meeting the challenge. Burg Simpson handles a wide variety of complex commercial litigation, personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Two areas in which the firm is at the forefront of national litigation include the Ortho Evra birth control patch and representation of clients who have developed nephrogenic systemic fibrosis as a result of exposure to gadolinium-based contrast dyes.

Our work is about trying to make a positive difference.”
