TESTIMONIAL

“Joey recently completed a complex hospital medical malpractice case involving over 10,000 pages of medical records. The report was delivered ahead of schedule with precise, highly organized and insightful thoughts. 

As a CRNA with extensive experience in anesthesia and critical care, Joey brought a valuable perspective to the case that was required in analyzing the claims/issues at hand.

Joey fills a much needed niche in the medical-legal field.

I look forward to continuing to collaborate with him on future cases!”
