Having spent the first part of my career as a doctor, once I transitioned to law it seemed appropriate to devote my practice to medical malpractice cases.  Initially I worked to defend medical professionals against medical malpractice claims while now I work to help those that have been wrongfully injured as a result of negligent care provided by medical professionals.  My experience within the medical arena provide me with a strong set of tools to truly evaluate the medical tasks, and duties that might have helped protect the injured.
