Charlotte has broad experience in all phases of litigation—from investigation to appeal.  She has particular expertise with pretrial motion practice, and has obtained dismissal of claims via summary judgment in a range of matters such as: serious personal injury claims against oil and gas operators, premises liability claims against property owners, and coverage matters against insurers.  Charlotte has tried a number of cases in both state and federal courts, the majority of which resulted in either defense verdicts or favorable results for the client.  As a result of her attention to detail and her foresight, Charlotte has gravitated toward appellate work and is frequently called upon to act as in-trial appellate counsel, as well as post-judgment appellate counsel.  She has submitted briefs and argued cases in both state and federal courts of appeals.

Charlotte has spoken at various seminars, including:
Ethics in Claims/Medical Case Management, CEU Institute, Dallas (2015)
Technical Skills for Impeachment, State Bar of Texas 28th Annual Advanced Evidence & Discovery Course, Houston and San Antonio (2015)
