I'm a shareholder at Gallagher & Kennedy, PA and member of its board of directors. For over 20 years, I have been a tireless advocate for victims of negligent and wrongful conduct throughout Arizona and around the United States. My passionate commitment to the rights of injured or wronged individuals has garnered nearly $300,000,000 in jury verdicts, arbitration awards, mediation results and negotiated settlements for personal injury, wrongful death and legal malpractice clients. Beyond helping my clients obtain compensation for devastating injuries and personal tragedy, I also assist clients with many of the (often non-legal) details of putting their lives back together and moving forward.From the beginning of my career at the firm in 2000, I was drawn to legal matters that allowed me the opportunity to advocate for individuals who have been harmed in some way through the fault of others. As a member and now co-Chair of the firm’s highly skilled and successful Plaintiff’s Personal Injury and Wrongful Death team, I gained invaluable experience in high-profile cases at the state and national levels. I am deeply committed to my clients, and my effort extends well beyond the intricacies of any given lawsuit to champion consumer safety issues for greater social impact. While commanding the fortitude, experience, resources and overall fire in the belly needed to take on major manufacturers and institutional defendants, I remain unfailingly sensitive to the human element of each case I handle. I approach my clients as people first, which makes me broadly effective in understanding my clients’ challenges and advocating their causes.
