Since joining Murray Law Group, Sarah has expanded her practice to include construction defect litigation, condominium and homeowners association matters, professional liability, errors and omissions (E&O), and professional negligence claims.

Sarah's experience across these complementary areas of law allows her to approach complex disputes with a broader understanding of the legal, contractual, and practical issues that can affect her clients' rights and available remedies.
