About the Practice

A collaborative growth partner for firms building obstetric case strength.

My focus is on delivering accurate, neutral, and clinically grounded insights that support attorneys in making informed decisions earlier in the process. Because I am still practicing at the bedside, my understanding of current standards, workflows, and real-time obstetric care remains sharp and relevant.

Throughout my clinical career, I have worked extensively in Labor & Delivery with a strong focus on postpartum complications, including postpartum hemorrhage. Close collaboration with NICU teams has given me a deep understanding of how newborn outcomes are tied to maternal conditions and documentation — often valuable in cases with dual-patient implications.
