About Sarah W
Sarah W Hickman earned her law degree from Loyola University New Orleans, completing a J.D. in 2014 after intensive study in civil law. She came out of law school with classroom training in the civil law tradition that shapes much of Louisiana practice. Her academic record points to an early interest in disputes and the structures that resolve them.
She moved into private practice and built a steady career at Wagar Hickman, LLC. Public records list her office there. Over the years she has handled matters that draw on the technical distinctions of civil law and on practical courtroom experience. Colleagues describe her courtroom manner as composed and direct.
Hickman maintains current membership in professional legal organizations. She keeps an active connection to the bar and to peer networks. Those memberships provide regular contact with other lawyers and continuing legal education opportunities, which she uses to keep her skills current.
Her training in civil law informs the tasks she takes on. That background affects how she approaches statutory interpretation, contracts, and procedural questions. She pays close attention to the written record and to the briefing that supports a client’s position. In practice she pairs analytical work with the kind of plainspoken advocacy that judges and opposing counsel can rely on.
Clients and fellow lawyers who have worked with her note a practical approach grounded in law school coursework and courtroom experience. She prefers clear options laid out in writing. She favors practical solutions where possible and fuller litigation preparation where necessary. This balance allows her to adapt to different cases without losing sight of the legal issues that matter most.
Today she is a lawyer at Wagar Hickman, LLC. Her work draws on the civil law training she received at Loyola University New Orleans and on the professional memberships she maintains. She continues to represent clients from the firm’s office, concentrating on civil law matters in her current practice.
