LeAnn has tried numerous complex cases to verdict ranging from plaintiff’s asbestos litigation to multi-party employment law cases. Complementing her extensive accomplishments in the courtroom, LeAnn has also successfully handled hundreds of matters before various governmental administrative hearing bodies.
While one measure of an attorney is her prowess in the courtroom, the full measure is how well she handles all aspects of litigation, not just the part that gets to the jury. LeAnn works closely with her clients throughout the pendency of the case to develop the winning strategy. In some matters getting before a jury is not the best solution. LeAnn knows this and has over the years successfully resolved a host of matters through alternate dispute resolution.
