Sarah Powell

As a founding partner of Bullard & Powell, my practice areas are focused on criminal defense and plaintiff personal injury matters. My goal is to help those that have been criminally charged with a crime or who have been injured by another’s negligence or intentional misconduct, navigate what can be a complicated legal system. To that end, I incorporate the values of hard work, passion and the philosophy of never giving up to everything I do. Prior to founding Bullard & Powell, I worked as Senior Associate Attorney with a large law firm handling both criminal and civil matters, leading up the firm’s civil litigation unit. During this time, I handled a diverse range of criminal and civil matters from vehicular manslaughter to misdemeanor driving under the influence cases, as well as, wrongful death and civil rights violations. I have been involved in a number of high-profile matters, including a civil matter entitled, Tina Satterwhite v. Terrance Elliott, where I devoted an estimate of 2,000 pro bono hours representing a plaintiff defrauded of over $100,000 by the Pastor of her Church. I was my honor to be recognized by the Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino for this work. In 2013, I was selected by the Consumer Attorneys of the Inland Empire to act as an Attorney Liaison Member to speak with State Assembly member Cheryl Brown about the closing of local courts and the effect on the community.
