Associates and support staff interact with her on case preparations and courthouse filings, and senior attorneys consult on strategy and settlement options.

Outside the office, Coffman has participated in continuing legal education and professional activities that keep her current on procedural and substantive developments. She values staying abreast of changes in rules and statutes that affect daily practice. Maintaining that familiarity informs how she advises clients about litigation timelines and transactional risks.
