Heather’s experience includes the analysis and litigation of complex injury cases, including catastrophic injury. Before joining Resnick & Louis, Heather gained valuable experience working in-house for an insurance company where she successfully tried 7 cases to verdict, all with positive outcomes for her clients. Heather was named Trial Lawyer of the Year in 2016 at her firm. She then honed her craft working as panel counsel for a number of insurance companies, self-insured companies, major trucking companies, and several fortune 500 grocery chains.

Again, Heather received a verdict that was a positive outcome for her clients. Heather then took an opportunity to work on the plaintiff side where she gained valuable experience learning from the “other side” and taking numerous expert and treating doctor depositions. She quickly grew to learn that plaintiff’s side work was less rewarding. Prior to beginning litigation work, Heather spent her first two years as a member of the bar working in academia as an Academic Support Fellow and Adjunct Professor at Whittier Law School.

She has been involved in several confidential cases that have involved settlements of waiver of costs to 15 million dollars+ settlements due to the nature of the case. Her cases have also included liability disputes and value disputes for which there was lack of causation or involvement arguments. Her clients have included religious entities, community entities, school districts, and other nonprofit or for profit organizations providing services to the community. Heather is very familiar with the incredibly sensitive nature in which these matters must be handled. There is a certain manner of professionalism and civility that must be maintained in order to successfully litigate these cases. She has never had difficulty in broaching the vulnerability of these cases on all sides and has had all positive outcomes—be it pre-litigation or due to litigation—to settle or litigate these matters successfully. Prior to graduating from law school, Heather received her B.A. in English with a concentration in Creative Writing from Columbia University in 2007. While there she received the Class of 1939 Scholarship and participated in Varsity Softball.
