Sarah Perez

Sarah Perez is a founding attorney of Perez & Perez Law, PLLC, where she represents personal injury and crime victim clients across Washington and Idaho with an unwavering commitment to effective, efficient, and client-centered advocacy. She is known for delivering results through streamlined case strategies, trial-ready preparation, and a deep understanding of both civil and criminal litigation and courtroom dynamics.

Sarah’s legal practice is grounded in real trial experience. She has successfully litigated a wide range of personal injury cases, securing a seven-figure jury verdict and recovering millions of dollars in settlements for her clients. Her approach is informed by over a decade of experience working on all sides of complex legal matters—defending the accused, advocating for victims, and presiding as a Judge Pro Tem in King County courts. This comprehensive perspective allows her to anticipate defense strategies, navigate the legal system efficiently, and build persuasive cases that resonate with juries and opposing counsel alike.

Before becoming an attorney, Sarah worked as a paralegal and law clerk at The Law Office of Robert Perez for seven years, giving her a deep, inside-out understanding of every stage of litigation. Since becoming licensed, she and her law partner and father, Robert Perez, have sat at counsel table together in numerous jury trials, achieving exceptional outcomes through tireless advocacy and focused teamwork.

Sarah honed her trial skills early on, reaching the semi-finals of a National Trial Advocacy Competition as a member of the Trial Advocacy Honors Board in law school. She later completed the rigorous National Criminal Defense Trial College training program in Macon, Georgia—an intensive experience that further shaped her confidence and competence in the courtroom. She also served as a Legal Intern for the Honorable Judge Ricardo Martinez in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, where she gained invaluable insight into the workings of the federal judiciary and formed lasting relationships with court personnel and judges—an asset she now brings to her clients in federal matters.

Sarah is a proud Eagle Member of the Washington State Association for Justice (WSAJ), the oldest and largest civil justice advocacy organization in the Pacific Northwest. She currently serves on WSAJ’s Board of Governors, where she helps shape the organization’s efforts to protect constitutional rights, promote courtroom access, and hold powerful interests accountable. Her leadership extends to her past role as Chair of the King County Washington Women Lawyers Judicial Evaluation Committee, where she led evaluations of candidates seeking judicial appointments and election—a role reflecting her deep investment in the integrity and quality of Washington’s judiciary.

At Perez & Perez Law, Sarah combines courtroom strength, procedural efficiency, and a fierce dedication to client outcomes. Whether advocating in state or federal court, she stands with victims and injury clients to ensure their voices are heard, their rights protected, and their cases resolved with the urgency and care they deserve.
