Current Practice and Background

Sadie is known for her skillful handling of complex financial issues and her compassionate handling of high-conflict custody matters, and domestic violence issues. As a Certified Family Law Specialist by the California Board of Legal Specialization, Sadie has experience working with a wide range of clients – from executives, entrepreneurs, sole proprietors of closely-held corporations, as well as the primary caretaker stay-at-home “out” spouses. Sadie has litigated the full spectrum of disputes that arise in high-net-worth divorces, complex litigation, and high-conflict custody matters, throughout California from the Bay Area to Los Angeles.

Sadie works directly with her clients to determine the most effective approach for reaching their goals which is consistent with their best interests. Whether the process is relatively routine or highly complex, Sadie works discreetly and proactively to help her clients make educated decisions about their matters. While she understands that every client’s situation is unique and highly personal, Sadie leverages her extensive background, practicing family law exclusively since 2013 and her earlier background in criminal law, to help her clients achieve their best outcomes.

In her spare time, Sadie enjoys running, hiking, and spending time with her wife, Kelin, and their two dogs Nicholas, the Cavapoo, and Gwen, the Cavachon.
