"Employee benefit plans can be complex. I want to provide our clients with a map to enable them to get where they want to go, but I also want to counsel them about the potential detours, bottlenecks and hazards they may encounter along the way." More from Tammy's perspective

Ms. Killion's practice includes the health and welfare and fiduciary responsibility practice areas.  She works with clients on issues related to their employee benefit plans, including plan design, claims administration, compliance with ERISA's fiduciary responsibility provisions, and HIPAA requirements.  She is also involved in advising clients on legislative and regulatory initiatives.

Before joining Groom, Ms. Killion clerked for the Honorable Carlos F. Lucero of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and then joined the U.S. Department of Labor as an attorney in the Office of the Solicitor's Honors Program.  In private practice, she represented employers and plans in ERISA fiduciary litigation and employers in wage and hour litigation and appeals.  Her pro bono activities have included representing a social security disability claimant in administrative appeal and a non-profit dance company in appealing state unemployment insurance assessments.
