Experience

For many years, I have been dedicated to solely representing individuals and families harmed by the carelessness or inattention of others, with a primary focus on medical malpractice.
My 35 years of experience as a medical malpractice lawyer has been broad and includes the successful prosecution of numerous claims against hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare providers, practicing across a wide variety of medical specialties.

The knowledge, skills, and experience gained in the complex area of medical malpractice law have enabled me to be an effective advocate for clients who have suffered serious injury or loss in other settings, particularly automobile and tractor trailer accidents, and defective medical device and drug claims.
