We’re proud to see our colleague Silvia Mansoor featured in a recent Q&A with Legal News, which will be circulating across multiple counties in Michigan.

Silvia, a litigation attorney at Foley, Baron, Metzger, & Juip PLLC, shares insight into her work defending physicians in medical malpractice cases—including how critical it is to truly understand the medicine behind each case.

As she notes, one of the most fascinating parts of the job is the continuous learning: you can’t effectively defend a procedure or diagnosis without fully understanding it.

Beyond her practice, Silvia is deeply engaged in the legal community, serving on the Oakland County Bar Association Board of Directors and as a former Chair of the State Bar of Michigan Young Lawyers Section.

On April 9, 2026, FBMJ attorneys Brian Whitelaw and Sarah Cherry presented a number of medical-legal issues to emergency medicine residents, medical students, and attending physicians at Ascension St. John Hospital Detroit in Detroit, Michigan.

Emergency medicine physicians are among the most frequently named providers in medical malpractice lawsuits. Studies show that over 75% of emergency medicine physicians will be named in a medical malpractice claim at some point in their careers.

During their presentation, Brian and Sarah provided residents with information about medical malpractice lawsuits across the country. They also discussed the anatomy of a medical malpractice lawsuit, as well as current trends driving nuclear verdicts, including economic and social inflation, reptile theory, and other social and legal factors.

They further addressed how emergency medicine physicians can protect themselves through effective medical charting and how to handle difficult patients and challenging scenarios. Throughout the presentation, they used examples from actual cases and trials to demonstrate that even excellent medical care and thorough documentation can still result in being named as a defendant in a malpractice case.

Brian and Sarah defend a significant number of emergency medicine lawsuits each year and have successfully obtained numerous dismissals and defense verdicts on behalf of their clients.

FBMJ Cares in Action

We’re proud to support our community through FBMJ Cares.

Our team recently came together to assemble care packages and donate comfort items to a local hospice organization in Livonia. These small gestures are meant to bring a little extra warmth and support to individuals and families during difficult times.

At FBMJ, giving back is part of who we are - not just what we do.
