I am extremely satisfied with Mr. George Patterson's skills, communication and professionalism while taking my motorcycle accident case. I knew I was in good hands through the whole process. He was able to convince an initially stubborn Insurance Rep to settle for everything we asked for, much more than I thought possible... much of this success I believe can be attributed to Mr. Patterson's impressive medical knowledge and his ability to convey the impact of sustained injuries.
Joining with Mr. Patterson for my case was the best call I've made in a long time.

I used Ruslan for consultation on a suit I had against me. He was very quick to respond and read through all the papers I forwarded, trust me a lot of documents to go over, before hastily making any decisions or judgements like other lawyers I have come across. He is very professional and looks for your best interest. Definitely, a lawyer I will hire and use going forward.

Ruslan and his team gave me such peace of mind following injury from a car accident. The stress of medical bills piling up dissipated once I hired Rus as my lawyer. He was very thorough and clear in communications and very easy to reach. I always felt like I knew what was going on and what step we were on in the process of my case. Rus was not only professional and courteous, he was also just a genuine, enjoyable person to meet and interact with during such a challenging time. My case was processed in perfect timing and I was very pleased with the results Rus was able to achieve--he truly did all he could to assure I received what I deserved after the accident.
I highly recommend Ruslan, and in fact, have already referred others to him based on the success of my case.

the box!

Morgan Fisher provided timely and professional advice on a complex bankruptcy issue I was facing. After speaking with him, I had a clear understanding of the situation, and knew the specific steps I needed to take to remedy my issue. Not only that, but both he and his support staff were a pleasure to interact with. I would highly recommend him!

I was represented by Mr. Roling recently when I was named in a medical malpractice claim that was without merit. Mr. Roling was relentless in his defense. He was VERY knowledgeable and experienced. He prepared for my defense to the smallest detail. He kept me posted on the case as it progressed and was readily available whenever I had a question or was simply getting a little anxious. I hope to never have to go through another malpractice claim again; but if I do, I would want Mr. Roling as my attorney. I would recommend him without reservation.

Mr. Roling guided me successfully through my first (and hopefully only) malpractice case. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in malpractice defense. He listened to my concerns and did a great job of guiding me through the case. Mr. Roling used excellent expert witnesses. While I would never want to go through another trial, if I did, I would be confident having Mr. Roling represent me.

David Roling provided an excellent defense in my malpractice case. He understood the issues and provided a well constructed argument that the jury could understand. 25 minutes for them to rule in my favor!!! He also kept me informed throughout the entire process so I knew what to expect from the day I received the complaint to trial.

Jon handled my medical malpractice claim. He is extremely knowledgeable and able to communicate the laws, process and options clearly so that a lay person can understand. Early on he developed a strategy to handle the case, explained it to us for our concurrence and executed it to a tee. He is aggressive but looks for a satisfactory resolution without necessarily going to court. His extensive background in this area and innumerable contacts in the field made the process relatively painless. He and his staff (Missy) were always available to meet with us or to discuss things over the phone. As we proceeded through the process Jon kept us advised of what was happening even as things moved slowly thorough the system. One of my fraternity brothers is a lawyer who handles medical malpractice cases for hospitals (essentially Jon's opponent). When I asked him about Jon he said "he is one of the good guys". Enough said

Jon Brassel was my attorney for a wrongful death case. My husband died from aortic dissection, that could have been prevented. Jon came from his office in Annoppolis to Salisbury to meet with me. If I had to use only two words to describe Jon they would professional and companionate. You need both of those qualities when in a situation such as mine. I was 36 years old, our son was 8, devastated would be putting it mildly.
When we met he had some information I sent him. I was afraid I was going to break down at this meeting. He ask questions, let me tell my story, and with his professional and compatiante manner I got through it. Leaving that day feeling hopeful. When I would get updates from Jon he explained process and laws and circumstances and made sure understood. If I didn't I never felt rushed, if I had questions. We went to deposition, the doctor sat in the room, his two attorneys and a recorder. I did not feel intimidated, I was comfortable with Jon being on my side of the table. Some time later we closed, we won. I went to his office I met his team of professionals who worked on my case.
I still contact Jon from time to time and have sent pictures of life events. I consider him my friend. He gave me strength, hope and confidence. He is the reason I was able to carry on and live my life without financial burdens. I am so thankful to have found him to represent me.

Jon recently settled a product liability lawsuit in our favor. Jon's immense experience with these types of cases and overall knowledge of the court systems and various national law practices was vital in the successful completion of our lawsuit. We felt extremely educated about our position and satisfied with the completion of our lawsuit. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone who is injured due to someone else’s negligence.

Mr. Bereston and Kristina seidel are professional and compassionate. They really take the care and concern necessary for the case. I felt super appreciated, respected and free emotionally to embrace my process of grieving because they set the atmosphere for me that said let us handle the legal issues you take care of yourself and they did this with I including us the whole way through they are truly great people. Thank you

He's a brilliant lawyer, which is good. What makes him great is that he cares! Him and Kristina were such a blessing to our family.
A positive experience from the start. He found things other lawyers did not find. Those things were not all easy to find out. He delivered hard to hear facts about the case in as good a way as you could hope.
After embarrassing the defense he set up my daughter to be taken care of for the rest of her life! We don't have to worry about her being put in a home to be forgotten.
What I like the most is that he didn't stop caring after he got paid. He regularly reaches out to check in. I did not expect this!

Michale was great to work with because he made a point to make me feel comfortable by explaining
things in a way I could understand them. I appreciate his calm, kind and possitive attitude. He always had time for me and was very good about following up so I knew what was going on every step of the way.
I felt I could trust him which meant a lot. I also felt he really cared about my concerns and wanted to do the right thing. He makes a point to repect your feelings and show sensitivity when he has to deliver information that may be upsetting to a client. I knew I was working with someone who was experienced , knowledgeable and had my best interest in mind.

Mr. McKee represented me in a very difficult case where I was sued for Professional Malpractice. The patient has an undesirable outcome but I did not feel I did anything wrong. Mr. McKee took the time to meet with me and explain everything. I found him extremely knowledgeable about medicine and all the legal aspects of my case. He retained top notch experts on my behalf and we won the case. Thank you sir. You were wonderful and I cannot recommend him enough.

Michael represented me in a lawsuit. He was unbelievably thorough, researched the case completely. He knew as much about the topic as anyone could know. He is affable, soft- spoken, but do not take that soft-spoken attitude as being soft. He is a bulldog and formidable in the court room. I recommend him highly.

Fantastic service! Great Staff! Knowledgeable! It is only ABOVE AND BEYOND for these people!
I brought these folks one ugly WC case. They did not flinch. Ron Katz took the helm of an amazing Team: Clint Allgair and Jennifer Kennedy took the lead on one side… Jessica Bhagan took the lead on my WC claim and Joyce Burton was my paralegal point of contact. Across the board the experience has been exceptional!
When an attorney from another firm tells you how exceptional Clint Allgair is, you are impressed with your choice of representation. BUT, when you are leaving a Workmans Comp hearing and a prominent Baltimore city attorney pulls you to the side to tell you how smart and keen your Lawyer was in there: Referring to Jessica Bhagan… You are really happy with your choice of Law firms. And I am.
Calls are answered, emails are promptly returned and they happily answer all questions, even the dumb ones.

Very poorly represented by Joel Katz for a Workmen's Comp case. Seemed to have a revolving door for lawyers handling injury cases. My file was buried in a drawer for a year or so until a consultant to the firm found it. They only want cases that are easy and a shoe in. I was exposed to chemicals on the job. From day one I got nothing but negative feedback about my case. They wanted me to settle for almost nothing. If a firm doesn't know any medical experts for your particular injury you know you will not be properly represented. I was too sick from being sensitized to chemicals to fight them. Didn't settle and the case is still hanging. I have a new lawyer who has worked very hard to get my case heard. Workmen's Comp doesn't seem do their job any better than Joel Katz. My case was somehow dropped from their files when they switched to computers. How many requests does it take to get my case back in the data base? Very disappointed and poorly served by both the lawyer and Worker's Comp.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

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:

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.
