Darnell, Sarah A.

Sarah Darnell has been described by one lawyer as a "true gunslinger" for her ability to relentlessly pursue her client's objectives, fearlessly and without intimidation.  With her East Texas drawl and pure Southern charm, Ms. Darnell often takes other lawyers off-guard; but, when she comes out of the gates swinging, everyone knows she means business.

Ms. Darnell's tenacity in pursuit of her client's rights has been recognized by her peers.  In 2010, she was named a Texas Rising Star in the area of family law by Texas Monthly and Texas SuperLawyers magazines.  The Annette Stewart Inns of Court, a Dallas family law organization dedicated to promotion of ethics and professionalism among lawyers, selected Ms. Darnell for membership.

Since joining O'Neil & Attorneys, Ms. Darnell co-authored a booklet What You Need to Know About Common Law Marriage In Texas with Michelle O'Neil. 

With a major in psychology and a minor in political science, Ms. Darnell graduated cum laude from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. In 2006, she received her Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the Oklahoma City University School of Law.

Ms. Darnell lives in Frisco, Texas with her husband and lifelong sweetheart Daryl.  In her spare time, she enjoys relaxing on her patio while her husband makes dinner.
