Shortly after Sarah Rose became an attorney, she was injured in an auto accident and sought the services of Allen & Allen. Though she wasn’t practicing personal injury law at the time, the experience left a strong impression.. As an attorney working for a major insurance company on the defense side, she witnessed plaintiffs being treated unfairly by their own insurance companies, to whom they had paid thousands of dollars for protection. Even as she worked for the defense, she remembered her experience as a plaintiff and decided to switch to personal injury law.. Sarah understands how imperative it is to have competent representation, and is passionate about serving clients when they are at their most vulnerable. She brings to the firm a breadth of experience – not only in insurance defense, but family law and analyzing documents for mass tort cases..
