Sayler Crosby
Attorney
Erin Sweeney, is an attorney with the DuMond Law Firm. She was born in Aurora, Colorado and grew up in North Augusta, South Carolina and Grovetown, Georgia. She found her passion for the practice of law in middle school after joining a mock trial team on a whim, stumbling upon her future career. Since then she has been dedicated to helping those who need legal representation to achieve the best outcome possible and developed her public speaking and persuasive skills over time on high school, college, and law school mock trial teams.
She attended the University of Georgia and graduated in 2018 with a degree in Psychology with a History Minor. While there, she was on the Executive Board of the University of Georgia Undergraduate Mock Trial Program as the Recruitment and Social Chair. Erin, along with five other students, also founded the UGA Defender Advocate Society, a program whose mission was to advise students prosecuted by the UGA Student Judiciary and help them find legal representation for alleged conduct violations.
She went on to earn her Juris Doctor in 2021 from Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. During Law School Erin was a member of the mock trial team while also holding a leadership position on the Executive Moot Court Board as the Internals Competition Chair.
Erin also volunteered with ASU’s Undergraduate Mock Trial Program as an Assistance Coach between her 1L and 2L year. During her 3L year, Erin was one of five students selected to participate in the Public Defender Clinic with the Maricopa County Public Defender Office and represented several defendants during preliminary hearings, change of plea hearings, sentencings, as well as during a DUI trial.
Erin first worked with Samantha DuMond as a law clerk in 2019 and has been with The DuMond Law Firm full time since her graduation from law school. She passed the Arizona bar in February of 2022. Her role at the DuMond Law Firm is focused on research and writing, working to help draft Motions and Petitions to help clients find justice and relief from injustice. Erin is grateful to work with Attorney Samantha DuMond and the rest of the legal team at the DuMond Law Firm.
Legal Intake Specialist
Sayler Crosby currently serves as a Legal Intake Specialist at the DuMond Law Firm. She was born and raised in Arizona, moving all around the state. Her initial interest in law was sparked as a child by popular television dramas such as NCIS, Blue Bloods, and Law and Order, which captivated her imagination. This
passion was further fueled by a deeply personal experience—the suspicious death of her older brother during her freshman year of high school—prompting her to explore the legal world with even greater dedication.
Upon graduating from Queen Creek Virtual Academy, Sayler embarked on an entrepreneurial venture by owning her own business, while also working in the restaurant industry to support her endeavors. These roles allowed her to develop a diverse set of skills, fostering qualities such as resilience, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, which have become instrumental in her professional growth.
Seizing a unique opportunity to join the DuMond Law Firm, Sayler quickly immersed herself in the legal field, working alongside and learning from a talented team of attorneys and paralegals. This role has enabled her to deepen her knowledge and practical experience in the legal industry.
Sayler is currently pursuing an associate’s degree in paralegal studies, with the goal of eventually becoming an attorney. Her passion for law continues to expand, and she remains committed to advancing her career in the legal profession.
