About Sarah
Sarah Turner practices law in Tennessee, combining litigation experience with a credential in mediation. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2003 and completed her Juris Doctor at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law in 2010.
Turner began her legal career shortly after law school. In 2010 she joined Corbin Johnson, PLLC where she worked as a lawyer. That initial role exposed her to the daily demands of client representation and court work. In 2012 she moved to Cordell & Cordell, PC as an associate lawyer, joining a firm known for handling family law matters and related litigation. The experience there broadened her courtroom skills and deepened her familiarity with dispute resolution strategies.
In 2014 Turner took a position at Leitner, Williams, Dooley, & Napolitan, PLLC. She handled a range of cases and took on more responsibility for case development and client counseling. Two years later she opened her own practice. Since 2016 she has operated the Law & Mediation Office of Sarah Turner, overseeing both legal representation and mediation services.
Turner holds a mediation certification from the Tennessee Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission. That credential informs her approach to many family and civil matters. She applies mediation techniques alongside traditional advocacy. The goal is often to find a resolution that avoids prolonged litigation when circumstances allow.
Professional affiliations run through much of her career. She has been a member of the Memphis Bar Association and the Tennessee Bar Association since 2011. She also joined the Memphis Collaborative Alliance in 2013 and remains an active member. These memberships reflect an ongoing engagement with local legal networks and collaborative practice alternatives.
Colleagues describe Turner as practical and steady in the courtroom and at the mediation table. She balances case preparation with efforts to identify workable solutions for clients. Her practice blends representation in contested matters with mediated agreements where appropriate.
Turner maintains an active practice through her firm, offering litigation services and mediated dispute resolution for clients in Tennessee. Her current practice focuses on family law, mediation, and related civil matters.
