She is a Category F Guardian ad Litem and consents to court-appointed and private GAL cases, with a focus on custody and parenting plan disputes as well as psychotherapist-patient privilege. Prior to joining Rubin and Rudman, Sara was an associate at a boutique family law firm in Boston. She was also a judicial intern in the Middlesex Probate and Family Court and the Superior Court.
