Angela Jackson
I engaged Sarah LaFreniere for a complex antitrust litigation matter involving financial services, and while her expertise in these areas was evident, I found the overall experience somewhat lacking in communication efficiency. Sarah’s background at Edelson PC and her recognition in antitrust and financial regulation law gave me confidence, but the delays in responses and occasional ambiguity in updates left me feeling a bit in the dark at times. She handled the case with professionalism, and her strategic approach was solid, but I expected more personalized attention given the magnitude of the dispute. The legal work itself was competent, and she effectively leveraged her experience in commercial disputes, but the process could have been smoother. For someone seeking a technically sound attorney with a strong litigation background, she’s a good choice—but if responsiveness and transparency are top priorities, you may want to set clear expectations upfront.

I worked with Sarah LaFreniere on a complex antitrust case involving financial regulations, and her expertise was immediately apparent. She has an impressive background from American University's Washington College of Law, and her recognition in antitrust and financial services law speaks volumes about her capabilities. Sarah's ability to navigate complex litigation and her strategic approach to our case were truly invaluable. While she was exceptionally thorough and clear in her advice, I did notice that her response times were occasionally slower than expected, particularly during busy periods. The cost of her services was also on the higher side, but given her deep knowledge and track record, it was justified. I would highly recommend Sarah for anyone dealing with intricate financial or commercial disputes.

I worked with Sarah LaFreniere at Edelson PC on an antitrust litigation matter, and while her expertise in financial services and complex commercial disputes was evident, there were some areas where the experience felt inconsistent. She clearly understood the nuances of my case and her legal strategy was thoughtful, particularly given her recognition in antitrust law. However, communication could have been more proactive—wait times for responses were longer than expected, and I often had to follow up to get updates. The outcome was favorable, but the process could have been smoother. Overall, a competent attorney, but one who might benefit from refining client communication protocols.

Pamela Smith
I hired Ms. LaFreniere for an antitrust litigation matter, and while her legal expertise was clear, there were moments when communication felt inconsistent. She has impressive credentials, including recognition in financial services regulation and complex commercial disputes, which I appreciated during our case. Her 11 years of experience were evident in her strategic approach. However, response times to emails occasionally lagged, and updates on case developments were not always timely. The outcome was satisfactory, but I expected more proactive communication given the complexity of the matter. For clients who value regular, detailed updates, this might be an area to consider. Overall, her legal acumen is strong, but the experience could be smoother with better attention to client communication.
