Additionally, during law school, Sarah took an active role in the clinics offered at SMU.  She began as a student in the Child Advocacy Clinic, and was selected to serve as Chief in that clinic the following semester, giving her even more experience in navigating custody and guardian ad litem situations.  She also clerked at a firm specializing in civil litigation for a year and a half.  She knew she wanted to practice criminal law after an internship with the Dallas District Attorney’s Office.  After graduating from law school, she began her career in criminal defense work, becoming an associate at Rosenthal & Wadas in McKinney, Texas, where she practiced until she moved to Shreveport, where she worked as an associate at Elton B. Richey & Associates.  Together with Katherine Gilmer, Sarah then opened Gilmer & Giglio, LLC as partner, where she now works..

I have practiced law since 1969. I started with a small general practice law firm. I then moved to the DA's office as an assistant DA where I tried hundreds of criminal cases. Then I was hired to run the first fulltime Public Defender's office (1976-1978). At the Public Defender's office I defended hundreds of people who were charged with a crime. I handled every kind of case from First Degree Murder to Misdemeanor traffic violations. In 1978 I ran for Caddo Parish District Attorney and was elected. I served as DA for 30 years which is five 6 year terms. Upon retirement I went into private practice and now limit my practice to criminal defense at the Law Office of Stroud, Carmouche & Buckle. I have a AV Preeminent Rating with Martindale-Hubbell. DWI/DUI and DRUG charges are the area where I spend most of my time.
