Having served over twenty carriers and third-party administrators, as well several self-insured clients, Brittney delivers strategic and results driven advocacy for insurance carriers and their insureds by utilizing her experience to provide well-reasoned, tailored liability assessments, while prioritizing client objectives. Clients trust her approach to each matter, which includes careful attention to the factual record and governing law, while emphasizing strict compliance with procedure and ethics, and identification of key leverage points customized to each case. Drawing on her years of litigation experience, Brittney balances the interests of the insured and the carrier while pursuing successful outcomes and thoughtful risk mitigation.

Experienced in state and federal courts and all stages of civil litigation, Brittney achieves consistent results through effective discovery practice, targeted motion work, including dispositive mechanisms, and prioritizing movement of cases forward towards resolution. Her standard for case management includes early case evaluation with assessments of liability, ability for risk transfer and mitigation, potential for dismissal through dispositive motions, settlement capability, consideration of early expert involvement, and valuation of the case, concurrent with zealous advocacy through pre-answer motions, pursuit of jurisdictional and pleading challenges, and directed but thorough written discovery to plaintiffs and co-defendants, often positioning cases for early resolution. Through this approach, Brittney regularly obtains dismissals of clients outside of settlement, or alternatively, secures favorable settlements that serve the best interests of both the insured and the carrier. Brittney also performs appellate monitoring and reporting services to ensure clients remain informed at every stage of litigation. This client-centric emphasis ensures that every matter receives the attention, discernment, and strategic direction necessary to achieve optimal results and to keep the insured out of harm’s way.
