A lady lawyer took two years to convince her law firm to let her try a case in court, there was no one who wanted the case that involved a multiple sclerosis victim with burns on his buttocks from a heating pad. Not only did she shock her firm when she won a verdict against the doctor who prescribed the pad even though MS patients lack heat sensitivity; but at age 37, she is also one of the most successful female personal injury lawyers in the country. Not only does she have seven damage awards of more than $ 1 million under her belt but she was also the first woman that the Inner Circle of Advocates, an exclusive club reserved for powerful plaintiffs' lawyers, accepted.
She prefers to engage in some combat and this is why this mother of three wants to do battle in court instead of remaining safely inside an office. Too quiet and reserved, this is a lawyer that cannot be compared to the stereotypical plaintiffs' lawyers like the king of torts or the cowboy hat wearing lawyer known for their booming voices and courtroom theatrics. The image of what a successful trial lawyer should be and the traditional image are the two images of trial lawyers. It is the fact that she's far from that image that she is aware of.
According to her, when people go to court, they usually pretend to be something that they are not. The money she has and her acceptance into the Inner Circle which is limited to 100 lawyers all came from her simply being herself. All members are lawyers who have brought at least 25 cases to trial and won at least one jury award of $ 1 million or more.
A member of the same club is her husband who has 38 verdicts of more than $ 1 million and is a prominent personal injury lawyer. You have an elite group when it comes to this where members can share information about various cases and get to refer lucrative businesses to each other. For she was a woman, her acceptance was debated at first as mentioned by the Tucson, Arizona lawyer who founded the Inner Circle. Eventually, her being a tough and sharing lawyer is what got her in.
Founded in 1972, the group does not discriminate against women, it is only during the past three years that members knew of women who qualified. This is an occupation that very few women pursue. You are dealing with a very tough, mean business here. She said that while there are more women becoming personal injury trial lawyers, they are still having a hard time breaking into this area of law.
Having a role in it is socialization. Considering how you have a clear adversarial relationship, some of which will continue after the fight is over, in a courtroom, it can be compared with a battle ground or an organized sport. Dealing with that on-going fight is the tough part for women.
When it comes to this kind of work, women do not get a lot of opportunities mainly because of the reluctance of the male dominated firms. By getting cases, you can strive for success. It took her two years to get this case that nobody was willing to take.
