Profile Introduction
Quinn is a trial lawyer who maintains a general litigation practice with an emphasis on employment-related matters. She represents corporations and governmental entities in non-compete and trade secrets litigation, employment discrimination cases, and wage and hour matters. Quinn is pragmatic and efficient in her approach – she aims to counsel and advise her clients and negotiate with her opponents to minimize the risks and costs of litigation.
Prior to joining Summit Law Group, Quinn worked as an Assistant Public Defender with the Defender Association of Philadelphia. While there, she represented clients charged with serious felonies and tried hundreds of cases to verdict.
Outside of the office, you can find Quinn balancing poorly at barre class, wandering around Capitol Hill, and seeking out spicy Chinese food.
