reimbursed for funds paid toward mediation that never occurred. My follow up questions regarding this were never answered.
She also contradicted her own communication policies. Despite emphasizing that all communication must include all parties, I later received a vague message stating that parties canceled mediation, with no clarification as to whether the session was rescheduled or whether mediation had ended entirely.
Overall, this mediation felt biased, poorly managed, and profoundly out of touch with the realities of parenting a newborn. Based on her comments and recommendations, Sabra demonstrated little understanding of infant care, attachment, or early childhood development. This raises serious concerns about her qualifications to mediate custody matters involving infants. I would strongly caution parents, especially mothers of newborns, against using her services.
