Nathaly N. Medina

Nathaly Medina is a senior associate at Walsworth who focuses her practice on toxic tort matters. She handles cases involving complex scientific, medical, and causation issues, and approaches each matter with a disciplined, analytical mindset. Her work emphasizes careful evaluation of responsibility and strategic engagement with evolving legal and regulatory frameworks. A skilled courtroom advocate, she brings trial experience to her practice and has first-chaired four jury trials to verdict with an undefeated record.

Nathaly brings a disciplined, human-centered approach to litigation shaped by her commitment to clarity, preparation, and fairness. She excels at distilling complex legal frameworks into accessible, compelling narratives that resonate with judges, jurors, and decision-makers. Her litigation style reflects a balance of composure and conviction. Clients value Nathaly’s ability to guide them through high-stakes disputes with steadiness, insight, and a clear understanding of their options.

Drawing on an academic background in film and television, Nathaly brings a strong command of narrative structure and issue framing to her legal analysis and case strategy. That perspective, combined with experience working in her family’s event planning business, sharpened her ability to manage pressure, client expectations, and competing priorities. Together, these experiences allow her to approach litigation with adaptability, empathy, and strategic focus.

Beyond her casework, Nathaly remains deeply connected to the broader community and the real-world impact of the legal system. She stays actively involved in housing equity efforts, including work with organizations focused on preventing homelessness and supporting housing stability. Across her practice, she remains guided by the principle that effective defense advocacy requires both rigorous analysis and a commitment to fair, evidence-based outcomes.
