She also conducted countless witness interviews to determine case-specific facts and engaged in a considerable amount of motion practice, skills she now uses to represent employers.

Prior to attending law school, Bridgette worked in employment law for over ten years with plaintiff’s counsel, defense counsel, as well as in-house counsel. Through those experiences, she developed an appreciation of the impact employment litigation can have on an individual, as well as the overall effect it can have on an employer. Because of that understanding, Bridgette’s goal is to help clients minimize risks and avoid litigation by maintaining work environments that foster healthy employer-employee relationships.
