    Practice Focus:

    Mrs. Junn’s primary focus has been the representation of physicians, physician medical groups, as well as health facilities and their nursing staff, administrators, owners and operators. Over the past 14 years, Mrs. Junn has been successfully defending her clients from lawsuits involving claims of medical malpractice, elder and dependent adult abuse, emotional distress, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, violation of statutory duties involving patient care, and cases involving catastrophic injuries and punitive damages.

    Mrs. Junn has also represented numerous physicians in pharmaceutical mass tort actions in California. In the mass tort action, In Re: Baycol Cases I & II, JCCP No. 4217 and 4233, Mrs. Junn not only represented individual physicians against medical malpractice claims, but also helped manage and coordinate the direction of the litigation on behalf of the physician defendants. Mrs. Junn worked with liaison counsel for the plaintiffs and drug manufacturer to engineer a successful strategy leading to the dismissal of many physician defendants.

    Mrs. Junn has provided counseling and conducted educational seminars to help her clients manage the risks of litigation through best practices.
