Her litigation portfolio is diverse and deep, and includes first-party bad faith insurance claims, professional liability claims, commercial claims, business disputes, complex insurance coverage disputes, and Section 1983 civil rights actions.
Before joining Dinsmore, Christine practiced at national law firms where she represented Fortune 100 companies and other large businesses. She is also experienced in the defense of professional liability claims, which includes securing a defense verdict in a legal malpractice jury trial and succeeding on the client's counterclaim for unpaid attorneys' fees.
