Biography

I joined Hare Wynn in 2015 and work primarily in the areas of class action and mass tort litigation. Recently, along with several other Hare Wynn lawyers and the Attorney General’s offices of Montana and Alaska, I negotiated the largest consumer protection settlement related to drug misbranding in both Montana and Alaska. These settlements resulted in a payout of $15.25 million to the state of Alaska and $16.7 million to the state of Montana. I was also part of a team of Hare Wynn lawyers who secured a $310 million settlement on behalf of a Class of investors who had been defrauded in the settlement of a prior class action.
