Sarah Starkey’s fluency in Spanish has played an important role in growing her family law practice and helping the
Hispanic community. She dedicates more time to pro bono work than any other attorney in her office, and it is her sincere
desire to help others that drives her.
In 2012, I’d like to
enjoy my friends and family to the fullest. While hard work is rewarding, the relationships with the people in our lives
are what matter most.
The best advice I could give a recent law school graduate is
to be proud of your profession, but stay grounded.
The three words that best describe me are
compassionate, unfiltered and motivated.
My long-term career goal is
to establish a reputation as a successful attorney and friend to my colleagues.
If I weren’t an attorney, I’d be
una profesora de Espanol.
My escape from work is
music, from listening to old favorites like Van Morrison and Eric Clapton, to exploring new artists like Gotye and Bon
Iver.
My mentor has taught me
that you will continue to learn every day of your career and that a positive reputation amongst your peers is key.
In the movie about my life,
Keri Russell would play me. Aside from being the star of my favorite show of all time, “Felicity,”
and having naturally curly hair, she seems genuine and choosy about the type of work she does.

I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
