Sarah Varney

Sarah Varney concentrates her practice in criminal defense and appeals in state and federal courts, practicing in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. Prior to joining the firm, Attorney Varney worked as a Staff Attorney at the New Hampshire Public Defender, representing clients charged in the Juvenile, District, and Superior Courts, and previously interned with the Philadelphia Public Defender’s Office and the CPCS Public Defender Division office here in Worcester. Attorney Varney was drawn to criminal defense and appellate work while volunteering at the Pennsylvania Innocence Project—investigating post-conviction innocence claims, researching and developing legal arguments for appeals, and often reviewing letters from clients whose attorneys hadn’t provided them the representation they needed and deserved—and she found her passion for holistic, client-driven defense once she began working in public defender offices. Attorney Varney is driven by the interpersonal aspects of criminal defense practice and works diligently to represent each client as an individual, not just another criminal case or set of charges. Since joining Rudolf, Smith, Griffis & Ruggieri, LLP, Attorney Varney has directed her practice toward more complex motions practice and appeals. Most recently, she has worked on multiple post-conviction appeals at the Massachusetts Court of Appeals and argued a federal sentencing appeal before the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
