Our medical malpractice attorneys have deep experience in successfully defending hospitals, physicians, nursing homes, home health care agencies, and other health care providers throughout Western North Carolina against claims of medical and related professional negligence and are here to guide you through the process.

We have successfully defended a wide range of major claims brought against hospitals, doctors, and other health care providers. Our attorneys have participated in pre-trial discovery, trials, appeals, and mediations, as well as other forms of alternative dispute resolution, and have the expertise to advise clients on their risks, options and possible outcomes. We regularly work with expert witnesses in every medical specialty, utilize the best expert witnesses for each case, and are skilled in cross-examining hostile expert witnesses.

Our medical malpractice attorneys are also experienced in advising clients on managing for potential risks to limit their future liability exposure. This can help medical practitioners and institutions have the proper procedures and protocols in place to avoid costly lawsuits in the future. Additionally, we have experience in guiding medical professionals through professional licensing claims and other disciplinary matters.
