  • From Snowboarder to Trial Lawyer – Sarah Havens on Competition, Courtroom Battles, and Life Beyond Alcohol
    Feb 1 2025

    In this episode of Legal Latitudes – The Lathrop Law Podcast, I sit down with Sarah Havens, the 2025 President of Consumer Attorneys of San Diego and an absolute star in the courtroom. But before she was leading the justice charge, she was dominating the snowparks as a competitive snowboarder, throwing down rotations and pushing limits.

    Sarah and I connect on a great level, especially when it comes to translating the drive and intensity of extreme sports into the legal world. We talk about her journey—from shredding mountains to taking on big cases, her early years as an attorney, and the legal conferences that shaped her career.

    But this conversation gets personal. Sarah opens up about a pivotal part of her life: her decision to quit drinking and embrace an alcohol-free lifestyle. It’s a raw and honest discussion about personal growth, balance, and how making tough choices can impact your career and well-being.

    We also break down the evolving landscape of personal injury trial work, the overwhelming number of legal seminars out there, and what it really takes to be a top trial lawyer today.

    🔥 If you're looking for an authentic, inspiring, and high-energy conversation about law, life, and pushing limits, this episode is for you.
