Fight for the Underdog

Sarah’s Career Journey
Sticklen & Sticklen is exclusively focused on assisting accident victims, positioning themselves as one of the leading personal injury law firms in Missouri. But what led Sarah to practice in this area of law? Her journey took her from law firms in Chicago, Columbia, and Miami, but it was her realization that she wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps by handling injury claims that ultimately defined her legal career.
However, it’s not just about the cases she takes on; it’s about the unique perspective she brings to her work. As Sarah notes, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to being a woman or a female attorney. Instead, her advice to aspiring women in the legal field is simple but powerful: “Just focus on being there for clients when they need it most.”

For Sarah, being recognized as a “Woman to Watch” is a dream come true. She acknowledges the importance of standing up for what she believes in and the positive impact she can have on her community and the world.
Having a Voice at the Table
“I am honored to be featured with a group of women in my community who aren’t afraid to stand up for what they know will make our community, and our world, a better place,” Sarah declares. Her journey serves as an inspiring reminder that there is nothing holding women back from making their mark in any field.
To Sarah Sticklen-McDonnell, being a “Woman to Watch” isn’t just about having a seat at the table in a male-dominated field; it’s about having a voice at the table.

In her own words, “If I, with my license to practice law, don’t stand up for someone who is being taken advantage of, then who will?”
