Kelly M. Dermody, a partner at Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP , was one of the lucky attorneys to receive a 2007 CLAY award. Dermody won the award on behalf of her achievements in the litigation field.

"Ms. Dermody received the recognition for her representation of hundreds of thousands of uninsured patients who alleged that Sutter Health charged them excessive and unfair prices for medical treatment and engaged in aggressive and unfair collections practices. As a result of plaintiffs' litigation against Sutter Health, the hospital chain entered into a precedent-setting and comprehensive settlement that provided substantial monetary relief for all uninsured patient class members and required all of Sutter's 23 hospital affiliates to lower their prices for all uninsured patients going forward," a press release on Lieff Cabraser's website stated.

Dermody is also a member of a variety of bar associations including the Bar Association of San Francisco and the American Bar Association. She has also served on the Board of Directors for the National Center for Lesbian Rights and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area.
