LEGISLATIVE & REGULATORY COMMUNICATIONS

A Verdict Changes One Case. The Right Coverage of It Can Change the Law.

Communications support for turning a single-plaintiff verdict into public pressure for industry-wide reform. Kept general here by design — active work on these matters is confidential and matter-specific; nothing below identifies a bill, a state, or a client.

$190M Settlement
Nearly 9,000 claimants, one wire story I ran communications on.
Direct Access
Karen picks up. No associates, no account managers, no hand-offs.
12-Hour Audit
A written check of the public record on your case before you decide anything.

This is public-record and public-press work, not private advocacy — I don't register as a lobbyist, and I don't meet with legislators or their staff on a client's behalf. What I do is work the story: I'm based in Washington, DC, where the national press corps covering statute-of-limitations reform actually lives, and where I built those relationships first, as a reporter covering exactly this kind of story. When a hearing, a markup, or a bill introduction is already scheduled and already public, I make sure the reporters covering it have the case's facts before the defense's do.

THE PROCESS

Five Steps, Regardless of Subject Matter

01
Identify the Barrier
Recognizing when a case has surfaced a structural problem bigger than one client's facts.
02
Align the Public Message
Aligning survivor advocates and other attorneys behind one public account, so reporters hear a consistent story instead of several competing ones.
03
Shape the Public Case for Reform
Translating what a deadline costs a survivor into a story the public and the press can follow, always with consent.
04
Time the Coverage, Not the Vote
Timing press coverage to hearings, floor votes, and session deadlines that are already public and already scheduled — not a generic press calendar.
05
Follow Through After Passage
Watching implementation, because a law applied incorrectly hasn't opened the door it was written to open.

If a Deadline Is the Real Obstacle in Your Case.

If a case you're working has surfaced a legal barrier bigger than its own facts, let's talk about whether it's a reform effort worth building.
