About Sabra M.
Sabra M. Janko trained as both a lawyer and a public administrator. She earned a B.A. in Behavioral Science from The University of Maryland and a J.D. from the University of Maryland School of Law in 1998. She returned to academic study later in her career, completing an LL.M. in Military Law at The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School in 2009 and an M.P.A. in Public Administration from the University of Oklahoma.
Her early legal work included a clerkship for Judge Harold Cushenberry at the Superior Court of the District of Columbia after law school. Not long after, she joined the United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps. That service followed time in the enlisted ranks, and much of her work in uniform touched on military justice and the specialized needs of service members.
After military service, Janko moved between public service and nonprofit work. In 2015 she worked with Legal Services of the Hudson Valley on a program for veterans and military families. In 2018 she served as a project lawyer for the Colorado Bar Association’s Federal Pro Se Project. In 2020 she took a temporary role with the U.S. Small Business Administration on a disaster response project. She also spent a year teaching at the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2012.
In 2016 she established Janko Family Law Solutions and later operated under the name Janko Family Law. Her practice has included family law representation and mediation. She is accredited by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and holds mediator certification through the Mares-Dixon program with the Colorado Bar Association. The Colorado Supreme Court has qualified her as a Child and Family Investigator.
Janko is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, and in multiple state bars including Colorado, Maryland, and New York. She maintains memberships in several professional groups: the Colorado Bar Association, Denver Bar Association, Colorado Women’s Bar Association, El Paso County Bar Association, The Judge Advocates Association, and the Mediation Association of Colorado. She volunteers as a mediator with Jefferson County Mediation Services and serves as lead lawyer and coordinator for the Arapahoe County Bar Association Veterans Legal Clinic. She has served as chair of the Family Law Section of the El Paso County Bar Association since 2023.
Her record ties military law, veterans’ issues, and family law. She splits time between mediation, family court work, and veterans’ benefits matters in her current private practice at Janko Family Law, where she handles family law cases, mediation, and legal services for veterans.
