Sage Dames is a Paralegal on the intake team at LAE. They are dedicated in their work to the pursuit of justice and a better standard of living for all of our clients.
Born in San Francisco, Mx. Dames and their family were evicted and displaced during the tech boom of 2000. In 2011, Sage returned to SF as a young adult, becoming a dedicated activist in the realms of housing, food, environmental, and educational justice.

Mx. Dames volunteered as a bilingual tenant counselor with the Housing Rights Committee during the pandemic and received recognition from the board of supervisors prior to joining LAE. They earned a BA in Political Science with high honors from San Francisco State University.
Believing that the pursuit of justice takes many angles, Mx. Dames is also a community artist, musician, spiritual leader, and proud foster parent!! They hope to one day be an attorney and join the fight from inside the courtroom.
