Patients, and their families, who have suffered serious harm as a result of medical negligence by a doctor or healthcare institution, are my clients. Together, we seek compensation and justice to prevent medical errors and systematic hospital mistreatment. I will support your claim with empathy and skill. Contact me at 212-974-6100. As an attorney with a lifelong interest in medicine, I advocate for clients by shining a light on preventable medical errors and systematic hospital negligence in order to improve the medical system. I have successfully handled hundreds of cases involving failure to diagnose serious medical conditions and mistreatment of patients, leaving a person in a debilitated state or even to death. Some examples are: • Birth Injury and Trauma • Emergency Department Malpractice • Failure to Diagnose • Fertility and Reproductive Negligence • Infection • Nursing Home Injury • Wrongful Death Complex cases like these take time. You will have my support throughout the process. Empathetically listen to your experience. Conduct research and scour medical records. Develop strategy to present case. Advocate for you with opposing counsel for medical professionals and insurance companies. In planning the narrative of your case, I draw on my skills as a former television reporter. I will identify expert medical witnesses whose testimony will illuminate where the medical professionals overlooked a sign of distress or made an error in judgement. I lecture nationally on medical and legal issues and publish articles on trial strategy and medical issues. Clients tell me “I don’t want what happened to me to happen to someone else,” which is why I focus on systematic and procedural reform. Perhaps I can help you achieve solace and compensation for your or your family member’s experience of medical malpractice.
