Sara Lyons

I serve as a trusted advisor to individuals and families, helping them plan for the future with clarity and confidence. I graduated from Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law in 2003 and have built my work around clear communication, practical problem-solving, and a genuine commitment to helping clients feel confident in the decisions they are making. In addition to my estate planning practice, I also serve as fractional corporate counsel to small and mid-sized businesses. That work gives me added perspective when advising families, especially those who own businesses or have more complex financial lives.

My training in mediation and dispute resolution informs how I work with clients. I hold a certificate in dispute resolution and advocacy and have extensive training in negotiation and alternative dispute resolution. This foundation allows me to guide clients through important decisions in a calm, thoughtful, and collaborative way. My experience in family educational mentoring, along with a certificate in parent education, further shapes how I support clients with empathy and understanding.

I believe that estate planning is about far more than documents. It is about protecting relationships, preserving dignity, and helping families move forward with confidence. My goal is to help clients create plans that minimize conflict, avoid unnecessary court involvement, and provide clarity for their loved ones when it matters most. I aim to be a trusted advisor who clients can turn to not only for documents, but for guidance through life’s important transitions.

Whether planning for the future or navigating life’s changes, I strive to make the process approachable, thoughtful, and grounded in genuine care. As a parent of three, I understand firsthand the importance of planning for and protecting the people we love.
