Jim Cardea diligintley, professionally, and compassionately guided our family through a difficult time after the unnecessary loss of our mother after not being properly treated by both cardiologist and nurse during a severe heart attack . He provided realistic expectations and goals for the case and clearly explained the factors affecting such cases in Maryland. With a well crafted plan he and his team presented the truth of our case before the court to provide not just a successful day there, but more importanly, peace of mind for myself and our family.

Dear Mr. Robinson,
I wanted to write you a brief statement of commendation for the handling of my DUI case and for the benefit of others seeking a DUI lawyer. For the benefit of others, you WANT to hire this DUI firm! They are the BEST by far in the State of Maryland!
I am a pilot and REQUIRED a favorable outcome in my DUI to not only continue driving but to continue flying. Bruce took my case and assured me that everything would be worked out successfully. He said if there is a problem in court, his firm will continue to fight for me until we get the required result.
We went to District Court in Baltimore County and Mr. Robinson tried my case. He advised me ahead of time that we had an unfavorable and very harsh judge but that he would fight the case for me at trial regardless. He tried the case as promised and we did not obtain the result that I needed to continue my flying career. I was very concerned for my future and the next sequence of events to follow. Mr. Robinson assured me that this can happen with difficult judges but that he would continue to fight my case in the Circuit Court of Appeals.
Mr. Robinson explained all the options in my very delicate and complicated situation as a pilot. Ultimately, I picked an avenue that worked best for me and Mr. Robinson's firm actually got the case EXPEDITED on the Circuit court docket and got the EXACT result that I needed, thereby protecting my future.
Mr. Robinson's firm also went beyond the call of duty and dealt with Maryland's MVA as well as my out of state MVA to clear up issues there as well. The paralegal Melissa knows exactly what she is doing with various legalities and MVA situations. She gets things done! She is very knowledgeable, thorough, responsive and extremely efficient. Melissa continued to support my efforts even when I returned home out of state. She never left any of my concerns unanswered. Melissa is a very valuable part of the Robinson and Associates team.
I recommend this firm to whoever is looking for a DUI lawyer because the DUI TEAM at Robinson and Associates will go the extra mile to get the job done correctly. They have a friendly and supportive staff and they do what they say they will do. If you have a lot riding on the outcome of your DUI…HIRE THIS FIRM! This is the easiest call to make for a very serious situation. I have been where you are at now! CALL NOW!!!

I'm not much for words. I was hit head on in a car accident. The car involved hit two other cars plus mines. Thank the most highly that it wasn't as bad as it could have been for me. But besides all of this. What was a most comforting thing for me. Is that ROBINSON AND ASSOCIATES. NEVER LEFT MY SIDE. THEY Wrote or either called me simply to ask how I was FEELING...Those simple things made me feel Wonderful. They were like family simply just checking up on me. THEY NEVER NOT ONCE LEFT MY SIDE. I just wish to take this time to say THANK YOU. ROBINSON AND ASSOCIATES.

"I had urgency to solve my immigration problems, and I called different law firms in my city and nearby places. Some lawyers gave me an appointment and then called me to cancel, saying they had no time or availability. I couldn't wait any longer and eventually decided to go to Google to look for immigration lawyers. I found Fintus Immigration Law Group; I saw enough positive comments about them and that they had represented people of different nationalities, Asians and others. There were also many positive comments for lawyer Stefan Akorli. When I contacted them, they gave me a quick response and from that moment, the whole process was easier. I thank the firm for all his support, honesty and integrity and because choosing Fintus Immigration Law Group helped me have a quick, successful immigration case and I especially thank my attorney Stefan Akorli: he is polite, educated, very human and an excellent immigration lawyer. I would hire him again and I am so happy to say that I give 5 stars. To finalize, I just want to say to my attorney, thank you again for helping me and my husband to resolve our case quickly! I was completely dazzled by your communication skills and courage at our interview. We are very proud of you."
Thank you

I have been using Fintus Immigraiton Law Group and Stefan Akorli as my business's immigration law firm and lawyer for over a year. If you want a good law firm you have to pay for it. Fintus Immigration is a good immigration law firm.
Stefan Akorli is a good immigration lawyer. He works hard and does what is expected. As long as he/Fintus Immigration continues to take immigrartion concerns off my plate, I will continue to hire them.

It is tough to put into words, my experience with Mr. Stern. From day 1, he knew exactly how to go about moving forward with my case. His industry knowledge is unmatched and really put me at ease from the very beginning. I wasn't sure how the process worked but he was able to explain everything to me without using technical lawyer jargon. I look at him as an advocate that is ready to fight for me. Would most certainly recommend!

5 star above and beyond what I could have ever imagined during a very rough period after a horrific accident, Ben Stirling not only represented me but cared for my well being when I could not do for myself. From day one meeting for the first time he made sure I was comfortable explaining the process and found a way to address any concerns I had for a good outcome. Very patient & kind. He often went out of his way assisting me when not well connecting with me if impossible when I could not get to him. He reassures you that he will try his utmost best to provide you with a high level of expertise like no other and he did not disappoint. Always on top of his game, very professional, compassionate & on time with a smile on his face. If he says it, he stands by it. Never expected what I received in compensation. The staff continued to lend a helping hand whenever possible in a friendly and caring atmosphere. I am very, very satisfied with Ben and have highly recommended he and the law firm to others. If you connect with him you won't go wrong. Look him up, check him out!!!!!!!!!

I am writing to express my gratitude for the outstanding handling of my son's case by Dr. Manley and his team. Five plus years ago I began an effort to seek justice for my injured son in hope (in addition to financial compensation for Christopher and his siblings) that the physicians responsible for my son's injuries would be more aware of the relevant medical issues when responsible for care involving pregnancies like Christopher's. I believe Dr. Manley and his team accomplished this goal.
Searching for an appropriate attorney/firm to handle Chris' case was challenging. I encountered a variety of issues. I had prominent New Hampshire based firms state that Defendants in Christopher's case "never settle cases". It is my experience as a Corporate Attorney that firms with reputations for not wanting to litigate are seldom offered attractive settlements.
My perception was that many of the New Hampshire based firms appeared to have conflicts of interest having had the Defendants provide medical care to their colleagues/employees, although these firms were not always forthcoming when addressing this issue.
I had a "high-powered" Massachusetts firm opine that our case was "not win-able"
I eventually realized I needed to search outside New Hampshire for a firm with a reputation, financial resources, and attorneys willing to litigate every case in which it was necessary. As the old English metaphorical idiom goes, I realized I needed an "Elephant in the room" and/or "an eight-hundred-pound gorilla in the room". As I understand it, Defendants tried to bring in their own out-of-state, high-powered litigator (their "Elephant in the room") and when he was unavailable for our trial date, and the Judge had had enough of Defendants' typical delaying tactics, Defendants decided to acknowledge they were no match for our "Elephant in the room", Dr. Manley and your firm. So the reputation for Defendants in Christopher's case being unwilling to settle cases was overcome in Christopher's case. I am of the opinion that Dr. Manley's many years of experience as an actively practicing OB/GYN physician when utilized in questioning Defendants and Defendants' expert witnesses during depositions contributed significantly to Defendants' decision to make a "last minute" settlement offer.
I am eternally grateful for Dr. Manley's and your firm's efforts on our children's behalf.
Thank you Dr. Manley

Giles handled our wrongful death lawsuit involving our infant son. His medical expertise was a huge advantage in our case since the evidence and witnesses involved were incredibly specialized. Giles and the firm were not only excellent lawyers but they cared about our case and took a genuine interest in our needs and feelings. He communicated with us on a regular basis and included us promptly with updates and new information. Mostly, Giles was passionate and gave 110% into the case, which put our minds at ease knowing we were in such capable hands and we could trust him.

I highly recommend Vadim Mzhen, Angelica Carliner, and their law firm, regardless of how large or small your case may be, whether straight forward or complicated. They have the knowledge, experience, patience, persistence, and network of medical experts to ensure you have the best outcome for your case, whether personal injury or the untimely and preventable death of a loved one. Vadim, Angelica, and the entire firm will work diligently to represent you.
Vadim and Angelica successfully represented me in a very complicated three-part wrongful death lawsuit against an Assisted Living Facility and its large insurance company, represented by a very large and prestigious law firm with tremendous resources.
At all times, Vadim and Angelica were accessible and very responsive to my questions and concerns, communicating directly with me to explain strategies and the legal process honestly and clearly. They kept me informed and explained the legalities as the case progressed, while maintaining compassion and sensitivity to my loss. They truly worked for me, achieving a very favorable outcome and they will do the same for any of their clients.
I will always contact Vadim and Angelica for any future legal needs I may have and I am so very grateful for their tireless and unrelenting efforts on my behalf and justice for my dear Mom. Thank you so very much!

Catherine Dickinson and Michael Belsky were an absolute pleasure to work with. SBWD Law represented me in a complicated personal injury case where there were a lot of moving pieces. Catherine and Mike were always professional, compassionate, responsive, personable and considerate in every move they made towards me and/or my behalf. They allowed me the space to be vulnerable but also know that I can rely on their professionalism. Most importantly, I would recommend them because they are genuinely good people who care about their clients which is a rare find in today's world. I consider them like family and encourage anyone who can use their services to reach out.

My experience with Dov is that he is passionate about helping hurt children and their parents, and that he is at the top of his profession. One of his most recent wins involved a $10.5 million settlement for a seven-year-old girl, who suffered brain damage at birth. The case involved improper use of a drug, known as Misoprostol or Cytotec, which was given off-label to ripen the cervix and induce labor. Depositions showed there was ineffective communication between the nursing staff and the physician during labor, leading to a significant delay in responding to signs the baby was not getting enough oxygen or tolerating the labor. The settlement provided the child with up-front cash and future periodic payments to pay for her medical care, therapies, equipment, and present and future care. Also, the mother was compensated for her extraordinary services in caring for her disabled child. I know Dov to be extraordinarily diligent when it comes to keeping clients informed about their cases, and answering all their questions with kindness and concern. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

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.
