About Elizabeth
Elizabeth S. Lawton originally joined the firm in 1993. She left the firm in 1997 to accept an appointment by Governor Cecil Underwood as Commissioner, West Virginia Bureau for Medical Services. As Commissioner, Mrs. Lawton had responsibility for administration of the Medicaid program in West Virginia. In that capacity, she regularly interacted with federal and state government officials, lawmakers and healthcare providers, and was instrumental in the development and implementation of healthcare policy in West Virginia. Mrs. Lawton also is a Registered Nurse with more than twenty years' experience.
Mrs. Lawton rejoined the firm as a member in 2001. She primarily practices in the areas of healthcare law, medical and product liability defense, and nursing home malpractice defense. Mrs. Lawton is uniquely qualified to practice in these areas, given her twenty years' experience as a Registered Nurse and her leadership role in the West Virginia Medicaid program.
