Rosalyn joined the firm in September of 2012. Her practice focuses primarily on civil litigation, with an emphasis on medical malpractice cases, and appellate work. In her first trial, she was part of the legal team that obtained an $8 million verdict in a wrongful death and Virginia slayer’s statute action. She has continued that success with multiple medical malpractice jury verdicts and settlements in excess of $1 million. In addition to her trial work, Rosalyn plays an integral role in the firm’s appellate practice, practicing before the Virginia Supreme Court and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Additionally, Rosalyn has worked on several of the firm’s high-profile white-collar criminal cases.

Rosalyn attended law school at the University of South Carolina. She graduated in 2010 in the top ten percent of her class and as a member of The Order of the Coif, a prestigious academic honor. While at USC, she served on the Law Review as an Articles Editor. Directly out of law school, Rosalyn was hired by the Office of Staff Counsel to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, based in Richmond, Virginia. She worked there for two years, performing research on pending appeals before the court and presenting proposed opinions to three-judge panels.

Beyond the practice of law, Rosalyn’s main interests revolve around her two daughters and two very important canines. First and foremost, her delightful golden retriever, Hank. Second, the Georgia Bulldogs’ college football team; a love that was fostered through her undergraduate education at UGA where she earned a degree in Biology. Additionally, Rosalyn enjoys training for and participating in triathlons and running events. To date, she has completed two Ironman triathlons.
