Her litigation practice encompasses the various stages of a civil dispute, from evaluating legal issues and conducting factual and legal research through discovery, motion practice, settlement discussions, and trial preparation. Bridget has experience assisting with contract, business, and commercial disputes, general civil litigation, and plaintiff-side insurance claims.

Across these matters, Bridget contributes to case strategy development, analyzes claims and defenses, prepares legal documents, and organizes information relevant to each matter. She approaches each dispute with careful legal analysis, strong written advocacy, and attention to the practical considerations that can influence the course and resolution of a case. Her work involves helping clients and colleagues evaluate legal issues, develop effective strategies, and navigate disputes toward resolution.

Bridget earned her bachelor’s degree from John Carroll University and her Juris Doctor from Cleveland State University College of Law.
