Sarah Hess

Sarah Hess is a seasoned Paralegal at Willow Legal Group, where she brings compassion, precision, and a deep understanding of probate administration to families navigating some of life’s most challenging transitions.

With over 20 years of experience in the legal field, Sarah’s career has taken her through large litigation firms, in-house corporate legal departments, and estate planning and probate law practices. While her initial interest in law was sparked by a college course on international law, it was her early work as a paralegal that confirmed she’d found her professional calling.

At Willow Legal Group, Sarah loves working with clients during what can be an overwhelming time in their lives. She’s passionate about making the probate process as clear and seamless as possible for families dealing with the loss of a loved one. One piece of advice she regularly offers: “For estate planning, no matter how young or healthy you might be, get a plan in place. And for probate — keep records of everything.”

Outside the office, Sarah is an avid traveler with a love for exploring new destinations, cultures, and local cuisines. A proud “foodie,” she enjoys living in Montgomery County for its incredible diversity of restaurants. When she’s not traveling, you’ll likely find her reading or spending time with family and friends.

Her daily essential? Exercise. Though she may grumble through a workout, she values the energy, strength, and balance it adds to her life.

What Sarah appreciates most about Willow Legal Group is the spirit of teamwork and constant collaboration to improve processes and client experiences.
