Suzanne DeCopain later took a job at one of Tampa Bay’s preeminent insurance defense firms. She provided coverage analysis to several insurance companies, handled countless depositions, and argued motions throughout the state.

Suzanne DeCopain joined a nationwide firm continuing to represent insurance carriers and expanded her representation to handling employment matters including wage claims and discrimination claims on behalf of companies.
