I began my career in the legal services industry in 1983. For over forty years, I have focused on civil litigation. Since 1997, my primary interest has been personal injury litigation. Since 2000, my focus has been on medical malpractice litigation, representing injured patients. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 1985.
