Sarah Filippi Dooley began to practice law in 2012 after earning her law degree at Widener University School of Law, where she was recognized with a “Pro-Bono Distinction” and a student bar association award, both given based on her community service and dedication to the school. She carried her commitment to community service into her practice, advocating for a number of charities throughout the year, and currently serving on the Leadership Council of Community Legal Services.
Sarah focuses her work on cases involving personal and catastrophic injury caused by products liability (defects), premises liability, construction/industrial accidents and motor vehicle/trucking accidents. She carries an OSHA 10 certification in occupational and workplace safety.
While working towards her law degree, Sarah interned with the Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Clinic, the Cape May County, New Jersey Prosecutor’s Office, and the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, while also serving as an office assistant for a Southern New Jersey private practice.
