also known as Sarah Colbach
I am a full time personal injury arbitrator and mediator. During the 16 years I split evenly as a plaintiff's side and a defense side personal injury attorney, I served as an arbitrator or mediator countless times, and I mediated or arbitrated hundreds of my own cases. I understand personal injury law from both sides, and I bring a balanced approach to case resolution.

Accessible and communicative
I had to fire my first attorney and then hired Sarah. She quickly came up to speed by knowing the proper procedures and laws. She quickly negotiated an acceptable settlement. She was very responsive to my questions and concerns, very professional, and easy to communicate with. Everything you want...

Hire a Pro - Hire Sarah!
I've got to tell you about Sarah Nelson... After being injured in a car accident and being bullied by the other person's insurance I brought on Sarah. She quickly resolved any issues and informed me of my rights as an injured party. In a day and age where integrity and professionalism rarely coincide...
"I endorse this lawyer. Sarah is a dedicated, hard working attorney who is well liked in the community. I would not hesitate to refer to her."
"Sarah earned her reputation for being a savvy and tenacious trial attorney. If you are in need of a personal injury attorney -- look no further than hiring Sarah Nelson to take your case. Let her put her know-how and years of trial experience to work for you. Excellent reputation to match her excellent legal skills."
"Sarah is tenacious, intelligent and effective. She is a great trial attorney and a strong advocate for her clients."
"Sarah is a stellar attorney. While there are many stellar personal injury attorneys, there are very few who have quality experience working cases from both sides of the bar: Sarah's early experience defending injury cases means that she has both a built-in credibility with defense attorneys and a real insight into the tactics they will try to use. That invaluable experience is sure to translate into better results for her clients for the rest of her career representing injured clients."
"I've known Sarah since law school. She is a great advocate who is dedicated to recovery for her personal injury clients. I refer her my personal injury cases without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Sarah is a great mediator and/or arbitrator. She is fair and works hard to come to the right decision in each case."
"I endorse this lawyer. Sarah is the kind of personal injury lawyer I would hire for myself if I ever needed one (knock on wood). She's always very personable and professional, and aggressive when it counts. She's been on both sides of the fight representing plaintiffs and defendants and knows the tricks the insurance companies will try to employ against the injured person. I highly recommend Sarah when that time comes you find yourself in need of a personal injury lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I grant you, she's my wife, but she's a talented and dedicated car accident and personal injury lawyer."
"I had the pleasure of working with Sarah and have known her since 2006. She is a capable and competent litigator and works diligently for her clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Her AVVO answers demonstrate that she has a superior knowledge of complex legal issues."
"I know Sarah to be a smart, diligent, highly effective attorney for her clients, and I would eagerly recommend her to anyone seeking representation."
"I have had the opportunity to work with Sarah Nelson and can not say enough good things about her. She has been on both sides, plaintiff and defense so she knows exactly how to deal with insurance companies. Unlike many personal injury attorneys, she knows her way around a courtroom and is not afraid to try a case. I highly recommend her to anyone who has been injured."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Sarah for years to be a smart, aggressive and highly effective trial attorney."
"I have worked with Sarah for several years, first as opposing counsel and more recently as an arbitrator and mediator. He has first rate trial skills and, more importantly, is smart, practical and good with people. I heartily endorse her."
