Sarah E Fudge

Born in Springfield, my family spent time in Kansas, Colorado, and Southern California before settling in the Portland area while I was in high school. I received my undergraduate degree from Oregon State University (Go Beavs!) and then headed to Spokane, Washington to pursue my law degree at Gonzaga University. While in law school, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Florence, Italy; help organize and volunteer with spring break service trips in the Dominican Republic and New Orleans; and extern for the Hon. Fred Van Sickle at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. Graduation from law school brought me back to Oregon and I eventually settled in the Eugene/Springfield area.

My legal experiences have been varied, including: clerking for the Hon. Karsten H. Rasmussen and Hon. Cynthia D. Carlson at Lane County Circuit Court; serving as the probate commissioner at Lane County Circuit Court; and working in private practice. As a result of my time as the probate commissioner, I have a breadth of knowledge about probate administration and am able to share that knowledge with my clients as they navigate through administration of an estate. Working in private practice has expanded my base of knowledge and experience to be able to assist clients with estate planning, business transactions, and real estate matters in addition to estate and trust administrations. 

I relish the opportunity to use my knowledge and experience for the benefit of my clients and to provide personal and compassionate counsel as clients navigate through legal matters. 

Away from the office, you’re most likely to find me hiking, watching sporting events, trying to figure out the day's Wordle (still waiting for five green squares to show up after a first guess!), or spending time with family and friends.
