Sarah A. Telle

   Sarah A. Telle focuses on employment practice liability, automobile accident defense, premises liability, and construction defect. However, her practice is expanding, and she is always willing and looking to learn something new.

   After graduating Washington & Lee University School of Law in 2019, Sarah moved to Paducah, Kentucky, where she worked for a maritime law firm on both litigation and contract issues. She left the firm to clerk for Justice Conley at the Kentucky Supreme Court. Subsequently, Sarah stayed in Frankfort, Kentucky to work for the Kentucky Attorney General doing Consumer Protection, where she worked on multi-state antitrust litigation against Fortune 500 Companies in addition to enforcing the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act. Sarah left the Office of the Attorney General to practice insurance defense litigation and has never looked back. 

   Thus far in her career, Sarah has represented small businesses, general contractors, restaurants and bars, transportation companies, gas companies, and individuals. She looks forward to adding to this list. 

   Outside of the office, Sarah likes to spend time with family, play board games, and go on walking holidays. She sits on the board of the Secretariat Center, which helps to rehome retired Thoroughbreds.
