Walter | Haverfield Expands Its Litigation Team


April 27, 2018

 

Committed to its mission of offering superior service to a wide range of clients, Walter Haverfield has hired Jessica Bradburn Loucks to its Litigation team.

Loucks is a passionate, young attorney with experience in various phases of complex civil litigation. Her background includes in-depth involvement on a defense team for a Fortune 500 global science company. She worked extensively on all aspects of the multidistrict litigation consisting of numerous, novel claims of personal injury and wrongful death. As part of that team, she helped implement a process to timely remove and transfer more than 2,000 complaints from state court into federal court.

“Jessica’s skills as well as her dedication to the job truly impress us,” said Ralph Cascarilla, head of Walter Haverfield’s Litigation team. “We are honored to have her on our team.”

Loucks previously served as a legal extern with the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association. There, she was the driving force behind the development and creation of a pilot program offering legal services in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. She also served as a member of the Police Reform Practicum, working with the Cleveland Community Police Commission to improve police-community relations.

A graduate of the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, Loucks is a native of Rochester, NY and resides in Rocky River with her family. She earned her undergraduate degree from Bowling Green State University.
