About Sara
Biography
Sara Castro’s practice focuses on personal injury, business/corporate law, civil litigation, and defective pharmaceutical and medical devices. In connection with her work on defective medical devices, Sara was recently interviewed by Consumer Reports Magazine for the December 2019 article When Recalls Fail, discussing recalled breast implants that have been linked to a higher risk of cancer called anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
Sara provides personal injury clients with specialized attention and service that larger firms often do not, providing an initial consultation immediately and maintaining contact and updates herself throughout the representation. Sara has experience in a wide range of cases including multi-million-dollar merger and acquisition transactions, sale and purchase of small and large business, and business finance transactions. Her work also includes national mass tort and product liability cases involving dangerous drugs and defective medical devices. She regularly counsels business clients across a broad range of matters to understand and minimize risk and liability while implementing effective business strategies and planning to maximize growth and potential.
Sara is a Board Member of the Animal Welfare League; President of The Sarasota County Bar Association Young Lawyers Division; and Trustee of the Charlotte County Law Library.
Sara's interests include traveling, family time, cooking, movies, yoga, animals, and (if she hasn't done too much reading at work and can keep her eyes open) reading. Her pets include three dogs, two cats, chickens, ducks, and goats.
Sara's community involvement includes being a Board Member of the Animal Welfare League; President of The Sarasota County Bar Association Young Lawyers Division; and Trustee of the Charlotte County Law Library.
