Sart is our resident Systems Attorney, blending a sharp legal mind with a knack for optimizing processes. Growing up between Lewiston, Idaho, and Vancouver, Washington, Sart developed a curiosity for systems, whether in law, technology, or the occasional board game.
Sart’s path to law was inspired by a deep-seated belief that legal frameworks can create meaningful change. Early on, Sart saw how ADA accommodations could transform lives, and it sparked a desire to use the law as a tool for positive impact. Family law, in particular, captured their heart through mediation and alternative dispute resolution, helping families find win/win outcomes even in challenging circumstances.
In their work with clients, Sart pairs active listening with strategic planning, ensuring both immediate concerns and long-term goals are addressed. Sart thrives on finding creative solutions and streamlining processes, aiming to make the often-complex legal system more accessible and understandable for everyone.
When Sart’s not tackling legal puzzles, Sart channels their energy into equally dynamic pursuits. Sart is a flow arts enthusiast and even practices fire breathing—safely, of course! Sart’s also a devoted gamer, storyteller, and lover of board games and Magic: The Gathering. Passionate about digital civil rights and privacy, Sart has volunteered at family law clinics and provided free legal help to artists, championing access to knowledge and fair treatment in both the physical and digital world.
Sart lives by a favorite quote from Philip K. Dick: “When two people dream the same dream, it ceases to be an illusion.” It’s a sentiment that captures their approach to law, life, and collaboration—turning shared visions into reality, one thoughtful strategy at a time.
