Sara Peters
Sara obtained her undergraduate degree summa cum laude from UCLA, with highest honors in Philosophy (Logic emphasis) and Middle Eastern Studies. While at UCLA she competed in speech and parliamentary debate, worked with the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, and volunteered with BRITE, serving incarcerated youth. At the Walkup Firm, Sara prosecutes wrongful death cases for families of victims of vehicular negligence, premises liability, medical negligence, flawed products, and elder abuse. She understands how immensely personal the loss of life is, and uses her experience and skills to paint (for juries, judges and arbitrators) a unique and personal picture of the deceased victim - and the gap left in the lives of those left behind. In her spare time, Sara coaches law school mock trial teams and serves as Co-Director of ABC (Attorneys Bettering the Community) a local nonprofit composed of attorneys who want to volunteer in a hands-on way. She is an active member of CAOC (Consumer Attorneys of California), SFTLA (San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association), and the AAJ (American Association for Justice). Exemplar Verdicts and Settlements
