Stephanie defends clients in toxic tort matters.
Stephanie serves as a member of national coordinating counsel teams for mass tort clients across the country, overseeing widespread litigation needs. She also serves as local counsel for clients in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York, handling every stage of litigation including discovery, motion practice, expert retention and development, and trial. Stephanie is also well versed in all forms of alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration and mediation.
While Stephanie’s primary focus today is asbestos and other toxic tort matters, she has a background of success in a wide variety of complex commercial litigation matters. She has previously concentrated on both claims of breach of fiduciary duty and medical malpractice allegations—a field where she discovered a passion for the intersection of law and science and for collaborating with physicians and other expert witnesses.
Stephanie’s record includes a case highlighted in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly as a meaningful contribution to the development of Massachusetts law on two issues of first impression. The matter involved minority shareholders frozen out of a family company with claims of more than $40 million in damages asserted against them. After almost five years of hard-fought litigation, Stepanie won a motion for summary judgment that dismissed each and every claim.
A passionate litigator and a fierce advocate, Stephanie has a reputation for caring deeply and personally for clients.
