Michelle Replogle is an experienced intellectual property litigator and trial lawyer who focuses on patent and trade secrets disputes. She has significant trial experience in courts throughout the United States and in state court and has taken more than 10 trials to jury verdict.
Known for the passion and dedication she brings to resolving disputes for small companies as well as Fortune 500 multinationals, Michelle has represented clients on both the plaintiff and defendant sides. Delving into often convoluted, challenging facts and technical details to find the compelling simple story that resonates with a jury, Michelle has handled matters involving a broad range of technologies, including medical devices, cameras, software, energy, chemicals and mechanical oilfield tools and systems.
