  • 5+ years of experience in personal injury litigation, including demonstrated expertise in first- and third-party bad faith claims involving all types of insurance coverage.

  • Exceptional legal drafting skills, with a track record of producing complex legal documents such as pre- and post-litigation demands, medical summaries, written discovery responses, legal memoranda, and other high-value personal injury materials.

  • Meticulous attention to detail across all forms of written communication.

  • Deep knowledge of personal injury law across multiple states, including both statutory and common law frameworks, and a strong grasp of recoverable damages and their limitations.
