About Sarah C.
Sarah C. Easter built a steady legal foundation before she ever set foot in a courtroom. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Tennessee in 2004 and completed her Juris Doctor at Tulane University School of Law in 2007. Those years framed her interest in dispute resolution and the practical mechanics of law.
Her professional life is rooted in Tennessee. She joined Easter & DeVore, Lawyers, PLLC and became a partner in 2022. That role followed years of practicing law in the state and marked a move into firm leadership. As partner she shares responsibility for case strategy, client intake and the administrative decisions that shape how the firm operates. She represents clients in matters that intersect family concerns and civil disputes and works alongside colleagues to develop case plans.
Easter is a Rule 31 Listed Family & Civil Mediator under the Tennessee Supreme Court. The credential identifies her as an approved mediator in both family and civil contexts. In mediation sessions she guides parties through structured negotiations, helps clarify legal and practical issues, and works to identify resolutions that reduce the need for protracted litigation. Her work as a mediator complements her litigation and counseling roles and often becomes the primary pathway to resolving disputes.
She maintains memberships in local and state bar organizations, including the Knoxville Bar Association and the Tennessee State Bar. Those affiliations keep her connected to changes in state law and local court procedures. They also provide a forum for continuing education and professional exchange with other Tennessee attorneys and mediators.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparation and attentive in client meetings. She balances courtroom readiness with efforts to resolve disputes outside a trial setting when possible. At the firm she contributes to case evaluation, settlement negotiations and mediation services, and she helps supervise associate attorneys and support staff. Her practice has grown to encompass both private mediation work and representation in related civil and family matters.
She currently practices at Easter & DeVore, Lawyers, PLLC, and her work centers on family and civil mediation and related legal matters.
