For the last 16 years Ms. Lavrin has used her background in nursing, defense law and risk management to prosecute cases involving medical malpractice in a number of medical specialties, including birth injuries, the late diagnosis of cancer, emergency room and surgical mistakes and nursing home negligence, recovering millions of dollars on behalf of her clients.

Prior to joining WVFO in 2017, she managed her own law firm in Easton and Cambridge, Maryland, where she concentrated on representing victims of medical mistakes, as well as assisting other law firms with their medical cases. Her background in nursing allows her to quickly and effectively review and understand the medical records, choose the most effective medical experts and consult with experts on an advanced level. She has litigated cases in Maryland at both the state and the federal level and has been admitted pro hac vice in the District of Columbia and the states of Tennessee, Virginia, New York and Florida. Additionally, Ms. Lavrin has drafted briefs and argued cases before the Maryland Court of Special Appeals.

Ms. Lavrin strongly believes in a close relationship with her clients and educating them on their medical issues. Many times she has found that her clients and their loved ones were not provided a careful explanation of the care they received, and are appreciative of a discussion of the medical facts and history using straight forward and simple language.

Ms. Lavrin has lived most of her life in Maryland and is the mother of twins who are currently in college. While she lives and works in the Baltimore area during the week, Ms. Lavrin spends weekends on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where she enjoys time with her husband and her hobbies of kayaking and gardening.
