About Heather
Biography
I’m the one who can take a dry appellate record and weave a compelling story. I’m the one who is thrilled to put together the jury charge and argue it while your lead trial lawyer preps for closing argument. I’m the one who can see the forest through the trees. I’m the one who prepares for oral argument like athletes prepare for The Big Game. I’m the one who makes it my business to know the ins and outs of appellate procedure. I’m the one who loves to collaborate with trial teams as early as the motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment stage to create a winning appellate strategy. I’m the one who gets jazzed about serial commas and killer preliminary statements. I’m an appellate lawyer.
