Ms. Tynan excels at working with management to set realistic goals and to make smart business decisions regarding the economics of litigation. Her "real world" experience prepared her to speak effectively for employers in defending OSHA citations, and employment and "serious and willful misconduct" claims.
Ms Tynan's career in the Merchant Marine, culminating as a First Mate on Chevron tankers, provided her with a "no nonsense" approach to problem-solving. It also gave her a practical understanding of how safety, industrial hygiene, and OSHA compliance issues should be handled in the workplace.
