About Teresa

My practice focuses on civil defense litigation with an emphasis in construction, insurance defense, products liability, wrongful death, personal injury, and toxic torts. Because litigation can be a very stressful event for even the most sophisticated clients, I pride myself in being responsive to my clients' needs and concerns and I work toward developing creative solutions for resolving issues in a professional and ethical manner. Also, I am comfortable taking cases to trial when pre-trial resolution is not in my client's best interests.

Practice areas

  1. Construction and development: 50%

    I represent architects, engineers, general contractors, and subcontractors in all types of construction litigation.

    21 years

  2. Litigation: 50%

    My litigation practice includes insurance defense, products liability, toxic torts, deliberate intent, wrongful death, and all manner of civil defense litigation.
