Sara was admitted to practice in 2020. She completed her undergraduate degree with honors at the University of Florida prior to graduating magna cum laude from Gonzaga University School of Law. Sara proudly holds a Certificate in Civil and Human Rights. 

Before founding Porto Law Firm, Sara worked as a public defender in several Eastern Washington counties. She also represented parents in dependency proceedings.
