Tamara brings a unique perspective to our firm. She was a practicing physician before becoming a lawyer. This experience gives her insight that few lawyers have in the litigation of malpractice claims. Tamara also understands how hospitals, medical providers and their insurers approach litigation since, like Bob and Dave, she provided legal counsel to healthcare providers, hospitals, and their insurers, before deciding it was time for her to represent injured patients and their families.
Tamara has worked in healthcare law for over fourteen years, first as a medical consultant and now as an attorney. She has come full circle having first treated patients and now representing them when something goes wrong with their medical or surgical care.
