Sarah Spangler earned her undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center. She began her career with a year and a half as an associate at a Washington, DC firm before turning toward the area of law that had captured her interest all along: estate planning. The decision was less a change of direction than a return to something she had wanted to do for a long time.

Her instinct for that work traces back to the piedmont of North Carolina, where she grew up homeschooled as the youngest of six children. A household of that size is its own education in advocacy, communication, and the quiet dynamics that shape every family relationship. As her parents balanced the needs of six children, Sarah learned to speak up for herself without straining the bonds around her, a balance of candor and care that still defines how she counsels clients today.

That upbringing gave Sarah a genuine appreciation for the blend of technical precision and personal counseling that defines a trusts and estates practice. She is drawn to the human side of the work, helping individuals and families build thoughtful plans that reflect their values and goals rather than a generic template. Her aim is to make a process many people find daunting feel approachable, so clients walk away with confidence and real peace of mind about the future.
