Class Note 1985
From my contacts in Ohio: “Immediate Release: Jeffrey Healy Named Among Best Lawyers for 2020.” (Not sure how someone can be named anything for 2020 when it’s 2019, but that may be a discussion for another time.) That said, our own Jeff Healy has been included on the Best Lawyers list. Stop here if you’re getting a sense of déjà vu. A partner with the Cleveland branch of Tucker Ellis, Jeff focuses on mass tort litigation and class actions, defendants. In case you haven’t been in touch with Jeff since 1985 or you have a maritime matter that needs addressing, this bio will help: While Jeff focuses his practice on product liability and mass tort defense, he has also tried maritime personal injury and legal and medical malpractice cases. He currently serves as national trial counsel, national coordinating counsel, and regional and local counsel for defendant corporations in asbestos, coal dust, and silicosis cases. He has litigated and tried product liability and mass tort cases throughout the country and also litigated and tried maritime personal injury cases throughout the Great Lakes region. After earning his undergraduate degree at Dartmouth and before entering Boston College Law School, Jeff spent a year as a ski bum in Sun Valley, Idaho, and three years as a high school history teacher and soccer and hockey coach at a Detroit area school. Jeff grew up in Cleveland, where he lives and enjoys skiing, reading (don’t all lawyers?), and running.
From my contacts in western Connecticut, check out this flattering and complimentary note about none other than Alpha Chi Alpha’s David Kramer (I wish people would send in nice things about me, or more accurately that I had done anything to warrant someone saying nice things): “I work with Dr. David Kramer, DM’89, a spine surgeon in Connecticut. He receives and reads the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine. It would be so exciting for him to be included in an upcoming issue because he’s accomplished so much and is helping so many people. Dr. Kramer performed emergency spine surgery on a man who was paralyzed from the waist down after falling from a tree stand. See ‘Dad Walks Daughters Down the Aisle, Thanks to Danbury Hospital Spine Surgeons’ at www.westernconnecticuthealthnetwork.org/newsroom/article-listing/emergen.... Dr. Kramer is also helping people with rare spine deformities. He helped a woman with ‘dropped head syndrome’ who tried countless of other doctors and treatments without success: ‘Danbury Hospital Spine Surgeons Help Woman with Severe Neck Deformity to Stand Tall,’ www.westernconnecticuthealthnetwork.org/newsroom/article-listing/neck-su.... Furthermore, Dr. Kramer is helping adolescents with scoliosis, which is unique because he’s one of the only surgeons in Connecticut with special training to treat pediatric scoliosis. See ‘Surgery and then straight to graduation for Bethel teen’ at www.newstimes.com/local/article/Surgery-and-then-straight-to-graduation-.... More about Dr. Kramer can be found at www.ctneckandback.com/our-doctors/david-l-kramer-m-d. Please consider including Dr. Kramer in an upcoming issue of Dartmouth Alumni Magazine.” Done—now Dave must be excited! Well done, Jeff and Dave!
