Practice Areas

Medical Malpractice 50%

Catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death resulting from medical negligence. I exclusively represent the injured person or family of one killed as a result of medical negligence.

37 years

50%
Birth Injury 20%

Medical providers and hospitals are adept at minimizing their fault for a child's birth injury, often indicating the child's injury was a "birth defect" or out of their control. I solely represent the child and his or her family and have obtained millions of dollars in compensation for children when many times the parents were under the impression that their child was simply "born that way." My experience can mean the difference between lifetime compensation for your child or not.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
