Kristina Dukanac represents clients in product liability matters with a focus in the automotive industry. Her litigation experience spans the automotive, insurance and healthcare industries, where she has defended clients facing complex high-stakes claims across multiple jurisdictions.

She has served as second chair in multiple high-exposure jury trials in multiple states, supporting all phases of litigation from strategy development and cross-examinations to pre- and post-trial motions. Kristina’s work includes managing a demanding trial docket, conducting and defending depositions of fact witnesses, medical professionals, corporate representatives and preparing clients for testimony. She approaches each matter with careful preparation and a strategic, yet creative mindset, aiming to deliver successful results for clients.  

Kristina’s passion for law is driven by the constant intellectual challenge, requiring her to think critically, adapt quickly and solve problems.
