About Susan
My practice is a mix of business litigation and insurance cases. I regularly represent clients in state and federal courts throughout NC in business disputes. Typical claims are: breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, unfair competition, fraud, defamation, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair and deceptive trade practices, and other statutory violations. I have represented both policyholders and insurers in insurance coverage disputes. I also represent dentists in malpractice cases and in disciplinary proceedings. I have extensive experience in e-discovery and regularly assist clients in responding to subpoenas in civil cases, as well as government/administrative actions.
