After more than four decades in the legal industry, almost nothing gets past Judy.
Judy began working at law firms in the late 1970s and has served as a trial paralegal with a focus in asbestos litigation since 2006. For much of that time, she oversaw monitoring and e-filing for a massive national docket, handled trial preparation, and provided trial support, often on-site. While Judy has assisted with cases across the country, she is particularly experienced with Illinois’s Cook County, a notoriously difficult jurisdiction for defendants.
At Husch Blackwell, Judy supports national coordinating counsel teams for multinational manufacturing and technology companies, drafting legal documents, overseeing court deadlines and maintaining client databases. Judy’s assistance ensures that litigation remains on track.
Judy has built a reputation as the team member who catches everything: as a highly detail-oriented professional, she’s long been the person responsible for final checks. Known as a team player who loves working with people and who thrives on the fast pace of litigation, Judy loves working in a role that keeps her busy. Clients appreciate her efficiency and her clear enjoyment of her work, as well as her decades of background knowledge: Judy has seen just about everything and has a true passion for her field.
