Yes. In addition to attorneys who devote their practices to defending medical professionals, we have an experienced legal nurse consultant on who helps us understand and navigate complex medical issues in each case.

Do you represent health care clients throughout Indiana or only in Indianapolis?

We routinely assist clients in metropolitan areas as well as critical access and rural hospitals, immediate care centers, and long‑term care providers across Indiana.
When should a health care provider contact your firm about a potential malpractice or licensing issue?
Health care providers should contact our firm as soon as they receive notice of a potential claim, an Indiana Department of Insurance Proposed Complaint, a state court Complaint for Damages, an Attorney General consumer complaint, or any communication from a licensing board. Early involvement allows us to evaluate risk, preserve evidence, advise on communications, and pursue strategies aimed at resolving matters efficiently while protecting the provider’s legal rights, license and reputation.
