About Sarah
Sarah Simkin earned her law degree from Boston University School of Law in 2015 after completing an undergraduate degree at the University of Pittsburgh in 2012. At Boston University she studied Litigation and Dispute Resolution, building coursework and practical training around courtroom procedure, advocacy and settlement techniques. Her undergraduate work combined political science with non‑fiction writing, a pairing that informed both her legal analysis and her writing style in practice.
After law school Simkin entered practice in the mid‑2010s and has since maintained a practice across state lines. She is admitted to the bars of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Early in her career she handled litigated matters and participated in client counseling, drawing on trial skills developed during law school clinics and moot court experiences. Over time she expanded her practical responsibilities to include case strategy, pleadings and managing discovery in contested matters.
Her background in litigation and dispute resolution shapes how she approaches cases. She prepares cases for trial and also works on negotiated resolutions when that serves a client’s interest. Colleagues describe her as a careful writer who pays attention to fact development and procedural detail. Her training in non‑fiction writing shows up in briefs and motions that aim for clarity. She balances written advocacy with courtroom preparation, arguing motions and participating in hearings when necessary.
Simkin practices in Pennsylvania and West Virginia and handles matters that require litigation skills and dispute management. She works with clients on contested matters and on settlement discussions, moving between pleadings, discovery and courtroom proceedings as a case requires. Her work remains rooted in the litigation and dispute resolution education she received at Boston University School of Law.
She currently practices law in both Pennsylvania and West Virginia and focuses her work on litigation and dispute resolution in those jurisdictions.
