Ms. Fritz dedicates herself to providing thorough and in-depth legal services while counseling her clients who face the unique and immensely challenging work of providing health care in a correctional setting.

Ms. Fritz's dedication to her clients and cases and never-give-up attitude continues on in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals where she has successfully briefed and argued a variety of legal issues central to correctional medicine. Prior to practicing in the area of civil litigation, she spent two years working at the Madison County State's Attorney's Office as an intern prosecutor where she conducted several successful misdemeanor bench trials.
