His work emphasizes serious injuries that have lasting impacts, including cases where patients will need ongoing medical care for the remainder of their lives.

Medical Malpractice and Catastrophic Injury Litigation

Justin is known for his trial experience and disciplined approach to medical malpractice litigation and his ability to navigate highly technical medical issues with clarity and precision. He believes effective advocacy requires a deep command of the medicine underlying each case.

Justin’s dedication to ongoing study allows him to understand complex medical issues and advocate effectively for his clients.

Client-Focused Advocacy

From his high school years through the start of his legal career, Justin worked closely with children with severe autism and other special needs. This experience shaped both his professional path and his approach to client advocacy, grounding his work in empathy, patience, and a deep respect for the human impact of medical negligence.

Justin approaches each case as both an advocate and a storyteller. With a background in journalism, he understands the power of narrative and takes the time to truly know his clients and their experiences, ensuring they feel supported and confident throughout the process. He is deeply committed to ensuring clients feel heard, supported, and confident that their story will be presented with accuracy, dignity, and integrity.
