Re: Medical Products Law

Dear Colleagues:

In the course of your business, you may encounter situations in which your clients need the assistance of medical products counsel. My services as a Forensic Clinical Engineer combines the practices of Law and Engineering as applied to healthcare products and services. In this specialty, I am the only attorney with International Certification as a Clinical Engineer. In the healthcare environment, with technology becoming increasingly complex, this unique combination of professional skills should meet your needs. I offer a variety of services to support medical device accident investigation, product liability assessments and litigation:

           Device examinations
           Expert witness testimony
           Accident investigations
           Forensic Engineering

Over the past twenty years, I have practiced as a biomedical engineer in two leading teaching hospitals. This clinical engineering practice is exclusively devoted to medical devices and involves the investigation of manufacturing defects, design defects, improper maintenance, equipment interactions, and operator errors, leading to death or serious injury to patients and clinical staff. In my current practice I investigate hospital incidents daily, working alongside doctors, nurses, and patients.

Recently, I have concentrated on the regulatory and legal aspects of medical devices. In addition to my hospital background, I held an academic appointment at a University graduate school of engineering.

Accordingly, if you ever encounter a legal problem involving any type of medical device, please do not hesitate to call me.

I look forward to assisting you, your clients, and your colleagues in the years ahead.
