Sarah Kline Carmichael

Sarah Kline Carmichael has focused her practice on commercial litigation, employment law, and insurance defense matters, as well as business transactions and corporate organization. She supports several other attorneys with their cases and matters while also working on developing her own practice areas. Sarah loves attacking problems and finding solutions for her clients. She enjoys researching, both to the benefit of her clients and her fellow attorneys, but also because she likes learning something new every day.

Before heading west to Lubbock for law school at Texas Tech University, Sarah came to Fort Worth to attend Texas Christian University for a Bachelor of Arts in English and Bachelor of Poltical Science.  She originally hails from Paradise, Texas. Now back in the area and living downtown, Sarah and her husband take full advantage of the wonders of Fort Worth. Of course, as a TCU and Texas Tech grad, Sarah keeps up with college football, but also loves to read, camp, and hike.
