Info | The daughter of a children’s librarian and a mine manager, Sarah began her career at Colorado Legal Services, serving as a foreclosure prevention attorney for older Coloradoans, young families, and other vulnerable homeowners during the 2007-2009 financial crisis.
Labor Rights Attorney
In 2014, she cofounded a small public interest law firm (now Lowrey Parady Lebsack) focused on representing workers. She is a resource policymakers fighting for the constitutional, civil, and workplace rights of their constituents, and was a primary drafter of the Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, which made Colorado a national leader in pay transparency.
Sarah is routinely ranked among the best lawyers in Colorado by legal industry publications. Her advocacy for her clients has led to a verdict believed to be the largest disability discrimination verdict in Colorado history, the return of hundreds of thousands of dollars of stolen wages to 200 drywall workers on a luxury condo project, a seven-figure settlement for a family injured in a mistaken police raid, and a change in nationwide policy by the Centers for Disease Control leading to coverage for mammograms for low-income trans women, among many other outcomes.
Community Activist
In addition to her work as a public interest lawyer, Sarah is an activist and community leader who delivers meals to immigrants leaving ICE detention and neighbors living without housing, participates in mutual aid groups, and mentors a broad range of young people from recently arrived asylees to high school students to law students. She is a Whittier resident, and she and her spouse Chris are the parents of 4-year-old Imogen and 4-month-old Oscar.
