EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES

​

I provide independent medical expert witness services in litigation involving occupational, environmental, and public health–related injuries and exposures. I am retained by plaintiff and defense counsel to deliver clear, evidence-based opinions suitable for case strategy, written reports, deposition, and trial.

​

My work focuses on medical causation, exposure assessment, standard of care (where applicable), and damages, with careful translation of complex medical and scientific evidence into defensible, jury-understandable conclusions.

​
