"I guide others with strength and unwavering commitment. – Sarah"

When life feels uncertain, you deserve an advocate who brings both clarity, compassion, and confidence to the table. I’m here to be that advocate—whether you're navigating divorce, protecting your business interests, or planning your family's future. I am Sarah Bennett, Principal and Managing Attorney of Sodoma Law North. Having spent nearly my entire life in the Lake Norman area, I have built my practice on a deep commitment to this community. I combine 14+ years of legal experience with an unwavering focus on my clients' goals, always bringing a strategic mindset and sharp attention to detail to every case I handle. My career began in federal criminal defense, where I learned to dig deep into complex financial records and build strong cases under pressure. Today, I apply that same meticulous approach to family law and estate planning. I am licensed to practice in North Carolina and federally in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Clients often tell me I bring clarity to chaos—and I take pride in that. Whether I am building a case strategy, fighting for custody rights, or breaking down financial data into a clear Excel chart, I take great pride in making the complex manageable. One client once described me as a dolphin—“smarter than a shark and knows when to pick a fight”—and I’ve embraced that as a guiding principle. I know when to litigate fiercely and when a collaborative, well-negotiated resolution is the better path forward. My practice focuses on Family Law and Estate Planning, including separation, divorce, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, child custody and support, spousal support, equitable distribution, business division, wills, and trusts. Outside of work, I am a proud wife and mom to three incredible daughters (and dog mom to Pierogi the Newfoundland and Ruthie the Sheepadoodle). I am also a passionate supporter of NICU families and serve on the Board of Madelyn’s
