Joseph A. Vuckovich

Title: Trial Attorney
Office: Washington, D.C.

Joe focuses his practice on complex litigation and vaccine injury compensation before the Court of Federal Claims. Prior to joining mctlaw, Joe began his career in the mergers and acquisitions practice of a major Washington, D.C. law firm, worked on corporate restructurings and turnarounds, and then spent several years in his own practice representing entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Joe studied neuroscience and psychology at Harvard, graduating magna cum laude in 2002.  His senior thesis was published in Learning & Memory, an influential cognitive neuroscience journal. This research helped to call into question the hypothesis that the degeneration of cholinergic neurons plays an important role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. The so-called “cholinergic hypothesis” had been the basis for most pharmacological therapies marketed to Alzheimer’s physicians and their patients.

Joe then received a master’s degree in biology with an emphasis on cognitive neuroscience from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Along with several Cambridge scientists, he published research on the cognitive basis of visual impairment in brain-damaged patients. These results appeared in Neuropsychologia, a prestigious and widely read journal.

Joe then attended law school at the New York University School of Law where he served as staff editor of the Annual Survey of American Law.

Joe is admitted to practice before the courts of the District of Columbia, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and the United States Court of Federal Claims. He grew up in Pittsburgh and now lives in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and three kids.

Comments

As an experienced leader in these types of lawsuits, we were confident the firm would have the expertise. However, what surprised us most was the high level of excellent customer service from the firm’s staff!

Pat R.

I can’t recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

Nate M.

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
