Sara began her law career as an assistant district attorney with the El Paso County, Texas District Attorney's Office.  After almost three years of prosecuting, she switched sides and joined the El Paso County Public Defender's Office. Though she loved her work as a deputy public defender, in 2016, Sara became a solo practitioner with the goal of continuing to advocate for El Paso's accused as an experienced trial lawyer who cares for her clients, works hard, and gets results. Sara has also served as an associate municipal judge, a full-time jail magistrate judge, and is currently a part-time jail magistrate judge.
