Practice Focus

As a member of the firm's Medical Malpractice Practice Group, George works with the legal team that serves as lead counsel for a major South Florida medical school in both litigation and regulatory proceedings. He has experience defending health care facilities and medical practitioners against catastrophic claims involving a variety of allegations, from personal injury and wrongful death to negligence.
