Exceptional Water Dispute Resolution

Sarah M. Stevenson of Modrall Sperling is an exceptional attorney who demonstrated unparalleled expertise and professionalism in resolving a complex water rights dispute for my family's ranch. Her 16 years of experience in water law, coupled with her background in both law and environmental studies, provided a unique perspective that led to a successful outcome. Her recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Environmental Law (2026) and her prominent role as a shareholder in the Natural Resources Department at Modrall Sperling are testament to her skills. Working with Sarah was a pleasant and reassuring experience, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
