Jordan
Huttenlocker
The John Marshall Law School
Class of 2011
After graduating magna cum laude (and passing the Illinois and Indiana
bars), Jordan began her legal career with a medical malpractice
firm. Her experience during that first year led to her current job
at Dykema Gossett, where she focuses her practice on medical negligence
defense work. While Dykema may be considered a large firm, it has
provided her with priceless opportunities such as daily court appearances,
motion practice, deposition attendance, and expert witness contact
to name a few. She is thrilled to finally join the prestigious legal
profession. |
