Hi. My name is Dr. Sara Kubik. But you can just call me Sara. I am a lawyer who works in AI. I weave technology into how I practice, which means I work differently than most traditional attorneys do. And honestly, I think that is a good thing for my clients.
I’m also a mother, a daughter, and a sister. I know what it feels like to navigate difficult decisions for the people you love. That is exactly who I’m here to help.
My background is unique. I have a PhD in Technology from Purdue, an MBA from the University of Miami, my law degree from Cooley Law School, and a BA from the University of Notre Dame. I am definitely a lifelong learner!
My Crown Point office is located in the Purdue Technology Center, which feels like a full circle moment I didn’t plan but now appreciate. Boiler Up!
What I Have Built
I don’t just talk about using technology. I use it. I’ve made a video to help pro-se litigants file documents online, because not everyone can afford an attorney, and that shouldn’t mean they’re lost in the system. I just built an Indiana Medicaid penalty period calculator so people get an indea of how long they may have to private pay for a nursing home. I built a chatbot that computes child support amounts, dashboards full of data, and digital products for legal workflows. I also enjoy creating content that helps people who want to understand and use technology in a practical way. An AI agent is in the works to make my own legal work faster and sharper. This list will keep growing.
How I Practice
I started in family law in Cook County, Illinois and have moved to estate planning in NW Indiana (‘The Region’). I have seen what happens when people don’t have the right documents in place, when families fall apart over things that could have been handled simply, and when clients are charged for complexity they did not need.
I will tell you honestly what you need, what you don’t, and why. Sometimes the right answer is simpler and less expensive than you expect. I don’t sell documents. I give advice.
I also encourage you to do your own research. Google things. Ask ChatGPT questions. Talk to your friends. My legal expertise is better applied when I’m helping you make sense of what you’ve already found, not gatekeeping information you could find on your own.
I use technology throughout my practice (digital files, electronic signatures, AI tools) because it makes my work faster and better. I’ve built a chatbot that computes child support amounts, dashboards for legal workflows, and videos to help people navigate the court system on their own. An AI agent to make my legal work faster and sharper is in the works. This list keeps growing.
The Rest of It
My children are just really amazing human beings. I also have three dogs ranging from large to gigantic. There’s usually something fermenting in my kitchen. In the summer, I like to spend too much time in my garden growing tomatoes raised from seeds of fruits we ate in the wintertime, or hunting for monarch eggs on the many milkweed plants in my yard.
