For last 37 years, I have served as Co-Chairman of the North American Brain Injury Society’s Legal Conference, the nation’s longest legal program devoted to the rights of person’s with traumatic brain injury. I previously served as the Medical Legal Editor of the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, authored a chapter in Dr. Mitchell Rosenthal’s seminal book, “Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured Adult and Child”.
For the last 45 years I have represented plaintiffs with traumatic brain injury in Massachusetts and in other states across the country. My brain injury litigation experience includes representing hundreds of individuals in claims involving motor vehicle collisions, sports injuries, medical malpractice and negligent security, as well as victims of violent crime.
