Sarah Gad is a nationally recognized trial attorney known for taking on high-stakes cases with precision, intensity, and an unwillingness to back down. Since becoming licensed in Minnesota, she has been named a Top Ten Under 40 Criminal Defense Attorney each year. A graduate of the University of Chicago Law School, Sarah made history as the school’s first formerly incarcerated alum. Before she stood in court as counsel, she stood there in handcuffs.

 

Today, she represents people whose freedom, futures, and reputations are on the line, often in the same courtrooms where she once appeared as a defendant.​ That experience shapes the way she practices. Sarah prepares relentlessly, challenges assumptions, and never forgets what is at stake for the person standing beside her. Read Sarah's story in the Washington Post.
