Her experience includes personal injury, 18-wheeler and commercial transportation accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, products liability, premises liability, construction, commercial, real estate, insurance, and business disputes. Having litigated thousands of cases from filing through trial and appeal, she brings practical insight and credibility to every mediation.

Her ability to communicate fluently in both English and Spanish, combined with decades of litigation experience, allows her to effectively mediate a wide range of complex disputes.
