Harvey, Jay

Lawyer Overview

"Our clients come to us because they don't want what has happened to them to happen to another family. They want a system that is accountable to the patient. We work hard to pursue that goal, get fair compensation for our clients and make the medical professional more responsible to the patient. That creates success for us all."

Jay has dedicated his entire career to helping those who have been injured because of the negligence of other individuals, professionals or corporations. He understands that thorough, hard work is the only thing that separates his clients from being winners against difficult odds.

From injuries caused by health care professionals to those damaged by negligence in the legal profession, Jay empathizes with his clients and aggressively pursues their rights.

Jay is Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Certification as a trial specialist in Personal Injury Trial Law.
