He spent a dozen years as an assistant U.S. attorney in Newark, NJ, investigating and trying numerous high profile cases. Following law school, he served as clerk to the Honorable Reynaldo G. Garza, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

“I’m looking forward to having a close relationship with my clients at Laredo & Smith,” said Sierra. “I enjoy an entrepreneurial environment and look forward to expanding my white collar work and building this new compliance practice.”
