Groundbreaking Employment and Labor Law Advocacy

She has successfully litigated against major banks, insurance carriers, car dealerships, and governmental entities.

- Hostile work environment claims and sexual harassment litigation.
- Workplace discrimination based on race, sex, national origin, age, and disability.
- Retaliation claims and whistleblower protections for reporting corporate misconduct.
- Wage and hour disputes, non-payment of wages, and unpaid overtime compensation.
- Severance agreement reviews and wrongful termination litigation.
Comprehensive Divorce and Family Law Representation
Family disputes require an advocate who balances empathetic counsel with fierce protection of parental and property rights. BC Cornish represents clients through every phase of family legal matters, from amicable agreements to high-conflict courtroom battles.

Serious Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Litigation
Negligent corporations and careless drivers must be held accountable when innocent lives are altered. BC Cornish conducts relentless investigations into catastrophic accidents, such as securing a landmark 10.5 million dollar settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit involving a commercial 18-wheeler after exposing the driver falsified logs.
