    Areas Of Focus
    Litigation

    Virginia helps business owners, transportation companies and school systems resolve a variety of complex commercial disputes. She also guides domestic insurers through first-party property and third-party liability suits involving claims of:

    • Bad faith
    • Commercial transportation negligence
    • Construction defects
    • Premises liability
    • Property damage

    Experience seeing Louisiana hurricane claims through the state’s case management order allows Virginia to manage complex discovery on tight timelines. She also reviews residential and commercial policy language to build coverage opinions and assess risk.

    While in law school, Virginia served as a senior associate for the Louisiana Law Review.
