Claimed Lawyer Profile

Summary

I have been with Biggam, Fox & Skinner for more than 15 years, and I am a partner. I specialize in helping people with their workers’ compensation and personal injury claims because it is personally rewarding for me when I am able to help an injured person get the benefits that they deserve, and I am able to hold an insurance company accountable. I understand that having an injury can be very difficult and I know that insurance companies often do not treat people fairly. I enjoy helping people and advocating for them. I form strong relationships with my clients and I do really care about getting good results for them. My most rewarding cases have been apparent long shots, medically complicated or factually difficult, but ultimate winners when tested at hearing at the Department of Labor or in Superior Court, because my clients were honest, hard-working, and deserving. My pride in my work comes from getting good results and winning cases for my clients. I understand that the legal process is long and can be quite frustrating for most people, and I try to do my part by following my conscience, using common sense, and having faith that justice will prevail. I am happy to represent Vermont State Employees Association (VSEA) members and I take great pride in my many successes holding Risk Management for the State of Vermont (now State of Vermont Division of Workers’ Compensation) accountable when they do not treat injured State employees fairly or inform them of the benefits that they are entitled to. I have lived in Montpelier for more than a decade, with my husband, who is also an attorney. I enjoy gardening and spending as much time as I can outdoors with my husband and our son and daughter, who keep us laughing.
