Most recently, she served as co-plaintiff’s counsel on a federal indemnity action, which was tried in February 2017 and resulted in a unanimous jury verdict in favor of the surety.
Brooks has been a co-author of the Ohio and Kentucky chapters of the Surety Underwriter’s Desk Book for the American Bar Association since 2013, and she also authored the Kentucky portion of an industry report on surety bad faith.
