Featured Attorney
Sarah L. Shore
I am an experienced appellate attorney. I litigate a wide variety of civil cases in state and federal courts of appeal, in areas including constitutional challenges, state and federal administrative law, torts, contracts, and probate law. I also provide brief-writing, oral argument, and strategic support for complex and high-risk litigation. Apart from litigation, I am outside general counsel for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, and I counsel other non-profit local and national organizations on governance, policy, contract, and regulatory compliance matters. I also represent healthcare professionals in licensing proceedings.
Outside of my work, I enjoy hiking and running in the Southwest, poetry, music, dancing, and cooking.
