Prior to that, she practiced law as a defense attorney at the law firm of Ford, Walker, Haggerty and Behar (2005-2007) where she handled cases from the pre-litigation stages through trial, arbitration, and mediation and learned how insurance companies evaluate and analyze cases for settlement or trial.

She took extreme care with my consultation and even got on the phone with my other attorney to fully understand the situation. She's tenacious and genuinely compelled to help. I can't imagine having her as opposing counsel. You want her on your side.
