Sarah identified early on that she had a passion for representing injured plaintiffs, and this has been the singular focus of her legal career. As a law student, she trained under some of the area’s best catastrophic injury lawyers. She then spent two years working as an attorney law clerk in Philadelphia’s civil trial court system. She went on to a successful career representing plaintiffs across the country in mass tort and class action cases, taking on some of America’s largest corporations and law firms.

In 2019, Sarah joined the exceptional team at Kolsby Gordon Robin & Shore to focus her practice on representing people in her hometown of Philadelphia and the surrounding counties. Her range of experience from an early age gives Sarah an edge as an advocate for individuals and families. The driving forces in Sarah’s practice are her clients’ needs and her love for the art of advocacy. She also draws from her life experiences as a wife and mother of two young boys.

Outside the office, Sarah has established herself as a leader in the legal community through her work with legal organizations such as the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association, the Philadelphia Bar Association, the American Association for Justice.

Her work has led to case results including $ 5.3 million for a women paralyzed in a truck collision, $ 1.95 million in a motor vehicle case, $ 1.85 million in policy limits in a death case, $ 895,000 in an orthopaedic surgery malpractice case, and $ 800,000 for a worker injured by a defective product.

Previously, Sarah was an attorney at the Pennsylvania-based law firm of Pogust Braslow & Millrood, LLC, where she represented plaintiffs across the country in a variety of complex matters, with an emphasis on claims against pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. She was involved in achieving millions of dollars in confidential settlements for those harmed by dangerous drugs and medical devices. In 2018, she worked with an affiliated law firm on a nationwide antitrust litigation against the country’s two leading providers of car dealership management systems, which resulted in a $ 29.5 million partial settlement. She also played a key role in litigating class actions under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Another highlight of Sarah’s legal career was her first attorney position as a judicial clerk for the Honorable Arnold L. New in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.

She assisted in adjudicating thousands of personal injury claims brought against pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and sellers of asbestos-containing products.
