Bridget has practiced in commercial litigation, including class actions and other complex cases, and white collar criminal defense/internal investigations. Bridget has represented individuals and companies (including Fortune 100) in a variety of sectors: pharmaceutical, investment banking, life insurance, energy, accounting, defense procurement, and management consulting. She has litigated in a number of federal courts, including the successful representation in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit of a major oil company that overturned the enforcement of an adverse foreign judgment. Mobil Oil Co. de Venezuela v. Jimenez, 948 F.2d 1282 (4th Cir. 1991). She also has practiced in a number of state courts, including family court, and in arbitration proceedings. She has participated in a number of internal investigations on behalf of boards of directors and special committees. Such investigations help directors to fulfill their fiduciary duties by revealing areas of noncompliance or the need for improved corporate governance; this provides a proactive response to actual or anticipated governmental investigations by the SEC, the U.S. Congress, FDIC or the U.S. Attorney’s office, for example. Bridget worked in the Washington, D.C. office of Debevoise & Plimpton from 1989-96, when she relocated to Kentucky.
Bridget served as lead counsel to U.S. Sen. Rand Paul as amicus curiae in Department of Health and Human Serv., et al., v. State of Florida, et al. (U.S. 2012), the constitutional challenge to the individual mandate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell in 2015 appointed Bridget to the eight-person Congressional Commission to Consider a National Women's History Museum in Washington D.C.
She is the Chair of The McConnell Center at The University of Louisville.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
