JILL'S AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Being an effective lawyer is about experience with a particular subject matter. It's also about legal analysis capabilities; having a strategic mind for considering the facts and the law; and being sensible - and upstanding - about the fairness issues. It's about knowing what you don't know as much as what you know. As a litigator, it's about skills, confidence and preparation in the courtroom, the conference room and at the deposition. Jill has expertise as described throughout this website, as well as these more general - but crucial - skills.
