An experienced litigator and trial attorney, Sarah helps clients navigate difficult matters with practical judgment, careful preparation, and a results-oriented approach. Her practice includes civil and commercial litigation, insurance defense, including bad faith and coverage matters, premises liability, professional liability, real estate disputes, product liability, commercial and residential landlord-tenant matters, consumer protection claims, and other complex tort and business matters. Lawsuits are often disruptive, expensive, and stressful for all involved. With that knowledge, Sarah takes a practical and detail-oriented approach to every matter she handles. Clients routinely rely on Sarah for direct advice, thoughtful risk assessment, and efficient case strategy aligned with both the legal issues and the client’s broader objectives. She works closely with insurers, businesses, financial institutions, property owners, professionals, organizations, and individuals to evaluate risk, avoid unnecessary litigation where possible, and effectively represent their interests when litigation cannot be avoided. Effective advocacy begins with understanding the client, the facts, and the real-world context behind the dispute. By taking the time to understand each client’s objectives and concerns, Sarah develops strategies that are not only legally sound, but also practical and aligned with each client’s business or personal goals. Known as a "straight-shooter," clients value Sarah's honesty, ability to understand the facts, organize complex issues, and effectively communicate their story - many times when a first impression can set the tone for an entire case. Outside the office, Sarah is a Cincinnati sports fan, Bengals season-ticket holder, lifelong Reds fan, and proud University of Kentucky graduate. She enjoys traveling, golfing, spending time with family, coaching her niece's soccer team, and walking her dog, Sawyer.
