Hello there!. First, let me address the obvious. Yes I was disciplined early on in my practice. But, like so many, my mistakes do not define who I am and certainly does not define who I am now.

For most of my life I remember always wanting to help people.. After my brother died in a hospital, I focused my practice towards victims of medical malpractice.. A caring lawyer can be the greatest comfort during a time of uncertainty.. But as I looked around at my profession I saw a lack of integrity, honesty and knowledge in this complicated area of the law.. I saw people who value money above their client's best interests.  We all take an oath but many don't follow it.. So, I resolved to be different and to practice differently.. I avoided the overhead of a big firm and started a personalized practice with my clients getting all the attention from me, an actual lawyer...and not a paralegal or secretary.. If you are interested in working with an attorney who cares about both winning your case and helping you heal please contact me for a free consultation on your case.. Thank you,. Ramesh
