Overview
Caycee Hampton is a litigator concentrating on national and local defense of complex litigation for pharmaceutical, medical device, and cosmetic manufacturers. Her practice includes general product liability and mass tort, as well as class actions alleging consumer protection violations related to labeling, ingredients, and other issues.
Caycee represents clients throughout all phases of litigation, including trial support and post-trial litigation, in federal and state courts.
