I had the pleasure of utilizing Paul and his teams service. From start to finish I felt that I was a part of the family. They all treated me and my family with the utmost respect. Paul and Co were always very transparent and updated me immediately through the entire process of where we stood. I never felt that I was left out of any step over the 4 years he represented me. His knowledge and expertise in malpractice is top notch and I knew from the start I was in the right hands. Not only did we come out victorious in my case, but I am proud to say I am 6+ years clear.

To whom it may concern,
We are pleased with the opportunity to provide a reference for Paul Perantinides. Our daughter discovered her chances of surviving the type of cancer she had was diminished to zero due to the malpractice of the surgeon. Knowing she was losing the battle my daughter sought the advice of a lawyer. Mr. Perantinides ultimately acquired her case. Our daughter asked Paul to “please not forget about her.” Our daughter lost her battle with cancer in 2011 at the age of 33. During the 18 months from her diagnosis and first surgery until her death she suffered indescribable, horrific, unrelenting pain. She left behind her two girls, age 5 years and 2-1/2 years at that time. Mr. Perantinides remained an advocate for our daughter’s cause. His perseverance in holding the surgeon and facility responsible for their malpractice resulted in a settlement in 2017. Six years after her death. He did not forget about her. Although no amount of money would ever compensate for the death of our daughter, we are grateful to Mr. Perantinides for the settlement. It will help our granddaughters with their future education. So, to reiterate, we are pleased to provide a reference for Paul Perantinides. We are grateful for the years of work he did in holding the parties accountable. Thank you. Toni & Bryan

In our first meeting together, it was obvious that Paul was different from the other attorneys I had sought out. My wife passed away under the care of a local hospital, and I was looking for someone to represent me. He asked me all the right questions and engaged himself clearly showing interest in me and my family. In that first meeting it was obvious that he knew what he was talking about. He was confident about taking on my case. As we moved forward through the coming months, I became convinced that I had chosen the right person for the job.
As I was introduced to his staff over time I was extremely impressed with all of them. Paul has set an atmosphere of excellent customer service,always showing respect and care.
No questions were left unanswered, no phone calls were left hanging. Paul explained every action through the process, all the pros and cons, ups and downs. All the risks and all the possible out come. At no time did he ever try to tell me something that might have had a hidden agenda. He is an honest man, with integrity, something not always seen in this profession.
We settled out of court due to Paul's expertise and resources that led the hospital to ask if we would meet with a third party negotiator. Which we did.
I have nothing but good to say about Paul and his staff, and I have recommended him to people, and will continue to .

I am not sure I can properly capture my experience with Perantinides & Nolan in a few sentences. It was under very unfortunate circumstances that led me to working with this firm. They proved themselves to be professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and very supportive. However, it is beyond the above that I will be forever grateful. Grateful for their compassion, caring, emotional support and for being there for my family at every turn, request and question. Paul with his team (Terri and Tony) are fantastic and I thank them for all they did for me and my family. Highly recommended!

I am very pleased that I have this opportunity to write this review on my attorney, Tony Tsarouhas. From our very first phone conversation, I knew this was the attorney that I wanted to use to handle my case. Legal matters can be difficult to understand; however, Tony was very patient and explained every process and detail in a thorough and clear manner. His compassion for my situation was real and abundant. Throughout the course of our working together, Tony would constantly update me via phone calls and emails, and sometimes, I would receive an email that simply asked how I was doing. The entire team working with Tony is professional and caring, and willing to go the extra mile. Most importantly, he was very honest, never giving me wrong information or false hopes. Ultimately, Tony successfully negotiated a settlement that was beyond my expectations. I would use Tony again should the need arise and would not hesitate to refer him to others.

My experience with Chester Law has been outstanding. I have experienced professionalism that I haven't seen in my 46yrs of life. My attorney and his legal aide have answered all of my questions and even some I didn't know to ask. I would have my own mother retain this firm for their legal expertise, because I know she would be treated with a sense of compassion you seldom see in this world.

I had some ambivalence about consulting an attorney for my accident, however, Jim proved to be well worth the investment. He went to bat for me and arranged for a fair settlement with the insurance company of the at-fault party. He put me at ease and was very patient explaining everything and I really cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, sir.

I've had the distinct opportunity to have Ms. Hanna represent my family member in a criminal appeals case. One of the things that impressed me most was she was a very caring individual, available to answer any and all questions that I had. I had never had to deal with an attorney under these circumstances before, however she made me feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. Ms. Hanna is well versed in several areas of law and carries a wealth of experience in criminal appeals. I found that she is not above further research if she doesn't have he answers. She keeps abreast of current information and legal trends that may affect her cases. Ms. Hanna has three partners, Mark Hanna, Deanna Schuler and Ms. Hedrick. I've met Mr. Mark Hanna and Ms. Deanna Schuler and find them both to be competent, caring and informative professionals, who have responded to my calls when Ms. Hanna was unavailable. Finally, Ms. Hanna has continually kept her client, my nephew, abreast of the status of his case, an diligently continues to work on his behalf. I would highly recommend this attorney and her partners.

Scanlon and Company are a vey knowledgeable team when it comes to personal injury, car accidents, medical malpractice - they stand up for the little guy. I have had to opportunity to work with both Larry Scanlon and James Galla when a friend of mine had a minor car crash. They are an amazing team at trial. I was really impressed how much they know - they answered all my friends questions off the top of their heads. I will definitely talk to them first if I or anyone I care about ever needs an injury attorney in the future!

The settlement was straight forward, with very little to do, the drawback was waiting almost a year for the state of ohio/medicaid nexxus to decide how much was due back to them seeing how I was covered under their policies from a previous injury.

THE WORST! I am extremely dissatisfied with the level of service provided by Scott Heasley and his firm. Despite having both a verbal and written agreement in place for the resolution of the matter, they have failed to sign the release after more than three months. It is evident that they are intentionally dragging their feet on a resolution that they themselves proposed, causing unnecessary hardship and leaving my funds stuck in escrow. Scott Heasley’s lack of professionalism, disorganization, and failure to adhere to basic standards of practice are unacceptable.

Crazy!!!! Do not use this firm; he will sue you if you decide to stop proceeding with the project and not pay the total amount for the complete service.
They will not try to understand your case; they will only prepare some Cursory descriptions, which will be impossible to understand what it describes.
Stay away from it!
I'm tulk from experience!
Don't make the same mistake as me!!

George did a poor job in representing my loved on. While my he was waiting for trial he had to do his own research and tell George which motions to file on his behalf. Throughout the case George lied repeatedly, stopped answering phone calls, was rarely available to go see his client and only called when he wanted more money for a job he was barely doing. My friend has spoken with other lawyers who all agree that George could have done a much better job but simply chose not to. I would never recommend him to anyone. Now my friend is in jail for a crime he didn't commit and has to fight for his freedom.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.

A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
- Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
- Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
- Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
- Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.
How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?
Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.

- Contingency fee: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total recovery amount.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as expert witness fees and court expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you receive a clear explanation of all potential fees and expenses before proceeding with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Before hiring a medical malpractice lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?

How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
Have you worked with expert witnesses?
Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for your case.

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association for their license and any disciplinary actions.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in medical malpractice and a history of successful cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Medical records: All documents related to your treatment and injury.
- Evidence of harm: Photos, medical bills, and records of lost wages.
- Communication records: Any correspondence with healthcare providers or institutions.
- List of healthcare providers: Names and contact information of all involved medical personnel.
- Questions for the lawyer: A prepared list to address all your concerns.
- Timeline of events: A detailed chronology of your medical care and the issues encountered.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
