About

Over 30 years practicing as an nurse/attorney in the area of medical and nursing home negligence and personal injury litigation with experience as both a defense attorney and, now, on behalf of plaintiffs. Since, switching to representing plaintiffs, I have successfully represented individuals both in Maryland and out-of-state who were injured or died through the negligence of others including doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes.
