Sara Marler

I once wondered aloud to my therapist whether I should become a therapist myself. She stopped me. "We need people like you on that side," she said. She was right. I've spent more than 20 years as a family law attorney — and for the last eight, I've been building a practice around a simple belief: people going through divorce deserve to feel supported, not just represented. That's what trauma-informed family law looks like at Marler Law Partners. It means real conversations, not document dumps. Mandatory face-to-face check-ins at key case phases. An office designed to feel like a break from the stress, not an extension of it. And a communications structure so no client ever goes a month without hearing from their lawyer. I'm also a trained divorce coach because I've seen that the legal process alone isn't enough. Coaches help clients take what's happening and turn it into action items. They lower stress and minimize legal fees. It's practical, and I love it. Our firm handles high-conflict divorce and custody cases across Missouri. I graduated cum laude and Top 10% of my class from New England Law, and I've been the voice of children, victims of abuse, and people fighting to hold on to what matters most to them. Here's what clients say about working with us: "Working with Marler Law Partners made the best out of a bad situation. Wonderful, caring, and very knowledgeable." — Pamela S.
