Ms. Creed’s litigation practice primarily focuses on defending major insurance companies involving life, health, and disability insurance, including matters involving individual, ERISA group, and non-ERISA group plans and allegations of bad faith, consumer fraud, rescission, and agent liability. Ms. Creed has also litigated several other matters involving commercial transactions, mortgages, banking, garnishments, breach of contract claims, and broker-dealer negligence, including Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) actions.

In addition to the firm’s extensive litigation practice, Ms. Creed focuses a substantial amount of time working with clients on pre-litigation matter assessments and resolutions. Ms. Creed’s practice also includes protection and enforcement of the subrogation and reimbursement rights of ERISA plan holders and medical insurance companies and their affiliates in a variety of tort and workers’ compensation actions. Ms. Creed and others at d’QM also provide substantive contract review and negotiation for both small and large companies.

d’QM serves as national counsel in insurance, annuity and retirement benefit interpleader actions for several major insurance companies throughout the country. Ms. Creed plays a lead role in the program’s management and litigation of those matters.  When serving as national counsel in these Interpleader actions, d’QM substantively handles the case from matter inception, beginning with initial investigative work to determine the necessary party-claimants and legal issues involved, through case resolution, requiring deposit or other distribution of the proceeds at issue and dismissal of all claims against the company, including successful defeat of bad faith, breach of contract and other extra-contractual claims alleged. In this role, Ms. Creed also has extensive experience effectively and efficiently managing and collaborating with local counsel firms throughout the country.
