I have had the priviledge of trying cases from Virginia to California, and many places in between.  Representing the medical and nursing profession in today’s world requires a fast, responsive approach. Over the past 20+ years of my practice, my healthcare clients have become diversified across the State of Ohio and across the country.. In years past, clients used to only hire firms in the town where the matter was pending. This is no longer the case. With current technologies, we are connected to our complete resources 24/7 – no matter the jurisdiction. To truly concentrate on one field of practice requires we will be where you are, when you need us. Our philosophy is to put your interests first, provide an aggressive defense and examine those details that will differentiate our work from any other firm.. I have represented medical, nursing and healthcare cases for both large and small providers. Just as the plaintiff’s bar is becoming more organized and more focused, we are responding to this challenge. This has resulted in many successful outcomes.. I defend cases involving all areas of medicine including birth trauma, neonatology, nephrology, orthopedics, neurosurgery, general surgery, pediatric surgery, vascular surgery, pulmonology, internal medicine, family medicine, anesthesia, radiology, otolaryngology, pathology, physical therapy and many different issues involving nursing care.. The defense of such a diverse array of medical and nursing issues requires intensive coordination with the best experts in the field of your specialty to facilitate jury comprehension and understanding. This results in a high level of success on the most catastrophic cases.

I have a national litigation practice, handling ERISA and business/commercial litigation, and related DOL/IRS investigations.  I routinely work with large and small companies as well as senior executives to resolve their business, executive compensation and ERISA disputes.
