Meet Sabrina

Associate Attorney for Modern Legal

Member of South Park

Although I spent most of my childhood dreaming of a career in medicine, the trajectory of my professional future shifted the summer after my freshman year of college. I had just gotten out of an abusive relationship and was excited about starting over and moving on. However, as is common for many domestic survivors, ending the relationship came with consequences. My abuser’s actions continued to escalate until it got to the point that I needed to hire an attorney and take legal action.

The next several years were filled balancing schoolwork with interviews, legal paperwork, and court hearings – a challenge I would have struggled to face alone. My attorney guided me through each stage of the process, providing me with the knowledge to make informed decisions and supporting me along the way. Working with my attorney showed me just how valuable it is to have an advocate in your corner, and it was through this experience that I realized I wanted to pursue a legal career.

Once in law school, I quickly discovered my passion for family law. It not only allowed me to utilize my creative problem-solving skills, but it also provided me with the opportunity to connect with clients and make a positive impact. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each client and helping them find the best solution for their family and unique circumstance.

I know firsthand how overwhelming it is to navigate the legal system while simultaneously enduring an incredibly vulnerable and emotional time. I remember often feeling drained, frustrated, and, at times, disheartened during the legal process. However, when I reflect on those years today, I feel completely different: those memories serve as a reminder of my tenacity and resilience, and led me to where I am today. There is a sense of empowerment that follows fighting for your rights and coming out the other side. Now, as an attorney, I want to make sure each of my clients can experience that feeling as well.
