About Maggie L.
Maggie L. Sadler earned her law degree from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law after completing a Bachelor of Arts at Butler University. She arrived at law school prepared to work hard. The curriculum and practical training there shaped how she approaches problems in the courtroom and at the negotiating table.
After law school Sadler entered private practice. She is a lawyer at Cohen & Malad, LLP, where she has built a practice grounded in courtroom procedure and case management. She is admitted to the Indiana bar and to the United States District Courts for both the Southern and Northern Districts of Indiana, which makes her credentialed to handle matters that move beyond state court dockets into the federal system.
Her work at Cohen & Malad centers on litigation. She manages discovery, drafts motions, prepares witnesses, and argues before judges and juries when cases progress to trial. The day-to-day work combines detailed document review with strategic decisions about timing and posture. She often balances the demands of litigation schedules with the practical needs of clients who are navigating complex legal disputes.
Being admitted in multiple federal districts means Sadler regularly engages with differing local rules and practices. She files pleadings and briefs under the procedures required by each court and appears for hearings in both the Northern and Southern districts. That federal experience complements her state-court work and informs how she plans cases from early stages through resolution.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing for hearings and attentive to case deadlines. In conferences she focuses on the facts and the law, and she aims to present arguments clearly and efficiently. Her preparation often emphasizes practical solutions that can move a case forward while preserving client rights and options.
Outside courtrooms, Sadler’s training and litigation experience guide how she counsels clients on risk assessment and potential outcomes. She evaluates procedural choices and maps litigation paths in plain terms so clients can make informed decisions. She maintains an active practice at Cohen & Malad, LLP, where she handles litigation matters in both state and federal courts.
