Experience

Aging Services

Early in her career, Spencer spent several months shadowing local administrators to learn how these facilities operate and comply with state and federal regulations. She uses her “boots on the ground” training and thorough knowledge of the regulatory requirements to assist her team in developing the most effective defense in cases involving understaffing, inadequate training/supervision, abuse and neglect, decubitus ulcers, transfer injuries, and falls. Spencer has successfully mediated and arbitrated these cases on behalf of both individuals and corporations as well as in the context of class action litigation.

Medical Malpractice

Since the beginning of her litigation career, Spencer’s practice has included the defense of health care professionals in medical malpractice actions. She has had the opportunity to represent health care providers in defense of alleged negligence care and treatment, misdiagnoses, medication and surgical errors, lack of informed consent, personal injuries, and wrongful death. Spencer uses her knowledge and experience in this area to assist various practice groups within the firm but particularly in defending health care professionals.
