In the medical malpractice cases I defend, details matter.  I want to know the facts of the case inside and out.  I want to know everything I can about the care provided and what’s in the medical records.  With my background as an emergency room nurse, there are times I can find important facts that might not seem important.

Primary Practice:

Donna Boyce is a litigator who focuses on medical malpractice, premises liability and nursing home litigation in Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi. She represents large medical centers and long-term care facilities as well as individual doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals, and she has taken cases to trial in both state and federal court. With 16 years experience as a practicing nurse – including years of practice in a hospital emergency room – Donna knows firsthand the stresses and challenges of working in health care.

She also been involved in breast implant litigation and part of the team that successfully defended the first breast implant trial in Tennessee.
