Healthcare Liability Defense
For over thirty years, area hospitals and physicians have selected this Office to defend them in medical malpractice cases. -
Healthcare Counseling
Because reasoned advice and well structured protocols avoid litigation, hospitals have turned to this firm’s litigators for counseling on a wide variety of legal issues. -
General Business Litigation
Corporate clients have also tapped into the Office’s extensive trial experience to gain an “advocacy edge” in their business litigation. Those truly knowledgeable about litigation realize that true trial experience is becoming a lost art. -
Meritorious Injury Claims
Our two primary strengths: 1) trial success and experience and 2) knowledge of the medicine, have been invaluable assets to our clients with meritorious injury claims in fields other than medical malpractice, such as vehicular accident, products liability and other personal injury.
