Sarah Roberge 

Sarah Roberge is an associate at Brannock Berman & Seider.  In her first year at the firm, Sarah briefed and argued a case at the Fifth District Court of Appeal, winning a reversal for her client on criminal wiretapping charges in a precedent-setting opinion.  Sarah works on a wide range of appellate matters.

Before joining the firm, Sarah was an Assistant Public Defender for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit. In her year at the Public Defender’s office, Sarah drafted and argued motions, handled evidentiary hearings, and first-chaired a trial.

Sarah’s first job after graduating college was as a high school English teacher. In that role, she learned the importance of good writing and clear communication. Later, she worked at a large community association management firm, where she trained association board members and managed operations for several communities. Sarah then attended law school, on a full scholarship, while continuing to work part-time. During law school, Sarah received 14 book awards, interned at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida, and ultimately graduated in the top 1% of her class.
