Meet Attorney Sarah Blackwell...
Sarah Blackwell is an immigration attorney practicing for 15 years in Milwaukee County. A strong believer in giving people tools to make changes in their lives, Sarah has her own law practice and focuses on helping people become lawful permanent residents through a family member. She is witness to the powerful effect becoming documented has on the lives of her clients, both emotionally and financially. Sarah sees the Social Development Foundation as playing a similar role in the community: providing resources to the Social Development Commission (SDC) to allow SDC to deliver programs that can help transform the lives of Milwaukee residents.

Prior to being an immigration attorney, Sarah worked in healthcare for most of 20 years in various management positions, both in Milwaukee and in London, England. A native of London, Sarah emigrated to the US both as a child and as an adult. She has lived in the Milwaukee area for over 20 years.

Sarah has a bachelor’s degree from University of Wisconsin-Madison and a law degree from Marquette University.
