Born and raised in Albany, New York, Sarah Berben began her professional journey in healthcare, earning her nursing degree in 2007. Her passion for helping others initially led her to the medical field, where she provided direct patient care, assisted physicians with procedures, and ensured that patients received the support and attention they needed. However, in 2020, Sarah discovered a new calling in the legal field while working for a local town court. This experience ignited her interest in the legal system and inspired her transition into a law firm setting.

Since then, Sarah has built a well-rounded and diverse legal background, assisting attorneys across multiple practice areas, including traffic and criminal law, federal employment, security clearance, military law, estate planning, and surrogacy. She is highly skilled in case management, legal document preparation, and client relations, ensuring that every client receives the support and guidance they need during complex legal matters. Sarah is proficient in legal software, e-filing systems, and administrative operations, making her an invaluable asset in keeping legal teams organized and efficient.

Whether she’s lending a compassionate ear, providing reassurance, or helping navigate the legal process from start to finish, her dedication to client support is unwavering. She thrives in fast-paced environments, managing multiple cases and responsibilities while maintaining her commitment to excellence.

Beyond her professional life, Sarah enjoys spending time outdoors and creating lasting memories with her daughter, Makayla, her partner, Dennis, and her close-knit family and friends. She believes in the power of connection, both in her personal and professional life, and finds fulfillment in knowing she has made a difference when people need it most.

Why do I do what I do?
I do what I do because I believe everyone deserves support and guidance during life’s most challenging moments. Having started my career in healthcare, I learned the importance of compassion, attention to detail, and advocacy—qualities that naturally carried over into the legal field. I find fulfillment in being a steady presence for clients who may feel overwhelmed, ensuring they feel heard, informed, and supported every step of the way. For me, this work is more than just paperwork and procedures—it’s about making a real difference. Whether I’m assisting attorneys, managing cases, or helping clients navigate difficult situations, I take pride in knowing that my role contributes to justice, clarity, and peace of mind when people need it most.
