Tyra Mendez Elevated to Director

The firm is pleased to announce the elevation of Tyra Mendez to Director.

Tyra’s practice focuses on legal malpractice defense, real estate broker and insurance broker defense, defense of Directors & Officers, employment law, personal injury, and general business litigation. Among her notable successes, Tyra secured a summary judgment victory in a legal malpractice arbitration last year.

Most recently, she played a key role in a major automobile injury case that ultimately settled for substantially less than the plaintiff’s pretrial demand. In addition, her appellate practice includes obtaining a published decision after arguing before the First District Court of Appeal on a SLAPP motion.

Congratulations, Tyra!
