Practice Areas
Malpractice and healthcare litigation are complex areas of the law that can have devastating professional and financial impacts on doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals if not handled properly. Such litigation can also adversely affect hospitals, clinics, and the manufacturers of healthcare products and pharmaceuticals.
