Birth injury is a very specialized form of medical malpractice that requires a lawyer with experience, expertise and a knowledge of pediatric medicine.

Our Goal – to try to bring to parents as much information as possible to determine whether they have a case worthy of litigation and provide peace of mind that they have done all they can.
Our Approach – We are open and frank with parents – we say how it is – lead them down the right path.
We Recognize that parents consider it part of their parental duty to hook into the cause of why their child was so badly damaged at birth – often it is one of the reasons why they approach us – to feel that as child grows, they can know they have done whatever they could to see that the rights of the child have been pursued and protected.
** Nobody will protect the interests of a child more than their parents – we help them try to fulfill their parental obligations toward their child.
