For Random Profiles, we randomly pick one of our 95,000-plus attorneys and do a Q&A. We’ve found that every Texas lawyer has an interesting story. Will yours be next?

Best thing about being a lawyer: Solving problems.

What do you think is the biggest challenge facing attorneys today? Balancing work and life.

Favorite saying/quote: “You get what you give, so give good.”

Pet peeve: Unreliability.

Favorite TV program: Orange is the New Black.

Areas of practice: Intellectual Property.

Education: Rice University, B.A. Economics. Pepperdine University School of Law, J.D.

Most important career lesson: Be respectful and courteous to everyone, even opposing counsel. Practicing law is just a job. Your reputation is the most important thing you have as a professional.

If you weren’t an attorney, what profession do you think you would be in? Veterinarian.

What has changed the most technologically or practice wise since you have been licensed? The adoption of e-filing and electronic availability of documents.

Community Involvement: I have served on a committee through the Houston Bar Association (HBA) for the Houston Alumni & Youth Center (HAY Center) for several years and I also serve on the HAY Center Advisory Board. 

HAY Center is near and dear to my heart – the organization is focused on assisting foster youth ages 16-25 in the Houston area, as they age out of foster care. HAY Center provides numerous services to the youth. Through the HBA Committee for the HAY Center, we organize a holiday event for the youth, many of whom have young families, as well as a pre-prom event where youth are given the opportunity to “shop” for their prom outfits– both events are great fun! 

Also, the Houston Young Lawyers Association (HYLA) does a wonderful job with its Adopt-An-Angel program, providing Christmas presents to elementary school children in the Houston area. My sister (also an attorney) and I always look forward to HYLA’s planning activities and serving as Secret Santa.

Sarah is an associate with Wong, Cabello, Lutsch, Rutherford & Brucculeri L.L.P. in Houston.
