When Doctors and Nurses Make Errors,You Need an Attorney Who Can Understand What Happened.

The uniform changed. The workplace changed.
But the commitment to people never did.

Jason W. Voelke is a veteran, former Registered Nurse, and experienced trial attorney who brings more than 30 years of experience when fighting for injured patients and their families. Most medical malpractice attorneys have never read an EKG, started an IV, inserted an NG tube, or personally witnessed a doctor or nurse commit malpractice. Jason W. Voelke has. Before he ever walked into a courtroom, he spent 6 years working as a Navy Corpsman (medic) followed by 12 years working as a Registered Nurse in emergency rooms and intensive care units. He knows how medical errors happen, how institutions respond when a patient is harmed, and where the evidence tends to disappear.

A Clinical Background That ChangesHow Cases Are Built.

Jason has witnessed firsthand what medical negligence looks like and how healthcare systems handle it internally. That clinical foundation shapes his legal work in practical ways:

Reading medical records with clinical literacy

Not relying solely on paid expert witnesses to interpret what happened.

What Clients Have To Say

Medical Malpractice & Nursing Home Abuse FAQs

Most lawyers have to learn how hospitals and nursing homes operate. Jason worked inside them for 12 years as a Registered Nurse. He knows how charting works, what a proper care plan looks like, how shift changes and staffing shortages lead to mistakes, and where facilities tend to leave gaps in their records. That insight helps him spot negligence other attorneys might miss, question healthcare witnesses more effectively, and clearly explain complex medical issues.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FACE THIS ALONE.
