Our Firm

Our Values, Our Strengths

TNMD’s core values are the bedrock of our practice. Everything we do is built upon these core principles:

Integrity

To be honest, professional and ethical in all our actions. Our word is our bond; it’s that simple. We promise to be accountable for everything we say and do in the representation of our clients.

Client Centric

Our clients are the center of our practice. We focus fully on our clients’ needs and goals in everything we do.

Intellectual Rigor

We are determined to learn and understand every aspect of the medicine involved in every case. We take this understanding and extract larger patterns that are then utilized in the overall execution of strategy.

Excellence

We deliver outstanding results to our clients.

Our History

The firm was co-founded in 2009 by William Tanoury, David Nauts, Cullen McKinney, and Linda Garbarino. The first three were seasoned litigators whose practices focused solely on medical malpractice. Ms. Garbarino was one of the top medical malpractice appellate attorneys in the State of Michigan.

Along with 18 other employees, they opened shop in the Fort-Washington Building located next to TCF Center (formerly Cobo Hall). The firm moved in 2015 to a larger office in Livonia to accommodate their expanding staff, now over 50 employees strong and growing. Ms. Garbarino retired at the end of 2020 and the firm took on Paul Dwaihy as a partner in 2021.

TNMD is the largest firm in the State dedicated exclusively to defending medical malpractice claims.
