Sarah is an attorney working in Keller Rohrback’s complex litigation and commercial litigation groups. She represents clients using a collaborative, thoughtful, and intuitive approach while maintaining a strong moral compass for social justice. Prior to joining Keller Rohrback, she focused on employment and civil rights litigation, including matters of discrimination, sexual harassment, whistleblower retaliation, and disability rights.
Since joining the firm Sarah served on the Oregon Wildfires trial team that secured historic jury verdicts for damages amounting to $220 million for 36 plaintiffs. Sarah has also successfully negotiated contract disputes and represented clients in arbitration and trial proceedings with Keller Rohrback’s commercial litigation group.
Sarah was inspired to go to law school after working in the financial services industry, where she was exposed firsthand, to some of the most predatory industries to consumers. This exposure inspired Sarah to seek a career path dedicated to consumer justice.
During her time at the University of Oregon School of Law, Sarah received many community service awards for her work dedicated to civil rights. Additionally, Sarah actively pursued initiatives in social justice, clerking for organizations such as Disability Rights Oregon and Northwest Workers Justice Project. Sarah was also the only law student across the entire Pacific Region (made up of California, Oregon, and Washington law schools) selected for a Public Interest Award by Equal Justice Works in 2021 for her exemplary commitment to public interest law and pro bono work.
Sarah continues to be highly involved in the Oregon legal community focusing on advancing access to justice through organizations such as the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association (OTLA) and the LGBT Bar Association of Oregon (OGALLA).
When not fighting the good fight, you can find Sarah walking her two rescue chihuahuas, spending time outdoors, rock climbing, and solving sudoku puzzles.
