Cory Sutker handles a wide variety of legal matters in state and federal venues, including those involving medical malpractice, products and premises liability, breach of contract, employment disputes, medical liens, hospital credentialing claims, defamation and fraud.  He routinely handles cases involving catastrophic injuries and multi-million dollar exposure.  He vigorously represents his clients’ interests in depositions, hearings, mediation and at trial.  In addition to his work on active lawsuits, he assists his clients in risk management activities, quality improvement initiatives, media relations, pre-suit investigations and alternative dispute resolution.  He also represents professionals in administrative law matters before their respective licensing boards, including the Texas Medical Board, Texas Board of Nursing and the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors.  Cory's experience, knowledge base, ability to connect with others, and his track record of success have made him a reliable advisor and valuable asset to his clients.
