When Medicine Matters, Shouldn’t Your Lawyer Understand It?


Most lawyers encounter medicine in the courtroom. I learned it in the operating room.


For decades, I cared for patients with orthopaedic injuries and arthritic conditions. I also worked with attorneys and law firms across the country on medical malpractice and medical device litigation.


Today, I represent individuals and families seeking accountability for injuries caused by medical negligence or accidents.  My practice is focused on orthopedic injuries, combining firsthand medical experience with legal advocacy.


I intentionally accept a limited number of cases so that each client receives my full attention . I review every case myself.

Why a Surgeon-Attorney Makes a Difference


Medical negligence cases don't turn on legal arguments alone—they turn on medical facts. Having spent decades in the operating room before entering the legal profession, I bring firsthand surgical experience and clinical judgment to the evaluation of your case.

Understanding Clinical Decisions:

I understand how medical decisions are made, how complications develop, and how errors can arise within complex healthcare systems.

Reading Beyond the Medical Record:

I don't just read medical records. I understand the clinical reasoning behind them—and recognize important details, inconsistencies, and unanswered questions.

A Dual Medical-Legal Perspective:

Every case is evaluated through the eyes of both an experienced surgeon and an attorney, bringing clinical insight and legal judgment to complex medical questions.
