About

**Sarah Clayton Phillips: Accomplished Personal Injury Attorney in New Orleans, LA** Sarah Clayton Phillips is a distinguished personal injury attorney based in New Orleans, LA, and the founder of Phillips Law, LLC. Originally hailing from a small town in Georgia, Sarah found her true home in the vibrant culture and dynamic spirit of New Orleans, a city that has captured her heart since her first visit. After earning her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Art History from the University of Georgia, Sarah gained invaluable experience working as a research assistant in Clinical and Social Psychology. Her commitment to helping others led her to a domestic abuse shelter for battered women and children, where she developed a keen interest in the legal system. Inspired by her experiences and a memorable trip to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl, Sarah decided to pursue her legal education at Loyola University New Orleans. During her time at Loyola, Sarah excelled academically and was awarded certificates in International Law and Environmental Law. However, it was her involvement in the Trial Advocacy Program that truly honed her skills as a trial attorney. As President of the program during her senior year, she received the prestigious Order of the Barristers for her exceptional oral advocacy skills, a testament to her dedication to the legal profession. In her final year of law school, Sarah participated in the Loyola University Clinic Program, where she gained hands-on experience as a student practitioner under the mentorship of seasoned attorneys. This opportunity allowed her to work closely with the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office and the Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s Office, including participation in a first-degree murder trial. These experiences shaped her into the confident and accomplished attorney she is today. At Phillips Law, LLC, Sarah is committed to providing her clients with compassionate representation in personal injury cases. Her unique background and extensive legal experience enable her to navigate complex legal challenges effectively, ensuring her clients receive the justice they deserve.
