Sarah B. Tinney

Sarah Tinney is a strong believer in her clients' rights under the law. In her opinion, when clients benefit from legal counsel, society as a whole benefits. A 1974 graduate of the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in Political Science and a 1977 graduate of the University of Illinois Law School, she concentrates her practice in litigation, business law and real estate.

Her political science background is an asset to her clients, particularly in litigation such as divorce and personal injury cases. She sees the law as the means by which justice is preserved for everyone, and she and the other members of Erwin, Martinkus, & Cole, Ltd. in Champaign, IL work to get their clients the greatest possible benefit. Generous with her time, she gets to know her clients and wants them to know her both as a professional and as someone who cares about their problems and concerns. Her time also goes to her community: she is a board member of the American Red Cross and a member of the Champaign County Bar Association and the Women's Council of Realtors.
