Mr. Hemming is very knowledgeable and offered excellent guidance. I had spoken to several other attorneys that left me feeling like they were just there to take my money. Mr. Hemming however had my best interest in mind in all regards. It is very clear he cares about his clients. He sets clear expectations and is proactive with asking questions and performing research. I truly can’t say enough about my wonderful experience dealing with him. You should feel very confident having his firm in your corner!

I was referred to Shin Law Group and Jonathan through a family member that was actually sued by his group due to a car accident (they got 25k for a SCRATCH against my family member) and boy am I happy to say, that things were as smooth as they come using their firm. From personal experience handling a car accident ESPECIALLY against a driver who has no insurance or minimum insurance, I can't recommend getting a lawyer enough. And what a team Shin Law Group has. From quick referrals to chiropractors and other forms of pain management, quick responses by phone and a clear explanation of how things go down after an accident with insurance, look no further than Shin Law Group. I will be definitely coming back in the future if I am in need of a lawyer in a field that they specialize in.

Their strategy throughout the process was excellent, and they stand out as some of the best in the industry, not just for their results but also for their professionalism and integrity.

This is the first time I had been in an accident but I already knew I didn't want to deal with insurance or the other party. Jonathan gave me a call the next day and explained the complete process. He was able to secure a great settlement but the best part was his office was always available for questions when I had them.

The Smith and Zitano team were a Godsend. We had a tragic medical issue occur to our family.

However, from my first interaction with David and Elisa, I knew that they were not only experts in the field, but compassionate individuals. They had spent hours with my family and were the utmost prepared. It was such a relief to know we had them on our side. Even the other lawyers had mentioned how prepared and knowledgeable they were. In the end, we reached a decision that we were completely satisfied with. They treated us with great respect and helped us manage through these terrible times. I would recommend them 110%. They are the utmost professionals and I will be indebted to them forever.

He gave excellent advice during the preliminary stages of the lawsuit which helped guide me towards a successful outcome. He did so well the first time that I have made him my go-to attorney for any and all matters dealing with medical malpractice lawsuits.

From day one, he was very clear about how the process would work and surprisingly accurate about timelines and other estimates. We eventually reached a fair settlement that I was pleased with. John kept in constant contact and always made clear what was needed and when it was needed. The process is never fast and easy, but John made it as painless as possible.

I consigned a vintage car in an action. It sold. The auction house delayed paying me the hammer price. When I enquired about the delay they told me the buyer was disputing the provenance of the car. At that point I hired Cheryl Ruggerio to negotiate on my behalf. She was very thorough and quick to understand all the documentation I presented her with and was able to research and fill in all the gaps providing the auction house with indisputable evidence of the cars long history. She presented the new found information and documentation to the auction house and negotiated a settlement to the agreement of all concerned parties. Cheryl Ruggierro was a great listener, patient and got right onto it.

A good friend referred me to Greg Martin and I am incredibly glad she did! Greg and his team quickly scheduled a time to talk and then walked me through my options. The advice they gave was crucial in ultimately getting my landlord to capitulate. Greg was very very clear and concise in his directions and seemed very invested in my case.

I was one of the unfortunate people who got caught up in the recall of hip replacement hardware. At the time I was in need I was unable to find a single firm in my area of Portsmouth, VA who was taking clients with this particular problem. I contacted Walkup, Melodia through their website and was put in contact with Conor Kelly. He was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and never failed to return a phone call promptly. During this long four year process both he and subsequently Khaldoun Baghdadi handled my case expertly and was able to satisfy my case better than I ever expected. I would not hesitate to use them again or hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing representation. By the way, their staff of secretaries and paralegals were equally qualified and extremely helpful.

They were both very attentive to our needs and extremely sensitive to our case since it was involving the death of our son. They went above and beyond what we expected and got us the best outcome that was possible. They left no stone unturned in their investigation and gathering of evidence. I have the utmost respect and confidence in them. They both have a lot of integrity and were very honest and real with us. They have a lot of compassion and even reduced the fees that they took in the end. That was huge in my book. I very highly recommend them. I doubt you will find better attorney's then Khaldoun and Matthew. They are both an amazing pair of attorney's and work very well together. They are the best of the best!

I've had the pleasure of working with Ted for 10 years in a medical malpractice defense capacity. His inimitable attention to detail and his availability for time-sensitive matters never failed to provide great comfort for both my insurance carrier employer and its clients (medical professionals). From day-to-day issues requiring specific legal advice and analysis, to a very medically-complex jury trial in Sac. Superior Court (and the several years of representation and navigation that led up to it), Ted has proven time and again that he is worthy of mention with the very highest echelon of his peers in Northern California and beyond.

David defended us in a medical malpractice case against a patient/plaintiff, and demonstrated solid wisdom that he had picked up in decades of experience. His understanding of the process and substance were invaluable guidance through the process. To top that, he prevailed outright when he was forced to go to trial. The patient got nothing, despite all the shenanigans the patient's attorney threw at him. We were very satisfied. Besides his legal expertise, he is a very personable and honest person. Each time we have a question about the case, about the plaintiff or the court, he was always there available and helpful. He is very patient and his solid and in depth knowledge give his clients confidence and put them at ease. He is one of the best attorneys I have worked with. I have no hesitation in recommending him. One of the best.

As the Executive Director of a San Francisco based medical malpractice insurance company, I have worked with David Depolo for 15 years. Mr. Depolo has defended many of our insured/physicians over the course of those years. The company and the insureds have consistently found that Dave is trustworthy and exceptionally knowledgeable in medical/legal environment. Dave takes his work very seriously, and this is reflected in his commitment to his clients. In short--Dave cares about his clients. He will work with honest determination for the best possible outcome. I highly recommend David Depolo as an attorney and as a person. For the past 15 years I have relied on his intelligence and objectivity, and he has never let me down.

I hired Mr Depolo for two separate issues last year, one contractual and one administrative. He handled both in a highly professional manner, responding quickly to my questions and concerns and offering sound and excellent advice. He came highly recommended and it was clear early on why this was the case. I would readily refer him to a friend or family member for any legal issue.

I have known Tracy Davis and practiced law with her for over 25 years, I originally hired Tracy, in part because she had been a competitive ice skater and knew the value of hard work, as a lawyer in our predessor firm, Fonda, Garrard, Hilberman & Davis, She quickly became a 'go to' lawyer in that firm and its successor firm, Garrard & Davis, which was the predecessor to her current firm The Davis Law Group. Tracy has always distinguished herself as a person and lawyer with the confidence to take on and solve any challenge. She is smart, disciplined, caring and absolutely reliable. You won't find a lawyer who takes her client's cases to heart more than Tracy.

I was unfortunately involved in a lawsuit following a car accident I had. Ms. Davis reviewed the complaint and advised me as to what I should and shouldn't be concerned about, who to talk to, how to answer various questions relating to the accident, and just generally helped calm the situation for me. I found the lawsuit very disturbing and Ms Davis helped me weather the storm with confidence. The suit was eventually dismissed.

Mark handled our personal injury case with the utmost professionalism and expertise. He is a very warm and caring person who took the time to make sure that we had the necessary support to recover from our injuries. Mark investigated the accident, evaluated medical reports, and negotiated our settlement. Mark's comprehensive and thoughtful approach was key to obtaining a higher than expected amount. Moreover, Mark took away all of the stress and burden associated with personal injury cases. We did not need to deal with other lawyers, insurance companies, or medical groups. We highly recommend Mark.

With so many personal injury lawyers out there, who can you trust? Mark Fong guided us through two horrible incidents that I do not even want to access from my memory. His team is always on top of every detail and he is always available for questions and concerns regarding the case. He was compassionate and empathetic to all our needs and treated us as friends, not clients. Mark also has a top-notch network of Doctors and partners to help your case which was very impressive. I have referred him before and I will continue to do so in the future. His advice, guidance, dilligence, attention to detail, knowledge, experience and his relentless fight for your case is truly unparallelled. Thank You, Mark Fong and your team for everything you have done for our family.

He is intensely inquisitive, making sure that every important detail is reviewed and re-reviewed well in advance of trial. He knows how to be tough like a bulldog, but then he also has a warmth and charm that he adroitly uses to persuade and influence.

There are so many great things to say about Marty Weniz, this review cannot possibly do him justice, but here it goes: A few years ago, at the age of 25, I had sustained a fall while walking along an un-lit deck. In the dark, unbeknownst to me, there was no railing and I fell 5 feet breaking my leg. Or so I was told. Months later, after much persistent pain it turned out that the doctor failed to diagnose that I had shattered my heel as well, and that the fracture was so severe, it required immediate surgery at the time of the injury. My hind foot suffered permanent damage, to which I still feel the effects today. Beaten down, but fueled with the desire to seek some justice, I had looked around for attorneys and no one wanted my malpractice case because it wasn’t “serious enough;” did I mention everyone drooled over my personal injury case? That is until I found Marty. He met with me immediately; he told me that he was taking BOTH cases!!! He told me from the get go that this was going to be a process, and that I needed to be patient. Many discoveries, and often stressful depositions later, Marty always made sure I was super prepared for my depositions, and he kept me in the know, step by step. Then, almost like the universe came together to hand us good karma wrapped in a bow, in a matter of months, we got not one, but TWO very large settlements from the malpractice AND personal injury cases. Even Marty was flabbergasted that it happened so quickly and successfully! The point of my little tale is to not only to sing this lawyer's praises for all to read, but to solidify that I truly feel Martin Weniz is just about one of the best attorneys the legal profession has got. And, if that wasn’t awesome enough, he is a kind, empathetic, and courageous man who will fight for what he believes in. In my case, it was my plight! Thank you Marty!

When my family and I experienced a most unexpected and emotionally painful loss which we believed merited legal pursuit, we interviewed several plaintifs' attorneys before choosing to have Marty represent us. We were impressed not only by his knowledge, experience, and professionalism, but by his compassion. We also always felt that he was interested in our case for its relevance to challenges faced in the health care industry as well as its meaning to us personally. Our case took a long time to resolve. Re-experiencing the initial event over and over through the legal process was very hard, but Marty was right beside us to prepare us for each step, and support us through unpleasant things like the discovery process, and arbitration meetings. He always seemed to find time to just hear me "vent" or respond to what might have seemed "dumb" questions to someone with more experience. He understood that for us, our case was much more a matter of principle than monetary gain and represented us accordingly. In the end he helped achieve a settlement that was, I believe, viewed as fair on both sides of the table. While I sincerely hope to never need such services again, I am glad to know that Marty is around, just in case. I consider him still to be a friend.

We won the case and Kim was awarded the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association Top Gun Award in 2008 because of our case. She is an amazing woman and an excellent attorney.

Joe Bussone is a "lawyers lawyer". I know what I'm talking about because I am, like Joe, a litigation lawyer and I worked with Joe when we were both young associates for a busy Los Angeles litigation firm. We used to consult each other on the cases we handled and Joe gave me lots of good advice. That was in the mid-1980s, and we have remained friends since, and I have followed Joe's career. In his 30 plus years of experience, Joe has worked both for large law firms and as a sole practitioner, and has a broader and more practical approach to law than most attorneys. Focusing on civil litigation, he has handled an unusually wide variety of matters, for many different types of clients, including businesses and individuals, and understands how the economics of litigation vary depending on the client. He knows how to take a case trial and win, and that makes him all the better at negotiating good, early settlements that save clients the time and expense of going all the way through trial. Joe is fearless and persistent and an excellent lawyer.

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?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. 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.
