Caitlin has been a successful litigator since she started practicing law in 2009. She has dedicated her entire professional career to defense work, with over a decade’s worth of experience defending long term care facilities, physicians, and healthcare providers of all specialties. Over the course of her career, she has successfully defended clients in both Trial and Arbitration settings against allegations of breaches in the standard of care.

Caitlin joined MMPO Defense in July of 2023 as a Senior Trial Attorney, wanting to focus her skills solely on defending providers in the medical malpractice setting. Regardless of the healthcare setting, Caitlin is aware of the difficult, yet critical decisions her clients make on a daily basis, and works diligently to provide her clients with the representation required to defend those decisions and to support the good care they provide. She works hand-in-hand with her clients to help them understand the litigation process, and to help develop a plan of action that will prepare them for their participation along the way.

Caitlin is admitted to practice in the State and Federal Courts of Florida, including the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida, and is also licensed to practice in Connecticut where she was born and raised. She is also admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court.

In addition to her active legal practice, Caitlin continues to work as a Volunteer with the Ronald McDonald House of Tampa Bay, where she has served in that capacity for over a decade. She currently resides in St. Petersburg, Florida with her husband and daughter.
