Kristen has spent the majority her career representing people across the nation who have been catastrophically injured due to the negligence of others, largely in the areas of medical malpractice and birth injury litigation. Other areas of her litigation experience include personal injury and wrongful death from other causes, products liability, nursing home abuse and neglect, trucking accidents and premises liability. Presently, along with her law partner, Kristen also practices in the areas of civil rights, sexual assault and abuse, toxic exposure, workplace discrimination, wrongful termination and whistleblower/qui tam.
