About John
Biography
I am a native of Portland, Oregon, and have extensive experience as a trial lawyer representing clients involved in civil litigation. For the past 30 years, my practice has primarily focused upon defending medical malpractice lawsuits and, to a lesser extent, other complex civil litigation involving products liability and catastrophic injuries. I am one of only a few lawyers in the Pacific Northwest who has tried over 360 civil lawsuits through to a jury verdict in both Oregon and Washington state courts, as well as in federal court. I regularly defend doctors, midwives, nurses, hospitals and medical institutions in cases involving alleged birth trauma injuries, cancer misdiagnosis, and surgical mishaps, among other issues.
Over the course of my career, I have built a reputation for my thoroughness, fairness, and integrity. As a result, I am held in high regard by trial judges, opposing lawyers, and clients.
