Before joining the firm, Sarah was an Assistant Public Defender for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit. In her year at the Public Defender’s office, Sarah drafted and argued motions, handled evidentiary hearings, and first-chaired a trial.

Sarah then attended law school, on a full scholarship, while continuing to work part-time.
