Over the last two decades. Courtney represented maritime and trucking companies, as well as individual drivers, in the defense of commercial, personal injury, and insurance litigation. With more than half of her caseload in federal court, Courtney’s practice emphasized not only aggressive initial responsive pleadings and dispositive motions, but also a more considered approach to pretrial motions. Courtney has also focused a lot of her practice on defending 30(b)(6) and other corporate representative depositions to more fully support dispositive and pretrial motions.
