Biography
Kaleigh dedicates her class practice to holding corporations accountable for harms they cause to their customers and to the public at large.
She represents plaintiffs in consumer protection class actions around the country, serving as lead counsel, co-lead counsel, or as a member of the plaintiffs executive committee in numerous data breach and consumer class actions. Unlike many of her peers, Kaleigh has tried a class action lawsuit to verdict: she served as co-lead trial counsel in Larsen v. PTT, LLC, Case No. 3:18-cv-05275 (W.D. Wash.), in which a federal jury awarded $17.7 million in actual damages and over $7 million in enhanced damages under Washington’s Consumer Protection Act for a certified class of individuals who had spent money on the defendant’s illegal gambling games.
Kaleigh also represents individual clients in cases involving commercial, contract, and partnership disputes. She works with clients on finding a practical approach to meeting their needs in litigation, including trial if necessary; Kaleigh has served as lead or co-lead trial counsel in both state and federal court, and for both jury and bench trials.
Before she started in private practice, Kaleigh completed a federal clerkship with the Honorable Robert H. Cleland in the Eastern District of Michigan.
