Personal Statement

I am proud to represent injured consumers against corporate and professional misconduct, abuse, and greed. As a consumer attorney, I am dedicated to empowering individuals to stand up and have their voices heard on issues such as product safety and medical malpractice.  I find my work enormously necessary and satisfying. Currently, I am investigating the use and abuse of labor induction agents that may result in traumatic birth injuries to newborns.
