"Experience on both sides"
When it comes to mediations, perspective matters. With firsthand experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants, I understand the strategies, challenges and motivations on each side of the table. This balanced approach allows me to anticipate arguments, find common ground and craft fair, practical resolutions.
"The right experience for high-stakes medical malpractice cases"
With extensive experience in hospital and physician defense, I offer a strategic and balanced approach to medical malpractice mediation. I understand the complexity of these cases -from standard of care disputes to nuanced damages evaluations -and the importance of early resolution where possible. My experience on both sides of the courtroom allows me to anticipate arguments, assess risk effectively, and guide negotiations toward practical, results-driven solutions.
