Alabama Attorney Sentenced On Drug Charge
June 15, 2013
An Escambia County (AL) attorney has been sentenced on a drug charge.
Sara “Sally” Oswald Stoddard, 66, was arrested by the Brewton Police Department in April 2012 on charges of unlawful possession of a controlled substance and attempt to commit a controlled substance crime.
She pleaded guilty to the unlawful possession charge was sentenced to five years in prison. The sentence was suspended by Judge Bradley Byrne, and she was placed on three years probation. Her license to practice law in Alabama was previously suspended.
Stoddard was accused of trading legal services for narcotics.
According to court records, Stoddard was arrested on similar controlled substance charges in Evergreen, Ala., in 2003. Those charges were later dismissed.
Stoddard later filed suit against then-Conecuh County Sheriff Tracy Hawsey and a deputy sheriff for $500,000 in punitive damages and $4,000,000 in compensatory damages. That case case was later dismissed.

Like any other profession, you have good lawyers and bad lawyers. I work in a prison and we have several here as inmates. However, I am very greatful for the good legal counsel and representation I had when I needed and hired GOOD attornies for services I needed. Not all lawyers are parasites – many of them are a help to those of us who need them!
Amen Friction against, the right lawyer is the key to walking out the front door or being escorted out the back.
>>>where is her photo like everyone elses ??? just saying lol
Escambia, AL, does not have an online jail system in order to obtain mugshots. At the time this story was written on a Friday night for Saturday morning, their admin offices were not open to request a mug.
Remember that the next time you need a deed, a will, or have a family member needing an adoption and they can’t afford and the attorney does it at costs….and most of all remember it when you have a family member or friend who gets falsely accused and they need a “cut throat lawyer” to fight for them.
She should permanently be disbarred…broke the public trust, and of course typical cutthroat lawyer tactics… sue… her actions are just the tip of the iceberg, as there are so many lawyers out there breaking the law…the justice system is a hiding place for the lowlifes…they are parasites…
