"I endorse this lawyer. Jack is the consummate trial attorney and expert in advocating for families that have a baby suffering from a birth trauma and malpractice. He is simply one of the best in that field in the entire United States. I first learned of Jack through my law partner Josh Tolin. I know Josh has deep respect for Jack and I believe that is well placed. If you child has suffered a birth trauma or injured by negligence you should call Jack."
