Mr. Glickman is a professional, he practices ethics violations in CA; he acted super invested in me, the client, even over himself, and honed in on case law that was imperative to my case. He was honest about the difficulties of my case due to a complexity issue unique of my case and didn’t try to bluff or gauge me for $ even though many another lawyers wouldn’t have been Ehtical like he is. A+ and I highly recommend his as competent and helpful. I have tried to call numerous lawyers that rudely don’t call back even after I take the time to call. Steve has great manners, is articulate, and if I could use him for trial I think compared to other attorneys out there he would be articulate, work hard, and be an amazing advocate for his client.

I hired Mr. Glickman to testify as an expert witness in a legal malpractice case. He was thorough, knowledgeable and made complex issues easy for a jury to understand. Mr. Glickman is a very credible expert and made an excellent presentation at trial. I would hire him again and strongly recommend him to other attorneys.

I have had the great pleasure of working with Steven C. Glickman over 20 years. He is not only an attorney of the highest caliber and professionalism but he is also a fine gentleman of the highest moral and ethic fiber. Steven has consistently performed as a winner for me and the many friends that I have referred to him. I trust Steven completely for my legal and other estate matters. He is a gentleman that I hold in very high esteem and proud to call him my counsel and friend. I highly recommend Steven C. Glickman and his dad David.

I was the driver of a motor vehicle, on August 6, 2006, stopped due to traffic on southbound I-5 in Los Angeles, when struck from the rear by an uninsured vehicle driven by a person with a suspended drivers license.
The damage to my vehicle was $4,535.68, including, but not limited to replacement of the exhaust system, rear body panel, rear bumper reinforcement, rear bumper cover, rear bumper lower energy absorber and rear bumper upper energy absorber, and repair of the left quarter panel, right quarter panel, left quarter panel extension, right quarter panel extension and rear floor, and requiring repair from August 16, 2006 through September 14, 2006. The damage to the other vehicle was total.
I injured my neck and right shoulder, requiring four neck surgeries and three shoulder surgeries. The third neck surgery resulted in permanent right vocal cord paralysis requiring two vocal cord surgeries, which were unsuccessful.
My insurance carrier, since 1990, was the third largest property and casualty insurer in the United States, and my coverage was $1 million for uninsured motorist bodily injury.
My insurance carrier refused my repeated demands that they pay me my policy limit, claimed that only my first two neck surgeries were related to the accident, my three right shoulder surgeries were unrelated to the accident, my last two neck surgeries were unrelated to the accident, and since the third neck surgery was unrelated to the accident, the permanent right vocal cord paralysis and two vocal cord surgeries were unrelated to the accident. They delivered a check to me for $750,000.00, which they referred to as an advance, and through their attorney demanded arbitration.
My brother, who is in the insurance industry, referred me to Carpenter, Zuckerman & Rowley, because John. Carpenter was successful in trying a case against his company to a jury verdict of $483,524.21, when the policy limit was only $100,000.00, and the company paid the $483,524.21 because it had exposed its insured to personal liability.
I spoke with Paul Zuckerman over the telephone, and he arranged to have me transported to his office along with all of my files. I met Mr. Zuckerman, Mr. Carpenter, and an associate named Robert Ounjian.
Robert Ounjian, who was promoted to partner, and for good reason, arbitrated my claim at Judicate West on April 30, 2013 and May 1, 2013, and the binding arbitration award was faxed on May 20, 2013. The arbitrator awarded me the remaining $250,000.00 uninsured motorist coverage. Robert was also able to get my former insurance carrier to reimburse me costs in the amount of $14,759.30.
Robert Ounjian, who is an excellent attorney, and the entire firm, did an excellent job representing me, and they will do an excellent job representing you too. Their principle is "justice for injured people is more important than insurance company profits."
"When your case is with CZ&R, you are armed to win."

I had met with many different attorneys before, finally having the luck to meet Edward Shkolnikov. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, honest and very talented criminal defense attorney.
Mr Shkolnikov was incredible in Court and I received the absolute best possible outcome - Not guilty for all counts verdict from the Jury. He is a fighter and a winner. Cannot thank him enough for his help. I highly recommend Mr. Shkolnikov.

I've had the pleasure of having Edward Shkolnikov defend me in a case that developed three years ago. Throughout this time he has been a consummate professional. Edward is an excellent attorney and I can't think of anyone else I would call to handle a case. Every time he came to court, he appeared with a friendly and positive attitude. He is excellent at his work, and he gets along well with his peers. This case went smoothly for me and everything worked out thanks to Edward Shkolnikov, attorney at law. It was really my blessing to have Edward defend me in my case and I would recommend him to anyone. He's truly a five-star attorney. - Israel Joseph I

This lawyer took on my case and was waiting for documents from the hospital and life insurance policy. Never communicated with me about anything. I called their office about 10-12 times and are always told I will get a call back that day. Well it’s been 3 months and not one of my calls have been returned.
Very unprofessional!!

Mr. Pollitt has represented our family on various issues for many years. He has fought dilligently on behalf of our family each time an issue has arose. He always stays in contact with us and directs us to the proper resouces and to the best care. After being involved in a serious collision and suffering severe injuries over 15 years ago, we were introduced to Mr. Pollitt. We are very grateful for the referral. Mr. Pollitt introduced my wife and I to wonderful doctors and ensured we were well taken care of theoughout the process. He was successful in recovering damages for us, and for that we were very grateful. We have had other issues and cases arise, both big and small, over the years, and Mr. Pollitt always gives us his full attention and handles our matters efficiently and effectively. We highly reccomend Mr. Pollitt to help anyone who has suffered a serious injury and is seeking legal representation.
Sincerely,
Pat and Maureen

Mr. Pollitt was on top of my case from the beginning. He would spend countless hours on the phone with me guiding me through every step; I felt like he really cared about me and I know he did. the insurance company really tried to twist my case around and make me look bad; Mr. Pollitt made them pay for that.
He recovered the entire policy limits for me.
I'm so thankful my friend told me to call him. I highly recommend this lawyer for any and all personal injury related claims.

I reached out to Dr Kramer due to a google search for helping with Malpractice from Kaiser. While Dr Kramer did come across short and rough over the phone, and requested a 5-figure up front retainer, I wanted to vouch for him since I saw so many people complain about his initial phone call.
He is rough and direct. But that is what you want in an attorney. He’s also uniquely qualified since he has both an M.D. as well as a J.D. He got his law degree from Stanford. I called on Memorial Day, a holiday where most firms only let me leave a voicemail and never actually returned the call, and DR. Kramer answered the phone personally. I was requesting an ex parte motion be filed asap and despite the short notice, he was willing to get it done in less than two days filed with the court.
He may not be the cheapest attorney, but he’s direct and answers the phone or messages you back quickly. This is a rare thing in the legal industry.
Most attorneys will likely give you a lot of lip service. I actually prefer the direct to the point nature that Dr. Kramer gives. He doesn’t waste time.
So if you are very sensitive and need someone to be gentle with you over the phone for an initial meeting, he likely isn’t the person for you. If you want an aggressive, hard working attorney who is overqualified for his role and still willing to take smaller cases, then he is your man. As an experience finance expert who graduated from Harvard University, I can genuinely tell you that this is a rare trait to have from an attorney. Anyone would be lucky to have him represent their case.

My son has a life long medical condition and Bradley wouldn’t even let me finish my story or details on the matter before cutting me off, being rude and so disrespectful. I have supporting documents and he still acted as if he didn’t believe the situation of malpractice.

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.
