Medical malpractice defense has always been a core component of the Firm's professional liability defense practice.  We have represented numerous health care providers, including hospitals, nursing homes, physicians, dentists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in a wide variety of healthcare malpractice actions for over 30 years.  As a result of years of experience, we are sensitive to the particular stresses and concerns that a malpractice claim imposes on the healthcare provider. We recognize that effective communication is key to a successful outcome.  While we conduct aggressive discovery, we do not engage in filing needless motions that result in costly delay.

Our experience is both broad and deep, involving virtually every medical specialty and claims of damages up to eight figures.  Our lawyers regularly presents seminars for continuing medical education on current areas of interest to the healthcare industry.
