About Norman Tucker
I also came to appreciate that f I wanted to solve any of our society's problems, being a lawyer was essential. I am willing , and happy , to work endless hours until the job is done and done right and the ability to explain complex medical issues in a simplified form so lay people, like jurors, can understand what happened and why it should not have happened. I grew up in a small rural community of about 250 people. The attitude was simple: work hard, be respectful, honest and polite, and help others when they have a problem.

After two federal jury verdicts found that Frankenmuth violated the Loesel family's equal-protection rights by passing a zoning ordinance designed to block a Walmart land sale, the city settled for $3.7 million in November 2014.
On April 25, 2014, a Saginaw County jury returned a $1,612,269 verdict for Debra Cameron and her husband, Hugh, against family physician James V. Bodrie, M.D. The jury found he failed to pursue a cardiac workup despite months of symptoms and a chest X-ray showing an enlarged heart, and that Ms. Cameron suffered a major heart attack days later. The award included $262,268.86 in medical expenses, with the rest for non-economic damages, and the vote was 6-2. Michigan's 2014 cap on non-economic damages in malpractice cases limits that portion to $440,200, so the most that could stand was about $702,469, and no appeal was filed.
