Sara L. Gottman
Bio
Born and raised in Valmeyer, Illinois, Sara L. Gottman brings a wealth of real-world experience and creative problem-solving to her work in litigation. Sara began her professional life as an opera singer, actor, and voice actor, performing throughout the Midwest. Before pursuing a career in law, Sara worked her way up from a receptionist at a small law firm to a legal assistant and later an administrative assistant to a General Partner at Edward Jones. Inspired by that work, she made the decision to attend law school and begin a new chapter as an attorney.
Today, Sara is a member of the litigation team at MM&R, where she focuses on business and commercial litigation matters. Outside the office, she remains active as a musician, serving as a church musician at Zoar United Church of Christ and Our Lady of the Snows Shrine.
Community Involvement
Sara is a dedicated advocate for the Alzheimer’s Association, particularly through her longtime involvement with the St. Louis Walk to End Alzheimer’s. After losing her father to the disease in 2017, she began appearing as the “Purple Pixie” to raise awareness and inspire participants each year. She also gives back to the next generation of attorneys by mentoring law students at SLU Law, continuing the mentorship traditions she valued as a Teaching Assistant and Teaching Fellow.
