He is a Florida Bar board-certified civil trial lawyer, former editorial consultant to Matthew Bender Law Books, the author of “Post-Trial Motions,” Florida Civil Trial Practice, Chapter 18, tenth edition, and the author of Inside The Minds’ Representing Plaintiffs in Medical Malpractice Cases, “Current Challenges in Handling Medical Malpractice Actions: Statutory Protections, Expenses, and Societal Misconceptions” (Thomson Reuters/ Asparatore2012).
