Top Best Personal Injury Lawyers | 16278 Available

I handle a variety of personal injury, civil rights, and commercial litigation matters, but specialize in representing individuals seriously harmed as the result of substandard medical care. I am motivated by injustice and a sense of fair play, and seek accountability on behalf of those who have been hurt or killed by carelessness, errors, or systemic deficits in nursing homes, prisons, hospitals, and long-term care facilities.. Before devoting my practice to representing individuals and families, I spent years representing large institutions—insurers, businesses, and governmental entities—in commercial litigation, insurance coverage, civil rights, and personal injury cases. Having extensively defended complex cases, I anticipate how the defense will approach a case, and my clients benefit from my perspective and insight in evaluating claims, negotiating settlements, and presenting cases at trial.. I am listed in Best Lawyers in America for my work in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, I have been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star every year since 2012, and I have been named a Leading Lawyer in Insurance Law by Milwaukee Magazine.
