Before joining Fullerton Beck, Sauer served as an assistant corporation counsel for the city of New York in the Bronx Tort Division for five years, two of which were focused on full-time trial work. Sauer achieved favorable outcomes for the city, including several defense verdicts, earning Division Chief Awards in 2014 and 2017 for his exceptional work. He earned his Juris Doctorate, magna cum laude, from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University and his Bachelor of Arts degree from Johns Hopkins University.
