Sarah Nichols is a former associate at Rick Saffron's law firm.
History
Sarah joined the law to fight injustice, a few years before she and her family were sued by a businessman who accused her dog of attacking him. That's when a lawyer took her case on a pro-bono service, which motivated her to do the same.
The Golf Job
Sarah was starting her first day working at Rick Saffron’s lawyer association when she met Harry, presuming him to be Rick Saffron. Eventually, Sarah realized Harry was lying about his identity, but Harry convinced her that he was the good guy. Together they break into the nail salon that Bishop owned, with Sarah distracting the workers, to give Harry time to break into a safe. Harry exposed Rick Saffron’s practices to be dishonourable to Sarah and reminded her why she sought to be a lawyer, convincing her to represent the little guy and be a power for good.
The Turkish Prisoner Job
Sarah is acting as Romero’s lawyer. Romero was unlawfully arrested by two dirty cops, Kira Simone and Billy McShane, who planted drugs and a gun in his car. Romero’s brother ran with the Latin Kings, and his relationship, despite his lack of a criminal record, is enough to convince the judge. Sarah reaches out to Harry for help and advice. Sarah asks Harry for reassurance that she can win this case, which he gives.
The two dirty cops are later caught having broken into Renee’s house. Sarah and Renee talk to the judge the following morning, and Sarah explains how she believes Kira and McShane framed Romero to force him to lead them money they believed he knew the location of. The judge sides with Sarah, and they agree to do a thorough investigation on the cops and their history.
