Mr. Samples and his team were always honest and courteous. The time put into my case was accumulative work for a three year spanse. Even though a jury did not find in our favor, it was not due to a lack of tenacity , or experience , from Mr. Samples and his team. Only small town politics.

Reid definitely has the energy and passion to be in this business. He took the time to fully go over our case, listed to our story without bias, and formed a case that not only helped us win in court but also helped us maintain our strength as a brand. Give Reid your confidence and he will not disappoint.

I've had the opportunity to work with Phil Piggott on several different matters for my company over the last several years and I recommend him without reservation. Phil is professional but extremely personable, knowledgeable, resourceful, and thorough. Phil is a lawyer that will put in the hard work to handle your case, with your best interest at heart, and you will enjoy working with him. He is willing to go beyond the courtroom, out in the field (however unpleasant that may be!) to investigate and prepare all aspects of the case. I am also a lawyer, and work with many other lawyers daily. Phil is a skilled lawyer you can trust and communicate with easily -- and he replies to calls/emails promptly!

My wife and I were in a serious automobile accident. After interviewing 3 other lawyers, we decided on James. While we were impressed with his track record, the most important thing for us was his caring nature. He really seemed to care about our situation.
Four months later, we couldn"t believe the settlement he got us. It was beyond our greatest expectations.
I would recommend him to anyone.

Chris is quite smart, and that's obvious to most people from the moment you meet him. it is no accident that he ends up having a hand in writing so many of the firm's appeals, briefs and complaints, as well as our more esoteric legal research.

Attorney Carroll was extremely helpful with my case. He was upfront on what I could expect and the time it would take to handle such a case like mine. He was prompt to return my calls and very knowledgeable on the eb and flow of a personal injury case. I would recommend him. He is fair and worked hard for me.

Leigh is truly an advocate. While my reasons for needing her were, and are, painful, her compassion and real human feeling, made my experience, in fact, my life, better for having known her. She feels more like a friend, than a lawyer.

Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Cindy are two of the absolute sweetest women I’ve ever met!!! My attorney and I, were privileged enough to secure Mrs. Lisa, as our mediating lawyer. She was compassionate and transparent. She listened to UNDERSTAND and not just to reply. She shot me straight and kept me in line, when needed, and she also provided unwavering support when I had a legitimate stance. I can’t express how much I will always have the upmost respect and a heart full of gratitude for her and Mrs. Cindy!! I would advise ANY person going through a divorce to INSIST on securing LISA L. WOODS, as their mediating attorney!!

Lisa is an excellent lawyer. This was self-evident from the inception of my case. I think more importantly, though, I’m very proud of the way she conducted herself representing me throughout the process. She demonstrated that mudslinging does not equate to zealous advocacy. She achieved excellent results for me and did it while keeping me in check to be a decent human being as opposed to a litigant blinded to human casualties. Lisa is a good person and I’m proud to have called her my lawyer.

I came to the Harris firm to help with my divorce and at first attorney Bussey was my first pick. But after she left the firm I trusted Mr. David Miller to help with my case, which was the biggest mistake ever!! After paying $2,000 retainer fee, and speaking with him, he assured me that he had my best interest and his loyalty was invested with me. Well after a week of paying my fee, he calls me three days before my hearing to discuss my case, we show up for court, missed the time slot to see the judge by 2 minutes for an early trial. After missing the judge, and countless attempts to call him, Mr.Miller finally explained to me that he couldn’t help me and unfortunately I would have to move out my home and find another place for me and my son to live. Mr.Miller worked on my case for three days, missed the judge for court and still kept my retainer fee after knowing I had spent the last of my money hoping he would help my case. He didn’t help me at all, and I was also losing my home. When I asked Mr.Miller about my retainer fee, he said the money went to the hours of paperwork he put in on my case, when in fact my previous attorney had already established the paperwork and follow up for him regarding my case. I feel used and cheated out of my money especially after not doing a single thing for my case at all. Mr. Miller is a blood thirsty attorney that took my money when he made no impact on helping my case at all. Honestly giving him one star was not even my choice. You are wrong Mr. Miller and God will hold you accountable for your misdeeds and for mishandling a woman of God when she trusted you with her last, you didn’t earn not one dime of that money, I basically paid you to talk on the phone. SMH!! Shame on you sir!! May God bless your wicked heart and money hungry soul.

Attorney Eastwood (Lindsey) and Bayley were so helpful and willing to assist me with the challenges I'm facing as a result of my Mother’s untimely death. Bayley was exceptional in explaining a family members' unexpected action. I really appreciated her candor. This firm understands customer service.

If you’re looking for knowledgeable, compassionate and professional legal representation and advice, I strongly recommend Attorney Eastwood (Lindsey) and Bayley. They are a great team.

Mrs. Eastwood and her staff are excellent. Super friendly and knowledgeable. I had a problem with family after my mom passed. She wouldn't take it to court as I was already handling things correctly and it would be just a waste of my money. Can you imagine?! A lawyer that is honest enough to not take you because it would not benefit you. I was stunned. She also wrote a letter for me stating the business at hand so I could give to my family. I didn't use her this time (thank you Lindsey) but I will be back to write out my own will.

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.
