Liz's trial and appellate practice includes a broad range of disputes, including premises and product liability, medical malpractice, administrative law, open records proceedings, and general commercial and bankruptcy-related matters. These disputes at the trial level typically demand strategic written advocacy and error preservation strategies to prepare for appeal. Liz's appellate practice at the state and federal level includes appeals from final judgments, as well as interlocutory appeals and original proceedings.
