About me

"I spent years defending hospitals. I know exactly how they build a denial — and exactly where it breaks."

R. Okafor leads the firm’s medical negligence practice. Nineteen years in, the pattern is familiar: an institution that denies liability until the evidence makes denial impossible. R.’s job is assembling that evidence.

Clients meet a litigator who translates medicine into plain English and never sugar-coats the odds. Hospitals meet the opposite of a pushover.
