Debra E. LeVorse is of counsel with Hawkins Parnell Thackston & Young LLP, and throughout her career, she has actively represented defendants in civil litigation matters. Debra’s experience includes representing all manners of medical professionals, from the inception of a claim through trial, which includes physicians, chiropractors, dentists, nurses, and nursing assistants. Currently, Debra primarily represents long-term care facilities, as well as home health, hospice, and national assisted living facilities in Georgia.

Debra has represented healthcare workers in thousands of depositions, and she is exceedingly familiar with the various testimonies and plaintiff’s strategies that may arise throughout the deposition process.

She uses her vast experience and knowledge of witness preparation at deposition as one of her key strategies, leading toward trial.
