I handled a birth injury case in which there was an excessive use of pitocin and a delay in performing a cesarean section in the face of fetal distress, which resulted in a multi-million dollar result. I have handled birth trauma cases involving the misuse of vacuum and forceps, cases involving the failure to diagnose pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, shoulder dystocia cases, and cases of pediatric malpractice.

I have represented women in failure to diagnose breast and ovarian cancer, and surgical error cases. I have achieved successful results in all types of medical negligence cases in my 34 years of practice.

I have also successfully handled cases involving delays in ambulance response, serious auto accidents, slip and falls, and product liability cases. I have represented men, women and children with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and burn injuries.

I established my firm in 1993, after having gained over 12 years of experience litigating on behalf of catastrophically injured clients at two major Philadelphia law firms. Stephen Ulan joined my firm soon after it was established, and Dr. Gerald Kaplan, a general surgeon who also has a law degree, became of counsel to the firm. Together we carefully evaluate, work up and litigate cases on behalf of our clients. While providing aggressive representation, we provide compassion and care to our clients along the way. We provide high-quality representation from AV-rated lawyers, with personalized attention in a small firm atmosphere.

We are a high quality firm that represents catastrophically injured individuals in their medical malpractice and personal injury cases. We have successfully represented
clients in birth injury cases, obstetrical negligence cases, delay in diagnosis cases, cases of surgical error, medication overdose, misread x-rays, and all aspects of hospital, doctor, and nursing negligence, achieving significant results. We have been very successful in handling serious injury cases for our clients.

I started my career as a public interest lawyer handling civil rights act cases, and then switched to the private sector where I worked and became a partner at the catastrophic injury firm of Bernstein, Bernstein, & Harrison, where I litigated medical malpractice, product liability, auto accident, and slip and fall cases. I then became a partner with the law firm of Kolsby Gordon concentrating on medical malpractice cases.
