She is a preeminent white-collar defense attorney, representing individuals and entities in federal and state matters involving fraud, public corruption, cryptocurrency, RICO, sanctions and embargo violations, healthcare fraud, and financial crimes of every variety.

Ms. Azari understands that for prominent clients, the stakes extend well beyond the courtroom — reputation, career, and legacy are equally on the line. She brings to each engagement the rare combination of seasoned trial instincts, strategic media awareness, and an unwavering belief in the presumption of innocence.Across all practice areas, Sara is known for her aggressive preparation, commanding courtroom presence, and an uncompromising commitment to her clients\' rights and outcomes.
