Ariel is very knowledgeable. Unlike other attorneys that try to do it all, he specifies what his areas of strength are, and follows through for quick results in those areas! He was able to quickly help me with my situation. I hope everyone uses him for their needs, as I know he will be able to help them as well.

After being dropped by another attorney 45 days before trial and out over a hundred thousand dollars, I couldn't find another attorney to take my child custody case. That is until I met Sandra. When Sandra takes on a case, she gives it her all! Sandra does not shy away from a case where she feels there has been an injustice. She works incredibly hard , has a tremendous amount of compassion for the people she represents and takes pride in her core values. Sandra is tenacious and a person of integrity. she stuck with me for my 3 year battle. Sandra not only won my child custody battle, but she also won the biggest settlement in Gwinnett Co since 18 years prior. Sandra was up against the "good ol' boys club" who had 3 times more experience than she did and won!!. So, don't be fooled by the "time on the job" sort of speak... You have to have passion,determination, integrity & zeal. Sandra has all that and more!

When I was in an automobile accident, I was confused, hurt, and felt alone like I had no where to turn. A friend of mine recommended Sandra to represent me. I had a consultation with her and knew right from the beginning that the right choice was made from the start. Sandra is very professional and dedicated from the get go, she works tirelessly on a case not leaving a stone uncovered. She keeps you informed on everything she has done and everything she is doing and planning on doing. She was always there for me no matter how busy she was would always take my phone call and answer any questions that I had. She is very professional inside the courtroom, stands by your side constantly. I am proud to have had her as my attorney to represent me. She definitely goes the extra mile for her clients. If I ever need an attorney again, I know exactly who to call.

Tyler is the absolute best lawyer that I could have used to represent me. Knowing that Tyler not only competed and won numerous awards when competing in mock-trial in college, but is also a coach for the ASU Mock-Trial Team, I knew that I was getting a lawyer who is top tier. Tyler took the time to understand my concerns, go through all of the details leading up to my hearing, and prepped me well for the day of the hearing. When my hearing came, I was extremely nervous, but he reassured me that everything would move forward smoothly and there would be nothing to worry about. Tyler was phenomenal with his execution of our opening and closing statements, as well as with his cross-examination of me to bring to light the facts that may not have been known to the board. Tyler's knowledge and expertise is the reason why my case was won, and I know for a fact that if it weren't for him, I would not have had the favorable outcome that we hoped for. If you want a lawyer who doesn't just know how to win, but also understands how to comfort and support you amidst the entire process Tyler from Doran Justice is your guy. And if you need any extra reasons as to why you should choose him, look at his resume and his willingness to give back to and help coach the future lawyers of the world -- as it is evident that he genuinely cares about every person that he helps.

Brian is an attorney above all others, he was very knowledgeable, professional and always did more than what he said he was going to do. The one & only problem I have with Brian is that at this point I don't have anything else for him to do for me. You can be comforted that you will be in the best of care with Brian on your side.

I was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck by another vehicle that ran a stop sign. I was hurt badly. The company that was insuring the vehicle I was in was giving me the run around, while the insurance company of the at fault driver was completely ignoring me. I needed help fast. A friend of mine suggested Wattel and York, so with hesitation I sent off an email. Within literally 5 minutes I received a phone call. Much to my surprise it was the attorney’s office, and not just a paralegal or legal assistant. The ACTUAL attorney called me and discussed my case! I went in the following day for a consultation and they took my case. Throughout the whole process, all I can say is how wonderful this firm is. From their legal assistants and paralegals all the way up the lawyers themselves. They’re timely and accurate in their communication, whether it is over email or telephone. I could call and talk with the attorney anytime, and they would drop what they were currently doing to answer any questions I had. My fear and despondency disappeared with sweet release as I read the demand letter that Michael York sent to the insurance companies. It was extremely well written and was “matter of fact” in its demands. The insurance companies paid out in full all that was requested from the demand letter without hesitation. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to anyone who was injured in an automobile accident. This law firm really does fight for you!

August 12, 2015 (Wednesday); 2:30 p.m. EDT Sierra Vista, Arizona Thankfully, I've led a benign life. I learned when I was very young from my wise parents that life by itself is difficult enough without negatively encountering the law. I went to college with those who became attorneys, and have known attorneys through working for charities we had in common, but I never needed legal representation until I was nearly 65 years old. It was a horrific traffic accident I was in nearly three years ago that first caused me to find and secure an attorney. There were several that urged me to contact the firm Wattell & York, one friend, having been in the same circumstance years ago, saying, “You don't stand a chance against the insurance companies. Its against their best interest and bottom line that they pay out claims of any size to anyone.” My first conversation after registering was with Michael York, one of the general partners of the firm. He took his time explaining in layman's terms the course ahead, then invited me to contact him at any time I had a question, concern, or thought. He was terrific and put any trepidations I had to rest. And my confidence in he and his team only grew as my case unfolded. When complexities arose, and they always do, I was so impressed and appreciative of his long and detailed correspondence, clearly articulating options. Throughout the complex and distended process of my case, I was always kept current as to the status of all developments as they transpired. Through much communication and correspondence, it was so evident to see that the general partners of the firm and all supportive staff act as a tightly coordinated force, always pressing forward with their client's best interest in mind. In a world where insurance companies act in the settlement phase of a claim so vastly different than their cute slick promotions strongly suggesting compassion, caring, and fairness for all, I feel beyond fortunate that I retained the services of Wattell & York. Thanks to Michael York, Wattell & York is an extremely competent, well run, and efficient organization that I highly encourage anyone to retain. When you do, with a determined and tenacious team on your side, you have a tremendous chance in getting the settlement you so richly deserve. Best Wishes, Tommy Neyhart (520) 220-0221

After 9 months of squabbling including a demand letter from an attorney, I was referred to Mr. York. Mr. York took the case and was able to work with the insurance company in an efficient and timely matter. He was able to get me reimbursed in only a few short weeks. I would highly recommend Mr. York to anyone.

James handled a matter for my wife and me. It was an experience that exceeded our expectations. He is trustworthy, honest, does exactly what he says he will do, and is an effective advocate inside and outside of the courtroom. He is aggressive when he needs to be, but he is always pragmatic and solutions-oriented. And he's not afraid of going to trial and fighting for you (he's very skilled inside of a courtroom). He promptly returns phone calls and emails, understands the law, and will give you candid feedback, even if it is not what you want to hear. You can always count on James to give you an honest opinion and to represent your interests with enthusiasm. I strongly recommend James and would not hesitate to hire him again.

As a result, the further we researched, the more questions we had, so we finally decided we needed professional input. We contacted James Cool and made an appointment for an after-business-hours telephone call. Within 30 minutes of our conversation, Mr. Cool had not only answered all of our questions but answered using practical examples that were easily absorbed. He showed great attention to detail and instilled a high level of trust. His demeanor was professional yet quite personable.

I was in a terrible motorcycle accident in 2012 that resulted in permanent injuries. I found Scott Palumbo quite by accident in 2013 and was so glad that I did, as the original attorney I was with, lost his license to practice law! Right from the start, you could tell that you were dealing with a talented family man who is passionate about his work, and who has principals and integrity. I immediately knew that I was in capable, experienced hands, which instantly put my mind at ease after the experience I had with the prior attorney. Over the last couple of years I have gotten to know Scott & all I can tell you is that he is an exceptional "one in a million" professional and is a man of substance. He is detailed, trustworthy, provides expert guidance, informative through out the entire process, gets results and most importantly puts your interests well ahead of his own. I will always be truly grateful to both Scott and his extremely competent Legal Assistant Susan and consider myself very blessed for having found him.

It was a privilege to have Scott Palumbo as my attorney. I was involved in a motorcycle accident causing hospitalization and rehabilitation. To find quality representation, I asked my mother to contact her friend who is the City Attorney of my hometown. She recommended that I contact Palumbo Wolfe & Palumbo. To sum up my experience, everything went smoothly and I always knew what to expect. Scott took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and gave me a sense of ease. It was very easy to contact Scott when I needed something. I find Scott's character honest, knowledgeable, and confident. I am more than happy with the results. I highly recommend Scott to represent cases involving motorcycle accidents.

Hopefully you will never need the services Palumbo Wolfe & Palumbo offer, but if you do you will not find better representation than Scott Palumbo and staff. He specializes in representing catastrophic and life changing injury cases. He is the Michael Jordan of Trial Attorneys, no joke. My case went 3 years and finally settled days prior to trial. During that time I watched Mr. Palumbo in front of the judge and was truly impressed at his ability to think 12 steps ahead of the defense. He is a family man with high standards and exceptional character. He is a straight shooter and will tell you how it is. He has great support staff that communicates very well and doesn't miss a thing.

His team was always professional and kept me informed. He went above and beyond to ensure I understood all of my rights and the different paths to take. When I had concerns or doubt, he and his team took the time to review all choices so I could make the most informed decision. When you need a lawyer it is typically a time of great distress. He ensured to consistently check in on me and my stress levels displaying great empathy, sympathy, and support. Honestly, without his support I would have given up related to my case.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I cannot recommend Tom highly enough - and I'm certain that this review will not do him justice . . .but I'll try. In 2012 an individual hit me while I was at a stop, totaling my Ford F150. I suffered a concussion and several injuries which required surgery and rehab. Through no fault of Tom's, the case dragged on for 2 1/2 years prior to reaching a settlement. The process required my deposition, mediation and an insane amount of discovery. Through it all, Tom was amazing! He and his staff treated me like family. Tom contacted me often, ensuring that I never wondered for a moment what was going on in my case or how hard he was fighting for me. The deposition and mediation were so much less stressful than they could have been. Tom thoroughly prepared me and ensured I knew exactly what to expect. Tom took the time to understand what my priorities for settlement were and why. This meant so much to me. Ultimately, Tom got an extremely favorable settlement for me, and I am eternally grateful. I highly recommend Tom - I cannot imagine having to go through the process with anyone else.

Tom came to SC to defend my wife who was charged with two counts of murder....of which she is innocent. Tom did a tremendous job and after a month long trial that involved hundreds of testimonials, including intense and complex medical testimony, the jury was hung and a mistrial was declared. Tom was ready to return to SC again to represent Gail, but Judge James refused to grant Tom permission to represent Gail since he was not licensed in SC. Things did not go well in the next trial in part because of Tom's absence. I'm now doing all I can to have Gail set free from prison, where she is serving a life sentence for a crime that did not occur. Gail and I both feel that if Tom would of been allowed back for the retrial, she would of been found not guilty and this nightmare would of been over. Thank you Tom for all you did for Gail and myself. We will never forget you and we thank you for believing in Gails innocence. I am now putting together a team to file habeas corpus for Gail. I will never give up on having Gail set free.

I was involved in a car crash where a guy with a 20ft trailer passed me on the shoulder of the one lane on-ramp shortly before entering the freeway. I was represented by an attorney who dropped the case when I was unwilling to accept a ridiculous settlement offer from the insurance company (Allstate). I called all of those injury / accident law offices which advertise constantly on the radio and billboards, the answer was always the same „Sorry, if it’s already in litigation, we are unable to take the case“ When I was about to give up and represent myself, I stumbled upon Eric’s phone number and I was surprised that I was able to talk to him directly, not through some „intake secretary“. He immediately told me that he would be happy to represent me but that he had an appointment on the day of the hearing which was scheduled a few days later. He called the court and was able to get another continuance, (the hearing had already been rescheduled several times). The end of the story: We won the case. Eric was extremely well prepared and I was impressed how he presented the case. I don’t think that any attorney could have done a better job. The other party was represented by a mean former prosecutor who tried to blame me for the crash. I am not sure what the outcome would have been without Eric.

I was in the middle of a personal injury case that started heading south in late 2007. Mr Thomson guided me through the process necessary to substitute him as my counsel. His representation through a trial setting resulted in a defense counsel, representing my opponent, offering five times the settlement amount that was offered through prior counsel. He explained to me later that not all attorneys accept pi clients with his commitment to follow it through a trial setting. In my experience, his professionalism and courtesy toward me as with others involved was beyond exceptional. As client, my views were in part unrealistic and perhaps naive or ignorant are accurate descriptors. Anyway, he remained cool headed right down to the wire and set aside time for me along the way and afterwards to make sure I felt in the know. I think that you will agree his people skills and professional candor make him second to none. I mean that he won't waste your time and you will find his manner extraordinary.

Jim Penney has successfully assisted with multiple unfortunate civil issues encountered here in Southeastern Arizona. In a government position, a female co-worker made bogus accusations that she had been sexually harassed. When it came time for the deposition, she suddenly had a severe case of amnesia and in fact became quite angry when Jim caught her in her insatiable scenario of lies. At a retail store, a female manager kept using unwelcomed words of endearment such as “hon, daring, sweetie…” when we were not dating. After multiple requests to stop such conduct, termination was the ultimate punishment. Jim was able to obtain a “Right to Sue Letter” from the E.E.O.C. An H.O.A. President felt it was OK for females to enter the Men’s shower facility unannounced. An effective but diplomatic warning from Jim took care of that problem. Another employer felt it was appropriate to terminate an employee for reporting serious health and safety issues on the job site in addition to known sex offenders hanging out in the children’s area. His representation earned an unemployment insurance claim. Jim has been a straight shooter when it comes to a projected case outcome and finances. He returns the majority of phone calls within 24 hours. Thus he has truly earned “The Best Civil Attorney in Southeast Arizona”

My experience with Mr. Penny begin about 10 years ago when he was selected as someone to help me during an injury. He successfully provided an opportunity for a fair settlement due to that injury. My experiences with him provided his expertise and assistance at a very emotional time. He went on to provide other necessary services and information as needed in the past 10 years. Always professional, friendly and helpful. He is highly recommended by me and my husband.

My son and I were in a terrible 3-car accident in Tucson. I went to Hollingsworth Kelly Law Firm and they really came through for us. The staff is professional and experienced. I was pleased with our settlements and that they were able to reduce our hospital liens. Hollingsworth Kelly also set-up a conservatorship for my son. I whole-heartedly recommend the attorneys at Hollingsworth Kelly.

After my car accident, I experienced pain that kept me from performing even easy everyday activities. I was fortunate to find an outstanding attorney, Louis Hollingsworth, to represent me in my case. Louis and his staff took care of all the details related to my case--they dealt with the insurance company, resolved my medical liens, and were always available to answer my questions. I was very pleased with my settlement and with the professional and caring way I was treated by the Hollingsworth Kelly Law Firm.

Mr. Page helped me to settle my car accident claim against two very difficult insurance companies. It was a long process due to its complication, but Mr. Page walked me through the whole process. At one point, he told me if this were going to the court, he would still stick to our original engagement letter (you know most attorneys charge differently for the trial) just because he could not stand what the insurance company was trying to do on my claim. Fortunately, my case got satisfactorily settled without going to the court. I think he probably should have retired by now, but I would highly recommend him because he knows what he does and more importantly, he has the ethics that are the key to everything. Thank you so much Mr. Page.

I could not have asked for a better legal experience. Jim worked efficiently to provide me with the best settlement possible. In an industry lacking moral fiber, Jim is as honest and hardworking of an attorney as you will find. I would gladly refer him to anyone that I cared about.

At first Rob wasn't sure if he would take my case. After speaking more at length with him he felt that he did want to help me. It took 3 years. Through the entire process Rob was very caring, compassionate and thorough. I knew he really cared about all of his clients. I live in another state so I would have to come back to AZ to prepare for the depositions and all the doctor appts. I felt like Rob was always with me and helping me. We were able to settle my case before it went to trial.

Atty Kleinschmidt went above and beyond the call of duty on my case. He worked day and night and believed in me and never doubted me or gave up on my case. He was tireless and brilliantly worked my case. This man gives a whole new meaning to attorneys because he truly cares about his cases and believes in the fairness of the law and fight tooth and nail for his clients. He does not pass his work off to associates or assistants he does the research, footwork and hard work. He truly is an old school atty in the modern times with a brilliant mind. You are lucky to be chosen as his his client.

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.

What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?

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.

How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee model. General estimates include:

  • 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:

  1. What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
    Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. Have you worked with expert witnesses?
    Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

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.
