She focuses her practice on civil litigation, representing clients in complex disputes involving business litigation, tort claims, land-use, commercial matters, natural resources, and environmental law.

She regularly drafts pleadings, dispositive motions, discovery pleadings, and trial-related filings while managing complex factual records and developing litigation strategy.
