About Sarah
Biography
After I graduated from Vanderbilt Law School, I chose to practice family law due to my genuine concern for those needing representation during what can often be the most stressful and emotional periods of their lives. I now focus my practice on a range of family law matters including: child support, custody, grandparent visitation, alimony, guardianships, adoption, divorce, and father's rights. My undergraduate degree in Psychology, past work in a domestic violence legal clinic, and my internship for the Sex Crimes and Child Abuse division of the Indianapolis Prosecutor's Office have given me a unique insight into some of the more delicate issues related to family law. Because of this background I strive to be a zealous advocate for my clients while also taking the time to listen to their individual needs.

Fathers can get full custody!
I cannot recommend Sarah enough if you are a father wanting your legal rights protected and your children are in the Nashville area.

Highly Recommend!
After having one attorney tell me I really didn't have a case, and another dropping the ball, Sarah picked everything up and got my child custody case moving. She read everything thoroughly, came to mediation with a new parenting plan, and laid everything out with explanations for me and the opposing...

I highly recommend Sarah!
