My legal career began long before I went to law school.  As a daughter of a prominent New Orleans litigator, I have been around the law my whole life.  I have worked for a law firm in one capacity or another since I was an intern in high school. After getting my bachelors at LSU, I went from a legal assistant and paralegal to an associate attorney in October, 2014. I began attending and assisting at trials in my teens, coming to understand the degree of preparation and attention to detail that marks me as a lawyer today.

In 2018, I expanded her practice to include Divorce and Family Law as well as simple Estate Planning. For my outstanding work in the Medical Malpractice arena, I have been recognized by the American Institute of Legal Advocates as a Rising Star in personal injury. I am a fierce and loyal advocate for my clients.  My true passion lies in helping those who need it the most.

In 2019, I opened my own practice with my father and mentor.  Its the honor of my career thus far.

I've worked with Sarah several times and she has been nothing but helpful and professional. She really takes the time to be thorough and answer all of my questions. I've had nothing but great results and would highly recommend her for her services!

Sarah went above and beyond what typical attorneys often do. She knows what she is doing and did a thorough job explaining everything. She took time out of her personal day when I had questions and showed she actually cared. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Plaintiff Attorney for Unisured Motorists Claim
We were referred to Sarah Wagar Hickman, and we live in New Orleans. She met us at the coffee shop in Metairie, and she was available to email and text. I highly recommend her to you. She got our full uninsured motorists amount with $5,000.00 more for medicals. She helped my mom that was 75 years old. If we need an attorney in the future, I would use her firm again. She always returned calls and emails promptly. You will be impressed with her and her team. She is professional, and her team is also professional. You will not be disappointed! She felt like family.

Amazing!
Sarah takes her time to listen to what her clients needs are. She’s supportive, understanding and highly educated. I felt her firm direct approach with the other party to be reassuring and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance!

Excellent attorney who cares about her clients!
Sarah took the time to listen to our case and was very responsive throughout the entire process. Unlike other attorneys who don't personally care about their clients, you could tell Sarah actually did. She was not just in it to make money, she wanted to make the situation right. Without her help we would not have been able to continue our normal lives, but thanks to her, we were!

Definitely recommend!
I interviewed many attorneys for my specific situation. I felt like with most of them I was going to be just a number or they didn’t really care about what happened to me. When I met with Sarah I instantly felt like she was passionate about getting justice for me. She was the only person I had met with that was outraged at what I had been through and wanted to help me and stick it out with me to get justice! We are still working together as my case is ongoing but I could not be more happier with my selection for an attorney!

Client
I called Ms Hickman with a desperate plea for legal help with a very short timeline. After working with an insurance company for 12 months for damages caused by their insured driver, they decided not to come to an agreement with me only hours before state deadlines. I was only asking for fair compensation, but they chose to pay nothing to me by the end of that day. I made one call and that was to Ms Hickman. I knew she would have the knowledge to bring them to task. She far exceeded my ability to deal with legal issues. She stood up for fair compensation for me and i will hire her again.
