Coordination with Leading Experts


Our experience and integrity as lawyers have allowed us to establish good relationships with highly qualified, credible local and national specialists to serve as expert witnesses. Our contacts are not limited to the courtroom and provide access to specialists for consultation on strategy and the medical, legal and standard-of-care issues confronting our clients.

Adverse Experts


A significant challenge in many elder abuse cases is cross-examining the opposing party’s witnesses. We have seen cases dismissed or settled for minimal amounts after the deposition of the plaintiff’s expert who was forced to concede faulty assumptions, incomplete information, or an incorrect analysis that undermined their opinions.
