Meet Sara J. Gray
Early Life and Education
Sara J. Gray grew up in the small town of Momence, Illinois. She is the eldest of four children born to Mary, a retired critical-care nurse of 40 years, and the late William, a welder, diesel mechanic, and an all-around fix-it guy.

She spent her last summer during law school in New York City serving the public interest as an intern with the HIV law project in Manhattan. Sara graduated magna cum laude in the class of 2000, earning special recognition for high achievement in the areas of criminal law, procedure, and evidence.
She passed the Illinois bar exam that summer and, in the fall of 2000, was admitted to:
Legal Practice
She spent her first year as an attorney representing indigent clients at the Will County public defender’s office, which prompted her to settle in Joliet, Illinois. Her practice focuses on helping those charged with criminal offenses and burdened with crushing debt.
Bankruptcy could provide relief from the burden of unmanageable debt. Depending on the type of bankruptcy which the debtor files for, it can also help them get rid of their debts.
If you have been accused of a crime or you know that you are under criminal investigation, a good criminal defense attorney like Sara J. Gray could help you prepare for the questioning and also guide you through the pre-trial stage.
