Senior Attorney Sarah M. Raisch joins Romanucci & Blandin’s highly regarded Civil Rights team

CHICAGO (December 9, 2022) – Romanucci & Blandin, LLC, a national personal injury firm primarily based in Chicago, announces Senior Attorney Sarah M. Raisch has joined the firm as part of the firm’s highly regarded Civil Rights team. Her background in criminal defense has given her expertise in seeking justice for individuals affected by various parts of the criminal justice system, especially concerning police misconduct. In addition to handling civil rights cases, Raisch is a member of the firm’s Mass Torts & Class Action team.

Before Romanucci & Blandin, she spent a decade with the Office of the Lake County Public Defender, building up a meaningful trial experience, defending clients facing charges for misdemeanors, DUIs, and felonies of all kinds. She engaged in pretrial and trial litigation to challenge the veracity of the prosecution’s case by defending her clients’ civil rights and challenging motions including: warrants; unlawful search and seizures, arrests or dog sniff cases under the Fourth Amendment; unlawfully obtained or coerced confessions under the Fifth Amendment; and denials of the right to counsel under the Sixth Amendment. Sarah sought the best possible result for her clients facing significant challenges from socio-economic or other circumstances with limited or no resources due to systemic discrimination.

Prior to her time as a public defender, Sarah represented adult and juvenile clients at trial and appellate levels in felony, misdemeanor, and traffic matters at Richards & Hall (now Richards & Dimmer) in Racine, WI, as an Associate Attorney.

Sarah earned her JD from the University of Wisconsin Law School, where she was a student attorney on the Wisconsin Innocence Project, vice president of the Moot Court Executive Board and Secretary of the Student Bar Association. She also served as a judicial clerk for Dane County Circuit Court Judge William Hanrahan, and as a law clerk for the Hennepin County Public Defender's Office. Sarah also earned a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

“Romanucci & Blandin is pleased to have Sarah Raisch join the team, and we are confident her experience will add value to our cases and our clients’ experiences. We are proud of our work in Civil Rights and in large-scale cases including mass shootings, and continuing to add resources to these teams reflects the growth trajectory of the firm,” said Romanucci & Blandin Managing and Senior Partner Hon. Gina A. DeBoni.
