  • Draft and argue motions (dispositive and non-dispositive), handle written discovery, and manage case strategy.
  • Take and defend depositions (parties, fact witnesses, treating physicians/experts as appropriate).

  • Experience with catastrophic injury, complex auto/trucking, premises, product liability, or med-mal exposure.
  • Meaningful deposition volume and/or first-chair trial exposure (even if limited).
