Biography
“I have always been a strong proponent of access to justice and I love being able to provide that to those who have suffered financially, due to injury or disability, through my own practice. I consider it essential to inform clients of their rights to compensation under our complex insurance system, relieve them of many of the stresses involved in the process, and to obtain excellent results for them in a timely and cost-effective manner.”
Sarah was born and raised in London, Ontario and has been a proud member of the London bar for her entire career, serving clients throughout Ontario. Sarah obtained her B.A. in Political Science and Philosophy from Western University in 2004, then obtained her LL.B. from the University of Manitoba in 2007. Sarah articled at a large general-practice firm in London. She was called to the bar in 2008 and then practiced for 13 years at a well-respected boutique litigation firm in London before joining McKenzie Lake’s Personal Injury Group in June 2021.
Throughout her career, Sarah’s practice has focused on motor vehicle accident, occupier’s liability and disability claims. She has also represented numerous individuals in claims against their employers for wrongful or constructive dismissal, and often in claims where disability is an intersecting factor. For the first 9 years of her career, Sarah also acted for insurance companies, which helps her when making strategic and tactical decisions in advocating for individuals.
Sarah has been a member of several charitable boards and continues to support those causes that are near and dear to her heart, especially SARI Therapeutic Riding. She herself has been a horse person since childhood and had been an avid show jumping competitor for more than 20 years. More recently, Sarah and her husband dedicate most of their spare time to supporting the extracurricular pursuits of their 2 young children.
Effective July 1, 2021 – My maximum contingency fee rate for most personal injury cases is 30% except for medical/dental/professional malpractice cases which would have a maximum rate of 40%.
