Sara Doty Attorney at Law, LLC - Huntsville, Alabama

Heather G.

There are moments in life that define your family's story—moments full of hope, fear, and overwhelming emotion. For us, that moment was the day my son’s stepfather, the man who had loved and raised him as his own from the very beginning, legally became his father. And none of it would have been possible without Sara Doty.
From our very first meeting, Sara didn’t just treat us like clients—she treated us like people, like a family trying to build something meaningful and lasting. She listened with genuine compassion, took time to understand our journey, and guided us through every step of the adoption process with professionalism and kindness.
Adoption is more than paperwork. It’s about hearts, and bonds, and making what’s always been felt into something legally recognized. Sara understood that deeply. She celebrated the joyful parts with us, and she made the hard parts easier. She made us feel safe and supported, even when emotions ran high.
The day the judge signed the papers, there were tears—not just ours, but even in Sara’s eyes. She wasn’t just doing her job; she was part of our story. Thanks to her, my son now carries the name of the man who’s been “Dad” since day one. And our family feels more whole than ever.
If you’re looking for someone who will fight for your family as if it were her own, someone who truly cares, you will find that in Sara Doty. We are forever grateful for Sara and her Executive Assistant Gabby Hannum.

Working with Sara Doty on the adoption of my stepson was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life, and I truly can’t thank her enough. From the moment we first spoke, she treated our case not just as another file, but as a deeply personal and important journey. It was clear that she understood how much this meant to our family.
Adoption is more than just paperwork—it’s love, commitment, and sometimes years of waiting and hoping all coming together. Sara never lost sight of that. She handled every legal detail with professionalism and precision, but what stood out most was her compassion. She listened, she reassured us when we were anxious, and she celebrated every milestone right alongside us.
There were moments during this process when I felt overwhelmed, but Sara always made us feel seen and supported. Her warmth and kindness gave us comfort through the unknowns. She wasn’t just our lawyer—she became an advocate for our family and a guide through one of the most emotional chapters of our lives.
Thanks to Sara, I can now officially call my stepson my son. That moment in court, hearing the judge declare what our hearts had known all along, was unforgettable—and it wouldn’t have happened without her dedication.
If you are looking for an attorney who leads with both heart and expertise, I can’t recommend Sara Doty enough. She helped bring our family closer together, and for that, we are forever grateful.
Gabby Hannum is the best Executive Assistant. She answered all our emails and calls throughout the whole process. We can’t thank her enough for everything she has done. My son is forever grateful to both Sara and Gabby.

Excellent!! Sara Doty and her firm have been my lawyer for six (6 years! She is caring, thorough, and competent! She treats you as she wants to be treated.

I decided to change my "Last Will" to a "Living Trust," which is very comprehensive and addresses probate, Power of Attorney, Healthcare Directive, Asset Protection, Guardianship, and Conservatorship!

Sara and her staff are very accommodating and easy to work with. I have referred many family, friends, and fellow employees to her for legal services. ALL have been totally satisfied and LOVE HER!!

I am so happy that I chose her firm when I looked through the phone book. If you need a lawyer, I recommend Sara Doty, Attorney at Law, without reservation!!!

I called Sara Doty in somewhat of a panic due to the situation we were dealing with, we needed to get estate planning paperwork signed immediately. She was so reassuring and informative - explained a lot of the process to me so calmly and thoroughly that it definitely helped to calm my nerves! And not only that, she had the paperwork I needed to get signed to me by the end of the day. HIGHLY recommend Sara and her firm!! She is the best!!

Sara was extremely helpful and professional! She even went above and beyond to offer some guidance on a matter that was outside of the original scope of what I was looking for. Highly recommend!

Knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We were struggling to figure out how to help our dad who's health was declining and she made sure we could legally take care of him with no hassles... Something we put off for months was handled in no time. Thank you!!

My fiancé and I have utilized Sara for her legal expertise over the course of the past several months and couldn’t be more satisfied. Sara has continuously gone over and above to ensure we’re properly informed from a legal standpoint, extremely responsive/ communicative, and aware of all possible outcomes prior to any hearings/ court-orders. Moreover, aside from being an expert in the field, Sara is a compassionate person who always puts her clients’ emotional wellbeing at the forefront. If you’re going through a difficult time, we’d highly recommend Sara as an attorney, mentor and friend.
