She has extensive experience defending correctional medical, dental, and mental health providers across the country against Section 1983 deliberate indifference claims.
Ms. Stark focuses her practice on professional liability matters, including the defense of healthcare providers, veterinarians, attorneys, insurance agents and brokers, directors and officers, real estate agents and brokers, and architects and engineers.
