Sarah Reist

At Gordon Law Group, Sarah specialized in domestic and litigation matters. Sarah’s past work for the Sex Crimes and Child Abuse division of the Indianapolis Prosecutor’s Office as well as a domestic violence legal clinic have given her a unique insight into some of the more delicate issues related to family law.

Because of this background she strives to be a zealous advocate for her clients while also building a relationship focused upon individual needs. Sarah received her Juris Doctorate from Vanderbilt University Law School, where she served as student notes editor for Vanderbilt University Journal of Transnational Law, was a member of the Moot Court Board, and judged the Mock Trial and First Amendment competitions.

She was a member of the Law and Business Society, the Legal Aid Society, and co-chair of the Class Gift Fundraising Committee. A native of Indiana, Sarah completed her undergraduate studies at Indiana University, where she graduated with high honors with dual degrees in Criminal Justice and Psychology.

She made the Dean’s List for academic performance, and was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Honors Fraternity. She was also a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, represented the Hutton Honors College on the Greek Honors Council, served on the Criminal Justice External Review Board and as Scholarship Chair and Philanthropy Treasurer for her sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha.
