Sarah Sanchez

Sarah Sanchez is an attorney with Costello Valente Group, P.C. in Brattleboro, Vermont. She concentrates on personal injury litigation, criminal law, and civil litigation, with personal injury representing the largest share of her current practice. She first joined the firm as a legal assistant in 2005 and later qualified for admission through Vermont’s Law Office Study program. She was admitted to the Vermont bar in 2020.

Sarah earned a B.A. in Business Administration from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She previously completed an associate degree in liberal studies at Community College of Vermont. Rather than attending law school, she completed Vermont’s Law Office Study program while working in the legal field, passed the bar examination, and became a licensed Vermont attorney. Her path combined formal college education with supervised legal study and practical law-office experience.

Sarah developed her legal career inside the firm where she had worked as a legal assistant. Her practice now focuses primarily on personal injury cases, with additional criminal and civil litigation. She manages the firm while handling her own cases, with personal injury as her main area of practice. Her work therefore combines client representation, litigation, and law-firm management responsibilities.

Sarah Sanchez is a member of the Vermont Bar Association and Vermont Association for Justice and has served as past chair of TriPark Cooperative Housing. Her professional background reflects a nontraditional route to bar admission, extensive experience within the same Brattleboro firm, and a practice centered on helping clients with personal injury claims while maintaining additional criminal and civil litigation work.
