I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional support I received during my I-130 process, which took about six months. Attorney Pandeli and the team Ruth were amazing to work with—always prompt, transparent, and extremely helpful with their guidance. They ensured everything went smoothly as long as I followed their clear directions.
What truly stood out was their professionalism and the reasonable pricing compared to other immigration lawyers. I deeply appreciate their dedication and hard work throughout the process. Thank you all for your unwavering support!
If you’re looking for a trustworthy and efficient immigration attorney, I highly recommend Attorney Pandeli and their team.

Adam and Meri, along with their professional team,were nothing but compassionate and superb. Because of the nature of my situation I felt as though they truly wanted to help and were concerned about my well-being. They listened to everything I had to say and treated me with respect. They were in constant communication and updated me frequently on the status of my case. They have become like family to me. I would highly recommend them to anybody in need.

What can I say. When I 1st went up to the office Adam was there a long with his team. And they IMMEDIATELY made me feel like family. Having to go through probate and a court appointed administrator I had to deal with a lot of different lawyers. Nothing compares to the way Adam and his team were. I NEVER had a problem getting him or anyone on the phone or an email response. Mind you I had given up because my case was turnt down by multiple lawyers. But Adam took the case and we won and I can’t thank him enough for everything. He absolutely deserves a 5 out of 5.

Our family met Attorney Joseph King roughly 16 years ago for a Malpractice case regarding my father.... It was a journey that can take some years, that is how the system works generally. Mr. King is the best in his field as well as a human being that genuinely cares for all his cases and the victims that have been wronged... I have in fact kept into touch with Mr. King over the years... I am now in a very complicated prediciments that I would only trust Mr. King, confident that not only he is the best, but he will leave no stone unturned and will work in my best interest. I can trust him with a blind eye. If you are looking for someone - honorable, loyal and hard working you've found him... This recommendation is from a client that has known Mr, King over 16 years.... Look no further.... Mr. King's first and only priority is the client. If there is a situation if Attorney King feels that a peer may do more justice, he never hesitates to refer... He is a good and honest man.

Watch out for this law firm. They work with GC that have paper set to move with letters, no proof just timed letters. They are not ethical and will not research to make sure their case is real or factual. They only force what their Payee tells them. Even if you ask them for something you signed or an associate signed, they will not generate it. Only state this is required and never show a form that proves this with a signature. Then enforce timed paperwork to take the funds owed to you for your subcontract paperwork. So when their GC says to do something will only ignore you and move forward with their paperwork regardless of it being ethical or legal.

Rob Fleming did an outstanding job representing me in a medical malpractice case. His legal mind is outstanding and his level of expertise in medical malpractice is second to none. From the moment that I went in for the first consultation to the very successful resolution of my case, Rob was amazing. He is an outstanding listener and he brilliantly navigated the legal process from start to finish for me. Rob is one of the best attorneys, if not THE BEST, in his field. The level of communication throughout the entire legal process was excellent. Each step of the process was appropriately discussed and all options were carefully detailed. His attentiveness to my phone calls and emails was excellent and always very prompt. I hope you never need representation with a malpractice issue, but if you do, your first call should be to Rob Fleming. I absolutely could not be any happier with his representation and you should consider yourself in the BEST MALPRACTICE LEGAL HANDS available in the Southeast. I wish I could give him 50 stars!

Rob Fleming took my medical malpractice case when no one else would. He believed he could help me and worked hard to do so. I received a good settlement from the insurance company due to Rob’s knowledge, experience, and hard work. He communicated well and regularly with me. I am very grateful a friend referred me to him, or I probably would have given up on my case. I consider Rob a friend after working with him for years on my complicated case. I am grateful to him and strongly recommend him.

When you're going through a divorce, it's one of the most challenging and emotionally taxing experiences you can face. Even the most rational person can act irrationally under such stress, and unfortunately, some law firms exploit this, turning divorces into drawn-out, more expensive, and unnecessarily contentious affairs. But then there’s Narissa.
Narissa genuinely strives for fairness, not just for you but for all parties involved. She keeps a laser focus on what's best for the children and understands the importance of preserving your future relationship with your ex-spouse. When children are involved, like it or not, your ex will continue to be part of your life, and Narissa recognizes how crucial it is to maintain peace, while protecting you, even in the toughest situations. She helps you navigate the pros and cons of your steps ypu can take in your case with these values in mind.
If you're considering or have decided on divorce and have children or assets to protect, I highly recommend consulting with Narissa. She is a steady hand through one of life’s most turbulent times.

Horrible intake interaction, and was a barebone lack of clear fact finding. Lying to potential clients and disregarding referential treatment, because a method wasn't the same as usual. No call back to even say yay or nay. Shows a lack of professionalism. Although, can't speak for the attorneys in this matter as I never got past the gate keeper. I was referred by an attorney that has gained my trust, and that is the real shame.

I went on a search to find an attorney that would take on my unique and sensitive case. The moment I spoke with Alyssa I knew I found a rare gem that would treat me and my case with the care, dignity, and professionalism it deserved. Alyssa stayed in constant contact guiding and updating me each step of the way. This was my first experience working with an attorney and she has set the bar extremely high. Her attention to every detail and her genuine passion to seek justice resulted in a more than satisfactory outcome. Alyssa Baskam is an amazing attorney and you would be making a great decision having her in your corner.

I used Fisher and Phillips (Boston office) for a US business visa from the U.K.
Brian Coughlin was my lawyer (whom I knew previously) along with his team: Casandra and Tatiana , who worked on the application. They provided a flawless service. The initial
Consultation, scope of the work, the transparency of the fees and payment schedule along with the actual application and supporting documentation itself was great. I can’t speak on the company as a whole or the other offices but I was very impressed by Brian and his team , they represent the firm well. Thank you for the service, I’ll be recommending to friends and family for immigration and business related legal work. ⭐️

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:
-
What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases. -
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.
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.
