I am a trial lawyer who represents people who have been harmed by medical professionals. In 2020, I obtained a 2.8M verdict on behalf of a couple who suffered injuries following the delivery of their baby by a midwife who failed to timely diagnose and treat birth injuries. I am especially interested in representing women in cases involving obstetrics and gynecology but represent all kinds of patients who have suffered all kinds of injuries in the process of seeking medical care.. I have been in private practice since 2013, following working from 2009 through 2011 as a law clerk and from 2011 to 2013 as an associate attorney for a prominent Portland personal injury attorney and member of the American College of Trial Lawyers. I have handled civil litigation on behalf of plaintiffs involving medical negligence for the past eleven years, recovering over 7 million dollars in settlements and verdicts on behalf of my clients during that time. I have successfully resolved cases in Oregon against Oregon Health & Science University, Providence Health & Services, Oregon Emergency Physicians, Women's Healthcare Associates, and The Corvallis Clinic, as well as individual midwives and chiropractors in cases for injuries including obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS), chemical burns, ruptured colon, dental injuries, nerve injuries, thyroid damage, and failed D&C, among others.. I also handle other civil actions involving vehicle collisions, intentional torts including battery and conversion, premises liability, fraud, misrepresentation and unfair trade practices, cases against drunk drivers and social hosts, and cases involving sexual abuse and abuse of vulnerable persons.

I am an experienced medical malpractice trial attorney, and have tried more than 125 jury trials in state and federal courts. My practice focuses on medical malpractice defense, health law, and employment defense, and I have tried numerous “wrongful” death and catastrophic injury cases, as well as large numbers of severe injury cases ranging from complex surgical complications to brain injuries to alleged delayed diagnosis of cancer. My clients include medical, dental, and nursing professionals and organizations in arbitrations, mediations, and numerous regulatory matters.. Since joining Hart Wagner in 2002, I have developed an active trial practice in which I represent Oregon Health & Science University in medical and dental malpractice lawsuits, as well as a host of other hospitals, clinics, physicians and dentists in Oregon, including, as examples, physicians insured by CNA and The Doctors’ Company, clinics such as The Oregon Clinic and The Portland Clinic, and hospitals such as Adventist Health, Tuality Hospital, and Kaiser Foundation. I also represent Rite Aid pharmacies in pharmacy litigation and have developed a practice defending food-borne illness cases. I have been retained by the State of Oregon Department of Justice to represent various medical professionals in complex civil rights cases involving medical issues.. In 1980, I became Trial Counsel for Oregon Health & Science University, where I was OHSU’s trial attorney through 2002, with exclusive responsibility for trial defense of all medical, nursing, and dental malpractice claims and lawsuits against the University and its faculty and students during those two decades.. In 1977, I became Assistant Attorney General in the Trial Division of the Oregon Department of Justice, where I gained early litigation experience defending the State of Oregon in a wide variety of trials involving personal injury, civil rights, and complex litigation. The range of trial issues included claims against the State involving alleged use of excess force or false arrest by State Troopers, alleged failure to prevent child abuse of children who were wards of the State, car crashes involving cars driven by public employees, car crashes because of missing stop signs or icy roads or highway construction/design, and injuries and deaths from accidents at State parks.. When not practicing law, I spend as much time as possible in and around water. I have rafted most of the rivers in the Pacific Northwest and led private groups down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon on three different multi-week trips. I have recently developed a passion for standup paddling on local lakes and rivers and also love to sail. As much as time permits, I can be found on my Sabre 426 sailboat in the Puget Sound, leeward rail buried, sails trimmed and full, grinning from ear to ear.
