Member Bio

Early in her career Suzanne was part of the national trial team that represented the makers of a biologic medicine designed to treat hemophilia through which thousands of hemophilia patients contracted HIV. Suzanne assisted in crafting a litigation strategy that led to its successful resolution. She has also served on the national trial team in pharmaceutical cases involving a diabetes medication that was alleged to have caused bladder cancer.
Currently, Suzanne is on the national trial team for transvaginal mesh implant cases remanded from an MDL and is also representing a national pharmacy in the opioid litigation.
As former Counsel and Risk Manager for one of the Midwest's largest teaching hospitals, where she was responsible for litigation and risk management, Suzanne has deep experience in the health care industry and uses her network to serve clients. For example, when two law firms told a client no expert could be found to support their case, the client switched firms and Suzanne, part of a team hired just before trial, was able to retain a local expert from a well respected teaching institution. The case settled on the courthouse steps for a favorable amount.
Suzanne has been involved in the personal injury aspects of numerous mass torts, particularly groundwater contamination cases. In a case alleging injuries from a pipeline release, Suzanne took the deposition of the lead class representative. After she impeached the witness three times early in the deposition, the plaintiffs’ attorney halted the proceeding and the claim was dismissed immediately thereafter.
