She has performed more than 400 concerts throughout the United States.
Jeff Bradford has joined the firm’s Litigation Department. A 2013 graduate of University of Michigan Law School, he served as a summer associate at Tonkon Torp in 2012 and was a student law clerk in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Portland in the summer of 2011. As an extern at the University of Michigan Health System Legal Office, he prepared liability analyses of potential implications of federal regulations. Jeff held leadership positions in several student organizations while in law school, and was a contributing editor to the Journal of Law Reform. He is an active member of the J.
