Lynn
Foley began her career after graduating from the University of Michigan. She worked
as a registered nurse for three years while attending Wayne State University to obtain
her law degree. She graduated from law school in 1983.
Upon graduation, Lynn began practicing law exclusively in the area of medical malpractice.
She worked at two large firms for ten years before joining her partner, Terry Cochran,
with whom she attended law school. She has been in practice with Terry for the past
six years. Together they have offices in the Livonia and Flint areas.
Lynn continues to practice exclusively in the area of medical malpractice. By combining
her trial skills along with her nursing background, Lynn can truly be of service to
her Clients by providing them with an elevated level of quality of medical-legal expertise.
Her practice is unique, in that, she tries to handle a limited amount of cases at one
time so she can give each Client personal service.
Lynn handles all aspects of medical malpractice, but she has particular interest in
cases involving women and children's health issues such as failure to diagnose breast
cancer and birth trauma cases. Lynn recently recovered $1.2 Million ($1,200,000) Dollars
on behalf of a baby born with Spinal Bifida and Nine Hundred Thousand ($900,000) Dollars
on behalf of a baby born with Down Syndrome. She has handled a wide variety of malpractice
cases, including orthopedic malpractice, nursing home malpractice, failure to diagnose
lung, bone, brain and colon cancer.
Lynn has been a member of the Executive Board of the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association
for the past five years and a board member of the Negligent Section of the State Bar
of Michigan for the past year.
On the personal side, Lynn is married to a Tax Attorney and has three children. When
not practicing law, she enjoys gardening and spending time with her family.
