Sally Amanda Marshall is an American lawyer in the U.S. state of Oregon. She was, most immediately, the United States Attorney for the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, the top federal prosecutor position in the state. She resigned her position on April 24, 2015, amid an internal review, citing unspecified health issues.
Sally Amanda Marshall was born to William Gray Marshall and Patricia Faye Marshall about 1970. Her parents separated when she was five years old when they were living in Puerto Rico. Growing up, Marshall lived in Washington, D.C., the Chicago area, and finally Mill Valley, California, where she graduated from Tamalpais High School in 1987.
Marshall earned a bachelor's degree in 1992 in rhetoric and communication from University of Oregon. In 1995, she graduated with a juris doctorate from Willamette University College of Law in Salem, Oregon. She clerked for the tribal court of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community while still in law school.
She married Yamhill County Circuit Court Judge Ladd Wiles in 1999, whom she met in college. The couple live in McMinnville, Oregon, which is in Yamhill County, and have three sons.
Following law school, she was a deputy district attorney for five years in Coos County, Oregon, along the Oregon Coast. Marshall then worked as an assistant attorney general at the Oregon Department of Justice. She spent about 10 years there, primarily in child advocacy. In November 2010, President Barack Obama nominated her to serve as the United States Attorney for the District of Oregon to permanently replace Karin Immergut. Dwight C. Holton had served as the interim U.S. Attorney after Immergut left the position in 2009. The United States Senate confirmed Marshall's appointment in September 2011, and she was sworn in on October 7, 2011.
