I work exclusively in the health care area, representing health care providers of all types: health care systems, freestanding hospitals, ancillary service providers, physician groups and individual physicians. My goal is to help my clients be successful while operating within the complex regulatory framework that exists in the health care industry.Specialties: Regulatory compliance, including Stark Law, fraud and abuse, state regulatory and accreditation compliance; transactional work, medical staff disciplinary and peer review matters, risk management and operational issues, state and federal licensure and certification issues.Disclaimer: "The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements."

I strive to forge a trusted counselor relationship with each and every client: a personal and client direct approach, coupled with over thirty years of practical experience to guide clients through difficult commercial problems.  If you are looking for counsel you can trust, who will concentrate on what is important to you, and who has the ability to craft creative strategies and solutions--you may want to talk with me.  Sometimes solutions may be achieved through informal negotiation or alternative dispute resolution forums.  Or trial may be necessary.  Either way, your problem will be addressed with your objectives in mind, and a firm grasp of what does and does not provide clients the value they deserve.. I am centrally based in St. Louis, a wonderful community in which to raise a family. I served on our local School Board in an award winning school district for nearly a decade, including a term as President, in my hometown of Webster Groves, a historic and pleasant bedroom community west of downtown St. Louis.    My outside interests include golf, fly fishing, 20th Century History, management and leadership learning, and supporting my teams- the Blues, the Cardinals, and the Rams.  Although I do not have the time to maintain my former proficiency, I am an accomplished trumpet player and enjoyed performing with the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra, various jazz and rock bands, my college jazz band, and the Washington University Wind Ensemble during law school.. I am active in my community and the business community.  I approach each day with gratitude and a sense of humor.  I consider myself fortunate.

I help individuals who have been injured by the carelessness or recklessness of others. I believe it's important and my obligation to ensure the rights of those whose lives have been damaged not only physically but also in economic and extremely personal ways because an individual, a corporation, an insurance company, a government entity, or a hospital disregarded a safety rule and needlessly endangered them. In this belief and effort I have argued before both state and federal courts on behalf of individuals, researched and drafted memoranda in premises, uninsured motorist, trucking, and Section 1983 Civil Rights cases, as well as drafted arguments on Appeal. Most of the cases handled by my office settle. However, the five lawyers in our firm, including my brother and father, are trial lawyers. In combination we have tried over 350 jury trials. I am blessed to be a part of a profession and work for a firm that strives to ensure the dignity of every human being, despite power, despite wealth, despite intellect or accomplishment.
