She advises hospital CEOs, risk managers, and chief nursing personnel on a daily basis providing clarity and thoughtful advice on the day-to-day challenges of Idaho’s small rural hospitals. That said, she is counsel to many of the state’s primary hospitals and regularly consults on the unique issues facing larger hospitals. She successfully defends these institutions in claims of malpractice, working closely with the co-defendant physicians and their counsel. Ms. Brizee is a veteran in the courtroom and is well known to all of the judges in Southern and Eastern Idaho. She manages all forms of civil litigation from the Twin Falls office, and has tried multiple cases acting as primary and secondary trial counsel involving everything from auto accident disputes to complex medical malpractice litigation.
She has extensive experience working with the judiciary as an attorney representative on the Idaho Supreme Court’s Civil Rules Advisory Committee, and various subcommittees. Due to her family’s long history in Idaho, as well as her nearly 30 years of practice, she has had many interactions with the judiciary outside of the courtroom on volunteer projects, and in social settings. Her law partner is also a former Judge.
