Julie C. Anderson

JULIE C. ANDERSON, a second generation native Houstonian, earned her undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University (B.S. in Nursing, magna cum laude, 1973) and her graduate degree from Texas Woman's University (M.S. in Nursing, 1979). Her 13-year career in nursing spanned adult cardiovascular intensive care as a bedside nurse, general hospital/nursing issues in nursing administration and education, and general adult medical surgical nursing while teaching in the baccalaureate nursing program at Houston Baptist University. After deciding to change her focus of practice, Julie returned to school and earned her law degree from University of Houston (J.D., 1989).

Julie's primary area of practice is now and has always been the defense of hospitals in medical malpractice litigation. With her special empathy and respect for the health care profession, Julie has a particular affinity for the nurses and other hospital and medical staff whom she represents. Also, because of her long-standing interest in professional peer review issues, Julie has developed part of her practice in the non-litigation area of medical and nursing peer review, credentialing, and staffing matters for a variety of hospitals in the greater Houston area.

Julie is a member of the Houston Bar Association, State Bar of Texas, American Bar Association, and the Greater Houston Society of Healthcare Risk Management. She married "the boy next door" and spends her leisure time painting, gardening and cooking.
