Sarah Stone

Sarah Stone is an experienced defense attorney and litigator who handles criminal matters at Lyda Law Firm. She is dedicated to providing her clients facing criminal charges throughout Colorado with compassionate and zealous representation. 

Born and raised in Denver, Sarah earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder and her graduate degree from Northwestern University in Vocal Performance and Literature. After singing professionally for several years, she felt called to pursue the work of justice and decided to pursue a Juris Doctorate at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. During law school, she was heavily involved in trial advocacy and was the president of the Moot Court Board. She interned at the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office in the appeals division and at the Adams County District Attorney’s office where she prosecuted misdemeanors and traffic offenses under the student practice act and gained invaluable courtroom experience. 

After law school, Sarah joined a small, Colorado criminal defense firm where she handled numerous misdemeanor, juvenile, and municipal cases throughout the entire life of the case. She was successful in guiding her clients through the often daunting criminal justice system, and she was able to achieve positive outcomes for her clients, whether through the dismissal of charges, a fair plea bargain, or at trial. 

In addition to her legal practice, Sarah continues to sing professionally and owns a thriving voice studio where she teaches young people to find their voices. She is passionate about the work of social justice and volunteers with Project Renew and The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. She loves dogs, travel, tennis, and is a fanatical U2 fan.
