His trial experience is extensive, and he has successfully tried to verdict numerous cases involving catastrophic injury and wrongful death.  These cases routinely have exposure in the high seven and eight figure range.  Troy has also successfully argued at the appellate level many times in support of dispositive motions or verdicts in his clients’ favor in the trial courts.

Troy has been asked to speak before physicians’ groups and insurance adjustors regarding risk management issues and has also spoken numerous times before governmental officials and claims personnel regarding Tort Immunity.  He has become corporate counsel and advisor for many clients whom he originally represented in litigation and now routinely advises them on risk management and business planning issues.
