She has successfully represented general contractors, property owners, insurance carriers, and product manufacturers in matters involving catastrophic injury, high-exposure construction disputes, and challenging liability claims.

Skilled in all phases of litigation, from early case assessment through trial and appeal, her experience spans jury trials, a bench trial, arbitration hearings, and high-stakes settlement negotiations.
