My Approach
I approach each case with the goal of supporting the litigation team through the entire litigation process, including discovery, motion practice, trial and appeal. This requires me to collaborate closely with the lead attorney to formulate, research and articulate well-reasoned, persuasive arguments for our clients. I consider my knowledge of the procedural aspects of litigation and my extensive experience in research and writing to be the assets I contribute to our litigation practice.
Practice Areas
Complex Civil Litigation
My work in complex civil litigation involves supporting litigation attorneys as necessary in understanding the issues involved, legal research, and drafting documents for all aspects of the litigation process, including motions, discovery responses, and briefs.
Medical Malpractice Defense
My work in medical malpractice litigation involves supporting litigation attorneys in the defense of health care providers. I have fifteen years of experience in the medical malpractice field.
Professional Licensing Actions
