For the past ten years I have been advocating on behalf of injured victims and their families.  From birth injuries to brain injuries to wrongful death to nursing home claims, I have handled all types of medical malpractice and personal injury claims from intake to trial.  I have obtained millions of dollars in compensation on behalf of my clients.. As a female litigator, I have a unique understanding of the needs of my clients.  This is particularly true in cases involving women and children, such as cerebral palsy and birth injury cases.   This understanding of the law, and my clients needs, has allowed me to successfully handle these claims in a field dominated by my male peers.. As an attorney, it is important to be able to be a pitbull.  But sometimes, in this complex field of litigation, a more delicate touch is required.  I have the ability to access both qualities, in an effective manner, as the situation dictates.
