Optimizing Law Practice Management with Technology

Sarah Soucie Eyberg approaches the practice of law with an emphasis on client service. She learned from her father at a very young age that lawyering is about serving your clients first and foremost. This business model focuses on frequent client communication, attorney availability, and a teamwork approach between attorney and client in case development and direction. Sarah is compassionate and empathetic. Her goal in every client interaction is to ensure the client feels heard and validated, and that their questions are addressed. Sarah’s practice focuses exclusively on Social Security Disability law. She specializes in this area because it allows her to help chronically ill and injured people get the benefits to which they are entitled. The Social Security disability application and appeals process is overly complex, and the deck is stacked against the applicant. Many claimants are led to believe they can complete the process without an attorney and then give up because the appeals process and deadlines are overwhelming. Outcomes for claimants are much better when they have professional assistance. Sarah graduated with a Juris Doctor from William Mitchell College of Law after obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and English from the University of St. Thomas (Go Tommies!). Attending Minnesota schools for education allowed Sarah to begin tapping into her legal network while still obtaining her education. She gives back to both schools as an adjunct professor at the now-named Mitchell Hamline School of Law and through the University of St. Thomas’ mentor program—both at the undergraduate and law school levels. Sarah’s dedication to professional excellence, development, and service knows practically no bounds (just ask her husband). She is a member of the Minnesota State Bar Association, the Anoka County Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives, Minnesota Women Lawyers, and Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International. Sarah is also active with her local chapter of the League of Women Voters.
