Sarah Wagar Hickman

Sarah’s legal career began well before law school. From her high school days as an intern, Sarah spent time in courtrooms and attended trials alongside her father, sparking a passion for law that has driven her ever since. While pursuing her undergraduate degree at LSU and attending Loyola University College of Law, she worked her way up from legal assistant to paralegal, then law clerk, ultimately becoming an associate attorney in October 2014.

This early exposure to courtroom proceedings provided Sarah with unparalleled expertise in trial advocacy, exceeding what is typical for lawyers of her tenure. She also developed a deep appreciation for meticulous preparation and attention to detail—qualities that define her practice today. A graduate of the Trial Academy of the National Institute of Trial Advocacy, Sarah brings sharp skills and dedication to every case she handles.

Sarah primarily practices in medical malpractice and serious personal injury. Despite her relatively young career, she has already taken on primary responsibility at several trials and served as counsel or co-counsel in two multimillion-dollar medical malpractice verdicts. Her work also includes securing numerous seven-figure settlements for her clients through mediations and litigation.

Her exceptional achievements in medical malpractice advocacy have earned her widespread recognition, both locally and nationally:



• National Trial Lawyers: “Top 40 Under 40 Litigators” (2019)
• Sophisticated Woman Magazine: Featured in a career spotlight (2021)
• New Orleans Magazine: “Top Lawyers” with special recognition for medical malpractice (2022, 2023)
• Super Lawyers: “Rising Star” (2023, 2024)
• Avenue Magazine: Featured in Ladies Who Launch as a successful young business owner (2024)
• Best Lawyers: Recognized as “Ones to Watch” in legal advocacy (2025)

Sarah also serves as a board member for the Louisiana Patient Rights Advocacy Forum and the Mandeville Soccer Club, reflecting her commitment to both her professional and local communities.

Outside the office, Sarah is happily married to her husband Chris, an accomplished CPA, and together they are proud parents to two active young boys. “Family is everything, and our business is family,” Sarah says, reflecting her values both at home and in her practice. Sarah enjoys spending time with her children, particularly on the soccer field, a shared passion in their household. She is also an avid history buff, traveler, and follower of politics. Her love for travel blossomed during her time studying abroad in Paris as an undergraduate at LSU.
