“Twenty years ago, a general surgeon told me it was unwise to look a physician in the eye and attempt to empathetically suggest ‘I know what you’re going through’. Truer words were never spoken; however with the representation of more than 800 health care providers, both in and out of the courtroom, I believe my experience has allowed me valuable insights into the concerns, angst, and needs of the medical professional as well as the ability to put that to work, successfully, in their defense.”
