About Joseph

My work as an Assistant U.S. Attorney gave me a deep appreciation for the power of the prosecutor to impact a person or company's well-being. In the criminal context, it helped me to learn how to objectively analyze a case and dig deep into the facts because initial appearances can truly be misleading. In the civil context, I helped defend medical malpractice cases against the federal government. I represented the Veterans Hospital, the Marine Corps Hospital, the Navy Hospital, the U.S. Air Force Clinic, and federally funded Health Care Centers. My time as an AUSA gave me broad trial court experience.
