Heaven Sent

“Saraliene saved my life! If it had not been for her, I’m not sure what the outcome would’ve been. She is truly heaven sent. From day one, Saraliene was on it. She kept me informed throughout the entire process and handled my case with extreme care. My case was Dismissed! Wow, I’m so thankful for her. I can’t say what your outcome will be, but Saraliene will work hard for you and you will not have to think twice because she truly does care about you. Please hire her!! She’s absolutely amazing!”

— Michelle, former client

Almost Too Good to be True

“Saraliene was hired by a friend of mine who was in real trouble, partially due to a different, very incompetent lawyer, that had been retained but wasn’t doing his job. When she heard the story and was retained, she very quickly started to turn things in the right direction and was VERY attentive to the case. She was professional and caring toward all parties involved and did a wonderful job of keeping all of us informed. I believe that outcome of the case was as good as it could have possibly been and that the credit definitely goes to Saralienefor that. My friend is so grateful to have found her when he did and can’t stop talking about how amazing she is, as a person, and as an attorney. If anyone else I know is ever in need of a federal criminal attorney, I will absolutely do my best to convince them to hire her.”

Kudos to this Attorney

“As the mother of a 47 yr old who is a felon with dual diagnoses of addiction and a severe psychiatric disorder, we are well acquainted with defense attorneys. When attorney Saraliene Durrett took our case, she gave us hope because she listened, ferreted out the truth, and presented our case in a way that the judge listened to her plea. My daughter was not returned to jail for more punishment. She was entered into a Cobb County Mental Health program where she is schooled for 8 hrs per day. She attends court one day a week and is randomly tested for drugs. In addition, a pharmacy supplies her medications for her seizures at a reduced cost.

Kudos to this brilliant woman who has always believed in justice. She fought hard for my daughter, the overlooked "underdog."”

The Best Attorney You Will Ever Find

“Saraliene Smith Durrett- Is a phenomenal attorney to say the least. She knows the law and federal law guidelines, as if she wrote them herself. Saraliene worked at the top criminal defense law firm in Las Vegas Chesnoff and Schonfeld. Her attention to detail, along with their amazing way of assuring all of her clients they will be taken care of was essential. Her ability to argue a case against the United States Attorney of the State of Nevada and win and win an un winnable case. Words can not properly thank her enough. God Sent, are the only words that can describe my feelings for her. My family and I will always be in Saraliene's debt. Ensuring my family's safety and the ability to keep us together, proves there is no one better in representing clients who need a tuff, knowledgeable, honest and most of all caring attorney than Saraliene. It is my hope no one will need to be defended criminally however, should you find your self in this situation, please make Saraliene Smith-Durrett your first and only call...”
