I am among the few attorneys holding a Doctorate in Medicine, residing professionally at the crossroads of Law and Medicine. With my distinctive qualifications, I am well-equipped to serve you. My training and experience in various Psychiatry settings, my 15 years of operating a Rehab Clinic, along with my arbitration & mediation certifications, as well as having lived in different countries around the world and in various states in the United States, gives me a unique and distinct broad understanding of the human mind. This includes various Neurological, Endocrinological and Psycho-social factors influencing human behavior. My unique perspective enables me not only to comprehend Med-Legal issues from the perspectives of Medical Clinicians and Attorneys, but also from the viewpoint of victims/clients. I have also effectively stopped people from committing suicide.
In 2012, my aunt, a Medical Doctor & Christian Missionary, and my uncle, a full-time minister, experienced a severe head-on collision in my hometown. Unfortunately, I lost my aunt, and as a result, I relocated to my hometown to assist in caring for my uncle, who suffered from severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and physical injuries. Together with my family, which includes my father, a Physical Therapist, we provided round-the-clock care for my uncle at our home for seven years until his passing. Through this firsthand experience, I understand the challenges and the toll it takes on caregivers and family members.
I understand injured clients' physical and emotional anguish, changed behavior patterns and other medical needs. Additionally, I am skilled in effective communication and creating a comfortable environment during intakes and other trial procedures to better assist injured clients.
I assist Attorneys for Case Evaluations to spot Med-Legal Issues. Additionally, I help Attorneys in preparing for & effectively handling their own and opposing parties' Medical Experts’ depositions and cross exams. This in turn, fosters more successful and expedited negotiations.
As a Co-Counsel, I collaborate with other Attorneys on a range of Medical-Legal cases such as Personal Injury, Wrongful Death and Product Liability, spanning from client intake to the trial phase. Additionally, I provide assistance to Attorneys in comprehending jurors, including their behaviors, and guide them in analyzing juror responses.
