A significant portion of Karin’s practice is devoted to defending professionals against malpractice and administrative complaints.

Childs McCune is proud to announce that both Mark Fogg and Steve Michalek were recognized as 5280 Magazine’s Denver Top Lawyers for 2022. Mark Fogg received this distinction for Health Care, and Steve Michalek received this distinction for Medical Malpractice: Defense.

On June 25, 2021, Karin Williamson and Chris Miller secured a defense verdict in a medical malpractice trial.  Together, they successfully defended a surgeon against a claim of negligence stemming from an incident when a patient suddenly fell from the operating room table 50 minutes into a robotic surgery.  At the conclusion of a one week trial, the jury returned a verdict fully exonerating the surgeon.  Please help us in congratulating this trial duo in dusting off that pandemic dust and bringing home justice.
