About Jake
Q&A
  • What types of clients do you represent?

    My clients range from state agencies and large companies to small businesses and individuals. I also have represented physicians, hospitals, and other heath care providers in malpractice as well as other healthcare related litigation.

  • What do you see on the horizon in your area of practice?

    Litigation is rapidly becoming more economically driven, demanding that attorneys engage in a cost-sensitive approach to avoid unnecessary expenses in an effort to provide the highest return on the client's litigation investment.

  • Which Courts or agencies do you most often appear before on behalf of your clients?
  • What do you find most exciting about your work?
