Federal crime lawyer | Jan 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Sara is an expert criminal defense attorney and has extensive experience handling federal criminal trials and appeals. A review of her reported decisions demonstrates her superior skills in a courtroom but some of her best work is done behind the scenes. Sara negotiates fair deals with prosecutors and can make a compelling sentencing argument to a judge, often times allowing clients to avoid a trial all together. Overall her focus is on helping her clients make informed decisions and understand a life-altering process."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
