My clients include children, individuals, employees, corporations, governmental and institutional entities and organizations harmed by the wrongful or negligent conduct of others. Many of my cases involve claims against some of the largest multi-national corporations, banks, institutions, insurers, countries and other well-established entities in multi-district litigation (“MDL”), federal and state civil litigation, class action litigation, arbitrations (including class and multi-plaintiff) and litigation before administrative tribunals, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”). I whole-heartedly believe that my work as an attorney is an opportunity to be purposeful and impactful. As the mother of five children, I approach the practice of law differently than many others. I look at the world through “mama-colored” lenses that inspire me to demand that our legal system delivers on its promises of respect for basic human rights, an unwavering commitment to truth and justice and equal treatment of all persons. I routinely represent clients in challenging legal cases involving complex fact patterns, legal issues subject to conflicting interpretations by various courts or important public policy considerations. I consistently strive to offer an unparalleled level of advocacy, energy, enthusiasm and commitment to my clients. Verdicts, judgments and settlements in the cases in which I have been involved exceed $7 billion dollars.
