Steve didn't stop until he uncovered the truth about Jordan's Birth Injury
Steve did an incredible job for one of our CPFamily Network families, the Longs and their son Jordan, Because of hospital and doctor mistakes at his birth, Jordan was born with severe brain damage that left him with cognitive impairment, and a form of cerebral palsy known as spastic quadriplegia, which significantly restricts the ability to use arms and legs and control bodily functions.

Incredible work on my Tennessee Birth Injury case
After other attorneys turned us down, Steve research the case and found serious errors happened at the birth of my son Jordan. A Memphis jury has found that delays in performing an urgently needed cesarean section resulted in his developing severe brain damage and cerebral palsy and awarded him $33.5 million to cover the cost of future health care needs and other damages.
