His practice areas include Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, and Product Liability. He represents seriously injured people and families in complex civil cases, drawing on extensive litigation experience involving wrongful death, medical negligence, and other serious injury claims.

Joseph earned both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Washington University in St. Louis. He later received his Juris Doctor from the University of Washington School of Law in Seattle. This academic background preceded a litigation career that has included state and federal public-service roles as well as private personal injury practice. His education and professional development support a methodical approach to complex cases involving legal, medical, factual, and damages issues that require careful evaluation and coordinated preparation.

In those roles, he handled complex wrongful death, medical malpractice, and serious personal injury matters while leading a team of attorneys across four states. That government litigation experience adds a broad perspective on case management, evidence, strategy, and supervision, and it now supports his representation of injured clients in substantial civil claims.
