Manage a personal injury litigation docket from suit through resolution

Draft and respond to pleadings, written discovery, and substantive motions

Take and defend depositions, including party and key fact witness depositions

Evaluate liability and damages, develop case strategy, and prepare matters for mediation, hearings, and trial

Communicate directly with clients and coordinate with relevant stakeholders as needed

Negotiate settlements and prepare files for trial when required
