My practice involves defending companies and individuals in civil tort litigation against a broad range of claims including professional and simple negligence, fraud, battery, strict liability. I frequently represent healthcare providers with matters from pre-suit investigation through appeal, and assist clients in interactions with the civil legal system where they are not directly sued, such as depositions, responding to subpoenas, requests for records, and government investigations.
