Kirsten handles dispositive motions, post-trial motions, and appeals, with a focus on various aspects of tort liability, such as construction negligence, premises liability, car accidents, and product liability. In this capacity, she takes pride in her ability to come up with novel arguments, which sometimes work when more traditional ones will not. Kirsten finds it especially satisfying when these efforts lead to positive results both for her clients and for others in similar situations: when the appellate court issues a ruling in one of her cases, it often becomes precedent, meaning that it has ramifications that go beyond the immediate parties.
This interest in improving society at large is what first drew Kirsten to practice law. After taking a college course dealing with landmark decisions by the United States Supreme Court, she realized that, by going into the law as a career, she could meaningfully contribute to making lasting changes that might help the most disadvantaged in our country, in keeping with her longstanding deep belief in equal justice for all.
