Profile

Bio

Sabina knew from a young age that she wanted to be an attorney. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, she immigrated to the U.S. at age nine and was raised in San Francisco. After attending elementary and high school in the city, she crossed the Bay to earn her bachelor’s degree in Legal Studies with a specialization in Public Interest Law at UC Berkeley. She then returned to San Francisco for law school, committed to building her career in the community that shaped her.

Sabina began practicing law in 2011, initially representing plaintiffs in personal injury, breach of contract, landlord-tenant disputes, and employment litigation. She later transitioned to defense work, expanding her practice to include construction defects, products liability, habitability, real estate broker defense, and labor law.

With over a decade of experience, Sabina has handled all phases of litigation, from prelawsuit investigation through trial, on both the plaintiff and defense sides. Her ability to see cases from both perspectives gives her a unique advantage in anticipating opposing arguments and developing strategic, effective solutions for her clients.

Prior to joining Venardi Zurada, LLP, Sabina was a litigation associate at a prominent Bay Area litigation trust and estate boutique, where she both prosecuted and defended will and trust contests, breach of fiduciary duty claims, trustee removal, and financial elder abuse matters. Alongside her litigation practice, she volunteered her time at the Contra Costa Senior Center, assisting seniors by drafting simple wills, powers of attorney, and advance health care directives.

Now at Venardi Zurada, she returns to her passion for advocating for those who may not have a voice and fighting for justice on their behalf.

Sabina is an active member of the Contra Costa Bar Association and serves as a board member for its Litigation Section.
