Meet Sarah
Sarah E. Michel is a dedicated family law attorney committed to serving families and children throughout Southwest Ohio. A lifelong resident of Mason, Ohio, Sarah takes pride in helping clients navigate some of life’s most challenging legal matters, from divorce and custody disputes to adoption and juvenile law. Her practice is rooted in compassion, advocacy, and a deep understanding of the complexities families face.
Sarah began her legal career in Dayton, Ohio, working in the juvenile division of the Montgomery County Public Defender’s Office before transitioning into private practice. In 2018, she returned home to Cincinnati, where she built a strong reputation representing clients in family law, juvenile law, and estate planning across multiple counties in Southwest Ohio. Whether guiding parents through custody agreements or helping families grow through adoption, Sarah finds fulfillment in advocating for those who need it most.
Beyond her legal practice, Sarah is deeply involved in her community. She serves on the board of The Magnolia Resource, a non-profit supporting foster and adoptive families, and the Mason SAY Soccer Board, giving back to the city that shaped her. A strong believer in mentorship, she follows the advice of a mentor who once told her, “If you want to change the world, start in the community that changed you.”
When she’s not in the office, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family, spoiling her nephew, and taking part in Cincinnati’s local events. A passionate runner, she participates in the Flying Pig Half Marathon every year. She’s also an avid Ohio State Buckeyes fan, a lifelong Cincinnati Bengals supporter, and a traveler who enjoys exploring new places.
