I was involved in a life changing motor vehicle accident and retained Shapiro Law firm to assist my family in holding the defendant and insurance company accountable for the life impacting physical and monetary damages sustained. They were successful in recovering a comprehensive financial settlement for my family’s future and to help bring me whole again. I would absolutely recommend David Shapiro Law team to help you achieve satisfactory results in your lawsuit and to better your situation.

David Shapiro was not our first call to an attorney but definitely our last. He took excellent care of us in choosing great physicians in many different specialties because of our injuries. He was always there to answer our many, many, MANY questions. He is kind, knowledgeable and fantastic on follow through. His staff is excellent as well. He is just the angel we needed. He even got us policy limits without going to court. God bless you David and many thanks again.

Guided us through the unknowns when in our (not our fault) rollover accident. Took away our stress and anxiety so we could deal with medical and replacing our vehicle. They negotiated a good settlement. We would have been lost without the Shapiro Law Team.

After Kevin Neal and the Gallagher & Kennedy Firm represented me following my husband's wrongful death in a plane crash, I highly recommend their services. From our initial contact, Kevin and Sharlee provided us with compassion, integrity, and a dedication to excellence. Their team worked tirelessly, exhausting all areas of expertise to bring closure to my family’s case. What began with my own uncertainty and the facts and details of the case, Kevin transformed through extensive research and the accumulation of multiple perspectives and explicit data in our favor. This resulted in top-notch legal representation that went beyond a mere business transaction, becoming a partnership in seeking justice for my family. We are deeply grateful for their expertise, patience, and perseverance throughout the case. Kevin and his team’s knowledge and skill in fighting to the last moment ensured the utmost care and certainty for us. While no amount recovered can bring back my husband, I am confident he can rest peacefully knowing that Kevin Neal and his associates fought relentlessly to provide us with the closure and means to carry on his legacy. If you or a loved one find yourselves in need of an attorney, especially for an airplane-related death claim, I highly recommend Kevin Neal with full confidence that you will receive the same exceptional care and representation that my family experienced.

I have known Kevin for over 10 years. I have used his services in both my professional and personal life. As the owner of a business having lawyer you can trust and who treats you like a friend has been a true blessing. As a former law enforcement officer, my opinion of lawyers was not very high until I met Kevin. He is the real deal! When it comes down to it...the smartest guy in the room usually wins the fight. This is why I will never be in a fight without Kevin by my side.

Hello, I just have to say that Brian is a wonderful hard working Attorney. He took my case which was very hard to prove. And he worked diligently until he was able to get me some money. I truly thought I wouldn’t receive anything or if I did it would be about $4 or 5 thousand. It was much more. I would refer all of my family and friends to Brian because they would be in the hands of someone who truly cares.

Erlichman Law Firm has represented me as well as my family members and friends over the course of 30 years. We would NEVER think of calling on any other Attorney to represent our family and friends in matters of accidents, injury, and liability cases. Joseph Erlichman is the BEST of the BEST, when it comes to litigating and winning cases, that appear impossible. He's never lost a case for me, nor any other family member or friend I've ever referred to him. More importantly he is a man of integrity, highly knowledgeable, and respected in his field of expertise. He shows up prepared to fight using all the resources he needs to WIN. The staff is professional, thorough, and always makes the clients feel they're Mr. Erlichman's only case, which is a great feeling. Mr. Erlichman is responsive, attentive, and gets results. I am fortunate, and blessed to have him in my corner when there is a need for sound legal representation.

I had a bad fall out with my business partners. When I hired Adam I was on the verge of completely losing all my shares to my partners because they had the majority vote. After our first meeting, I knew he was going to be my lawyer because he asked all the right questions. He explained what my rights were and the legality (or lack of) in what they were trying to do to me. He discussed a few approaches I could take and discussed all the pros and cons of every approach. He took all my advice into consideration when putting a game plan together. So of course I hired him. I was ready for a very long battle because it got very personal between us. I knew nobody was willing to budge. To make a long story short, it is now 6 months later and the case is over. I sold my shares for almost 10% more than my asking price. Adam is hands down the best lawyer I have ever worked with. He made me feel like I was his only client. He remembered every detail about my case every time we spoke. Not to mention he is very generous when counting his hours. I highly recommend Adam. It was a pleasure working with him

My wife and I used their website to see if we had a medical malpractice case. Kyle Shelton emailed us a response within 15 minutes and we submitted it after 9:00 pm. He did not think we had a case but even still they spent time they did not have to spend explaining the circumstances why and wishing us all the best. This is above and beyond customer service and we will be coming back if we have any other potential legal issues.

I would like to thank Shah & Associates Law Firm for their excellent services in my case. Dr. Zaheer A Shah, Mr. Kyle Shelton, and Mr. Erik Johnson were helpful and extremely supportive since the beginning of the case. Their excellent communication took all stress out of the process. The initial settlement offer from the other party was unreasonable. Dr. Shah called and informed me about the offer and we both felt that the amount was unacceptable. He went above and beyond my expectations and attained a very reasonable settlement without going to the court. They explained everything step by step and always answered all of my questions. They were always available through phone and email. They kept me informed of all the details that were related to the case. I am very fortunate and delighted that they were able to handle my case. I would highly recommend Shah & Associates Law Firm to anyone.

When I was hurt five years ago by doctors that I trusted in Casa Grande, I had no idea who to turn to. I read about Dr. Shah and Kyle Shelton online and met them both. I could tell right away that Dr. Shah, with his medical knowledge, was able to figure out how the medical malpractice happened to me. From that point forward, I knew I was in great hands. Kyle and Doc have treated me like family. I spoke with Kyle on Christmas one year, just to talk about my case. Kyle and Doc told me that they only take the cases where doctors clearly broke a safety rule and where someone has been seriously injured. That is what happened to me and I am so glad I have them in my corner. I have seen Kyle in action in court, and he is smart and means business. They have pursed justice for me and continue to pursue justice for me 100%. I can't recommend Kyle enough. You would be a fool not to go to Kyle and Dr. Shah if you have been the victim of malpractice.

I spoke with David about a situation that I wasn’t sure whether I had a case or not. I explained the best I could to him my situation, and through our conversation with him, asking me questions and telling me how the system works I believed that I would be wasting his time Going forward. However, even though this was a consultation and David knew that he wasn’t going to have me as a client. He gave me valuable information that I can use going forward and discussing my issue with the doctor that almost killed me. His advice was worth everything to me. We were able to talk freely and I felt that David was more of a friend than just an attorney I had called up. Although hopefully I don’t have to consult with David again, if I ever do get this position again he is gonna be my first call. He was very honest and straightforward and took more time than I expected to go through my situation. Definitely this man is very intelligent and well-versed on his field. I would definitely hire this man.

David Sumner is everything one could hope for in an attorney when one's loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury. He is smart, informed, compassionate and the most diligent, hardworking individual I have encountered. My husband's hospital file alone was over 3,000 pages and he studied every one of them, multiple times. He methodically built a case, based on evidence, in order to counter the misrepresentations put forth by attorneys for the defense. He obtained expert witnesses that were truly expert and put out a large sum of his own money in order to help our case go forward. He kept in contact with us and we always knew what was going on The most helpful thing for me, as we went through tough years with my husband's condition and the lack of concern from the hospital about their role, was his compassion and determination to fight the good fight on behalf of one who could not fight the fight himself. His hard work brought about a good settlement and we are forever grateful.

I reached out to several law firms and so fortunate to select Richard Traulsen and his paralegal Coleen. He seemed the most knowledgeable and experienced in motorcycle injuries and the settlement they fought for me showed this through. His paralegal Coleen was phenomenal she steo by step walked me through all the documents I had to gather and answered all the questions I had promptly.

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.

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.

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

I had a significant problem with a large auto insurance company in paying labor rates at a recommended auto body shop. 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.

My wife and I had done quite a bit of research as to the ins and outs of the laws pertaining to an employment contract. 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. My wife and I felt as if a giant weight had been lifted off of our shoulders. Based on our experience, we highly recommend him.

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.

She was struck by a negligent driver while she was riding her bike on a city sidewalk. She sustained multiple serious injuries and required extensive hospital treatment and medical follow-up. Her claim against the other driver’s insurance company was resolved much to our satisfaction. Mr. Black has continued to help me with other legal matters and when my inquiries are not in areas in which he regularly practices, he has been very helpful in helping me to connect with other top professionals.

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. He helped me to understand I had a case and supported me through to a successful ending. I would give him more stars if I was able!

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.

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?

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.
