About Joseph Flannery
Joseph Flannery joined Spangenberg Shibley & Liber in April 2025, bringing experience on both sides of personal injury and medical malpractice litigation.

LPA and The Becker Law Firm. Returning to plaintiff-side work at Spangenberg, he focuses on medical malpractice cases including catastrophic birth injuries, medication errors, and surgical complications.
