Our Firm
Our Values, Our Strengths
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.
NMDB is the largest firm in the State dedicated exclusively to defending medical malpractice claims.
