Sarah joined the firm in 2013 after graduating summa cum laude from Duquesne University School of Law, where she taught trial advocacy and litigation technology as an adjunct professor. She was an integral member of a team securing a US$40.4 million jury verdict in a September 2016 private defamation suit in New Jersey state court. The verdict is listed as the 45th-highest in the National Law Journal’s Top 100 Verdicts of 2016. It was upheld by the New Jersey Supreme Court, and the judgment has been paid. Sarah was also an integral member of a team securing a unanimous jury verdict in favor of a corporate policyholder seeking insurance coverage for silica-related liabilities in West Virginia state court.
In 2018, Sarah moved to New York, where she practiced as a prosecutor specializing in crimes against children and sexual assault. As a New York State Prosecutor, Sarah secured a guilty verdict in May 2019 convicting a defendant of Attempted Use of a Child in a Sexual Performance, Sexual Abuse in the 1st degree, Forcible Touching, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, and Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine in the 3rd degree.
Sarah rejoined the firm in early 2021 and has since handled breach of fiduciary duty claims, oil and gas disputes, e-discovery, and commercial contracting matters.
