Cori R. Sarno, Associate

Born in San Diego California on August 21, 1976, Ms. Sarno is a graduate of California State University Dominguez Hills, Carson, California, B.A., 1998, M.A., Behavioral Science: Negotiation and Conflict Management, 2000, and the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, J.D., with distinction, 2003. At McGeorge, she was a staff writer and a primary editor for the McGeorge Law Review and was a member of the Traynor Honor Society. Ms. Sarno worked in the Office of the General Counsel for the California State University while in graduate school, and at Angelo, Kilday & Kilduff for a year prior to completing her J.D., gaining experience with public entity defense, employment litigation and education law.

Ms. Sarno specializes in dispositive motions in both state and federal court. She has obtained dismissals and judgments in a number of high profile, hardly-fought cases with relatively complex, interesting legal issues. She has also had considerable success using factual and legal arguments to convince Plaintiff’s attorneys to simply dismiss non-meritorious cases. In several cases she has obtained significant attorneys fees awards for the defense.
