Unfortunately alot of the docs that are also lawyers are unable to

represent anyone in court because they are not in active practice.

The friend of mine that is a surgeon is also a lawyer and is very up to

date on all the laws and such but he cant represent me because he is

not a practicing attorney and never took the bar.

The upside to this is that he knows the best malpractice lawyers and

referred me to one of his good friends that has a very impressive win

record.

Cant wait for everyone to get a letter from him. Most docs cringe just

hearing the name.
