My trial practice focuses on defending employers and medical professionals in state and federal courts in both Oregon and Washington. I have represented employers in all types of employment discrimination claims brought in federal and state court. I am our firm's senior employment defense trial attorney.
 
In addition to defending private employers, I have extensive experience defending municipalities against all types of tort claims, including Section 1983 claims, First Amendment claims, and public accommodation claims brought under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

My medical negligence practice focuses primarily on defending medical professionals involved in pharmaceutical or medical device litigation.

I am a Fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers, and an Associate member of the American Board of Trial Advocates. For the past three years, I have been named one of the “Top 25" Women Lawyers in Oregon by Oregon Super Lawyers magazine. I am listed in The Best Lawyers in America for Medical Malpractice Defense, Legal Malpractice Defense and Professional Malpractice Defense.
