I then worked in private practice handling medical malpractice, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and other personal injury cases for about two years. I tried an 8-day medical malpractice jury trial with co-counsel.. The following are my areas of expertise: Personal injury: car accidents, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, medical malpractice, truck accidents, bicycle accidents, motorcycle accidents, dog bites, slip/trip and fall, nursing home abuse or neglect. Consumer law: debt collection harassment; credit report errors; unfair and deceptive business practices. Our consumer rights practice is national, so we are able to help consumers across the country. We utilize state and federal laws that have fee-shifting provisions, meaning that the defendant we are suing has to pay our fees and costs. In other words, our clients never have to pay us to handle their consumer rights cases. In the last year alone, I settled over 120 consumer rights cases.
