Her litigation experience informs her proactive counseling style, helping clients identify, prevent, and mitigate risk before disputes arise, while positioning them effectively when litigation becomes necessary.
Her health care clients include assisted living facilities, certified home health agencies, licensed home care services agencies, nursing homes, transportation providers, mental health clinics, hospices, OPWDD programs, and managed care and managed long-term care plans.
