Sarah Beth currently contracts with the Office of Civil Legal Aid representing youth in dependencies in both Thurston and Lewis Counties. Previously, Sarah Beth practiced in the areas of criminal law, dependency, estate and probate, guardianship, property and real estate, and business law..

Sarah Beth graduated from Seattle University with her J.D. in 2007 and was admitted to the Washington State Bar that same year.. Sarah Beth began her legal career working as a criminal public defender representing indigent persons for both Snohomish County and Kitsap County. Sarah Beth appeared and litigated in municipal, district, and superior courts on misdemeanors and felonies.  During this time Sarah Beth also volunteered with Kitsap County Youth Court; an alternative dispute resolution and education program for local kids, which acted as a peer group sentencing system for juveniles with the option of diversion in criminal cases.. In 2010 Sarah Beth left her home of Washington to follow her fiancée to New Hampshire where Sarah Beth studied and passed the New Hampshire Bar Exam.

Later, Sarah Beth had the opportunity to start working part time for the Patrick Wood Law Office, a general practice law firm that focused in estates, property, and business law. Sarah Beth enjoyed her time at that law firm and decided to solely work for the Patrick Wood Law Office in order to learn new areas of practice outside criminal law.

My name is Nathan John Nielson and I am a proud resident of Tooele County. I was born originally in Stillwater, Oklahoma before my family moved to Vernal, Utah where I attended Uintah High School. It was during high school that I decided I would be an attorney. I had the opportunity to participate in a mock-trial as a defense attorney and won my first case. I received my associate’s degree from Utah State University before I earned my Bachelors of Science from the University of Utah in Political Science.. I returned to my roots in Oklahoma by choosing to attend the University of Oklahoma: College of Law. While there, I spent a semester as a volunteer mediator for the Early Settlement Mediation program. I mediated small claims and real estate cases while observing family and child permanency mediations. I then spent a year working for the Cleveland County District Attorney's Office where I helped prosecute misdemeanors and felonies. I was also awarded the Academic Achievement award in Criminal Law during my studies.. During law school, I took two years off to volunteer in the West Indies and spent time in Suriname, Grenada, St. Vincent, and Trinidad & Tobago. I learned Dutch as part of my service. This was a centering experience which taught me the value of service.. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma, I worked as a law clerk in Beaverton, Oregon for a small firm which specialized in Family and Immigration Law. After passing the bar, I returned to Tooele where I have opened up my own practice. I later accepted employment with the State of Utah as a Guardian ad Litem representing abused and neglected children in Carbon and Emery Counties.

I am a solo practitioner with a BA in Literature from Marlboro College, a PhD in Social Thought from The University of Chicago, and a JD with a public interest certificate from Loyola University Chicago School of Law. I was trained in child welfare law and parent defense by Diane Redleaf and Melissa Staas at the Family Defense Center (FDC) where I worked as a clerk during law school and a post-graduation litigation fellow sponsored by Loyola University and FDC. I was barred in 2014 and started my own firm in January of 2015. During the pandemic the normalization of online meetings and hearings allowed me to expand my practice from Cook County north to the border, south to Kankakee, and west to Peoria. Don't hesitate to give me a call even if you live far from Cook County--remote legal work is here to stay and I am happy to represent clients from any part of the state via Zoom meetings, WebEx hearings, and the assistance of local counsel.. When not working I am an avid reader of contemporary fiction and history, and watcher of foreign crime dramas and almost any cooking show. My parents report that I've been fascinated by cooking shows since I was a toddler. (They also report that my first word was "why?" followed closely by "no," which I'm sure was excellent preparation for my legal career.) I consider myself a Chicagoan, having lived here since 2002 when I moved here from rural New England to attend grad school. I have worked extensively with the National Lawyers' Guild (NLG) protecting the rights of protesters and spent several months working with migrants on the Mexican side of the border and traveling in Colombia as part of an NLG Human Rights Delegation. I'm still working to improve my Spanish (it gets harder as you get older!) and I spend a lot of time playing with my two feline "law clerks," Bordy and Ripper (after Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert), who enjoy sitting on whatever I'm trying to work on at the moment.
