Dina belongs to Lewis Wagner's Litigation, Professional Negligence, and Drug & Medical Device practice groups. Dina has more than ten years of litigation experience, focusing on the defense of complex, drug and medical device, products liability, and professional negligence lawsuits. Dina represents individuals and companies at both the trial and appellate levels. She has tried numerous jury trials throughout the state and has been involved in a wide number of appeals to the Indiana Court of Appeals, Indiana Supreme Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

Since graduating cum laude from the Indiana University School of Law in 1995, Dina has been heavily involved in representing pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers. In the 1990's, she served as local co-defense counsel in literally hundreds of lawsuits involving silicone breast implants. From 1995 to 2000, she defended numerous orthopaedic bone screw cases that were part of multi-district litigation. In these cases, Dina was successful in helping her client win several summary judgment awards. Dina also served on the defense team for blood plasma product manufacturers in Indiana's AIDS/hemophiliac litigation. For more than a decade, Dina has been named on the exclusive national panel counsel list of Medmarc Insurance Group, a leading insurer of life science liability risks, defending medical device manufacturers and distributors in cases ranging from orthopaedic implants, ambulatory infusion pumps, to dialysis equipment.  At Medmarc's 2007 Annual Defense Counsel Meeting, Dina was recognized on Medmarc's "Honor Roll" for her exceptional service to the company and its policyholders.  The "Honor Roll" recognition was based upon input from Medmarc's management, claim staff, and clients.  

Dina has also defended lawyers, law firms, and other professional clients against claims of malpractice. Because these claims often go to the very heart of what it means to be a professional, Dina has adopted a unique approach to handling these cases. Dina investigates and evaluates liability exposure promptly, considers alternative dispute resolution measures early, and, for those claims that cannot be resolved amicably, mounts an aggressive, thorough defense, all the while keeping her client and client's carrier fully advised of the legal and factual landscape.  Dina has extensive experience managing electronic discovery and document-intensive legal malpractice cases, and she has been involved in a number of high-exposure claims against prominent Indianapolis law firms.  She is an active member of the Professional Liability Committee of the Defense Research Institute and the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Lawyers' Professional Liability.  She currently serves as the co-editor of the "Professional Liability Litigation Alert," a quarterly publication of the ABA Litigation Section's Professional Liability Committee.

Dina lectures frequently in the areas of litigation and trial tactics and has taught seminars on evidence, trial notebooks, jury instructions, deposition strategies, expert discovery, and wrongful death litigation. She has also published articles on topics ranging from expert scientific evidence to developments in Indiana product liability law.
