From a young age, Mr. McCubbin was driven to practice law by a desire to advocate on behalf of victims and fight for their right to recover from harms they have suffered. His competitive spirit led him to the area of medical malpractice, where he is focused on helping clients receive compensation and future medical care, after having suffered serious loss, death, or injury through no fault of their own. Throughout his career, Mr. McCubbin has seen how the system is built to protect doctors, hospitals, and their insurance companies, and he spends his time fighting against that inequity in order to help victims and their families. Since law school, Mr. McCubbin has focused on developing trial advocacy skills, which he has employed during his career to secure significant victories for his clients. Mr. McCubbin’s extensive experience in medical malpractice matters has included trials throughout Maryland, in both state and federal courts, as well as arguing matters before the Maryland Court of Special Appeals. Prior to joining Alpert Schreyer Injury Accident Lawyers, Mr. McCubbin spent years representing plaintiffs in medical negligence cases at one of the largest medical malpractice firms in the State. Mr. McCubbin joined Alpert Schreyer Injury Accident Lawyers to lead its medical malpractice division, with a goal of providing detailed, in-depth, and focused representation of a select number of carefully chosen cases annually. He believes in getting to know his clients and their stories and that each client is unique, requiring individualized attention, time, and energy. Currently, his practice focuses on representing victims of medical malpractice in all manner of medical malpractice claims, including birth injury, surgical errors, stroke and cancer misdiagnosis, sepsis, delayed treatment, cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy, developmental delay, failure to diagnose, catastrophic injury and paralysis, anesthesia complications, and any other type of medical malpractice action. Mr. McCubbin was trial counsel in one of the Nation’s Top 100 Verdicts in 2020 against one of the largest hospital systems in the State of Maryland, after a jury awarded his client over $5,500,000 as a result of her death from complications of open-heart surgery. Based on this impressive result, Mr. McCubbin was invited into Best of the Bar, a nationwide organization that only awards membership to those attorneys who have achieved one of the top 100 verdicts in the entire United States for a given calendar year.

In this role, he served as both first and second-chair trial counsel in several jury trials, defending physicians and institutions accused of medical malpractice in matters worth tens of millions of dollars.
