About Sarah A
Sarah A Nolan built a legal path that begins in Chicago classrooms and runs through courtrooms and crisis lines. She studied history and science as an undergraduate before turning to law. The result is a practical background and an early exposure to public-service work.
Nolan earned a Bachelor of Arts from Loyola University Chicago in 2005. She returned to school for a law degree and received her J.D. from DePaul College of Law in 2009, where she pursued coursework in family law. DePaul also lists her as holding a family law certification from its program.
Her earliest positions in the legal field were support roles. In 2006 she worked as a legal assistant at the Law Office of Dorothy A. Styx. Two years later she joined Marcia S. Lipkin, P.C. in another legal assistant role. Before law school she volunteered on a crisis line for a domestic violence hotline run by Between Friends in 2002. Those experiences exposed her to client intake, case preparation and the human side of contested family matters.
Nolan is licensed to practice in Illinois and is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Since 2009 she has maintained memberships in local bar groups, including the Chicago Bar Association and the Northwest Suburban Bar Association. The memberships track with her move from legal assistant work into practicing law after law school.
Her career has centered on family law. The DePaul family law coursework and the certification are reflected in the cases she handles. Colleagues describe her as methodical in courtroom preparation and attentive in client meetings. She has combined courtroom filings and negotiation work in private practice settings.
Nolan now works at Suburban Law Group, LLC. There she handles family law matters, drawing on years of early hands-on experience and formal legal training. Her practice involves advising clients, preparing filings and appearing in court where required.
She continues to participate in bar activities around Chicago and the northwest suburbs. That involvement keeps her connected to recent procedural developments and local court practices. Her current practice is family law.
