One of the best decisions of my life was choosing Steinberg Law Firm and working with attorney David Pearlman and his team. Mr. Pearlman made it very clear that he was working for me and advocated for me every step of the way. He made sure I was comfortable and responded quickly when I had questions or concerns. I never once felt alone during this process. The firm was available when I needed them and everyone in the office had a good understanding of my case. I did not have to reiterate details when I called in. The staff were always dependable. The paralegal, Ms. Winnie Snider, kept me well informed and provided pertinent updates when needed. I never felt rushed to make a decision and my voice was heard. I would recommend Steinberg Law Firm to my friends and family!

Bradford Andrews exceeded my expectations! I had a small case involving an auto insurance company that was not willing to cover damage to my vehicle through no fault of my own. Bradford handled my case quickly and efficiently. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, prompt to return my calls and answer any questions I had along the way. The settlement I received was even more than I had hoped for! Couldn't be more pleased with the way Bradford Andrews handled my case and I would refer him to anyone!

Dealing with Mr. Bostic was one of the most pleasant professional experiences I've had. He was thoughtful, kind, considerate, and he had clearly reviewed the details of my case prior to our discussion. He spoke w candor and he helped me to understand nuances of my situation that had not even occurred to me. He is obviously extremely knowledgeable but is able to speak with you in a way that is easy to understand without seeming condescending. I recommend him and his office without reservation.

Mr Allison at Kahn Law Firm helped me and successfully won my case where I suffered from permanent damage due to the negligence of a leading healthcare facility in South Carolina. Everyone there was compassionate, understanding and tuff when they needed to be to win my case. Also, I took my case to several other Law Firms and no other office would touch it. I was even told by a few that it wouldn’t be enough money and wasn’t worth their time even though I have permanent back and nerve damage.
I would recommend him and everyone at their office because my case did take their teamwork and they worked with specialists, my family doctor and doctors who are highly recommended in neurosurgery at MUSC.

Stefan Feidler is one of the best lawyers I’ve worked with. From start to finish, he handled my case in a timely manner with professionalism and compassion. Their staff is so polite and it’s so easy to get in touch with them. I’m not much of a phone person as I’d much rather text. Stefan accommodated that very well as we would use texting as our primary source of communication. These guys really know personal injury law. I highly recommend them for your legal needs.

We have utilized John's expertise for a couple of real estate closings. On our most recent transaction, the day before the closing my husband injured his back and was unable to travel to John's office. I emailed him in the middle of the night to explain the situation and ask if we could utilize a power of attorney so that we wouldn't have to delay the closing. Without hesitation John left his office and drove 30 minutes to our home so that we could sign the documents with him. We are so grateful for John's professionalism and kindness and would highly recommend his firm.

I spoke to her 3 times and yes, she was confrontational to me also. But, I dismissed it hoping that she would use that attitude in litigating my case. However, after sending her detailed information, I got a letter back basically saying "I am too busy, go somewhere else. Good luck". Take your chance, maybe she will be less busy due to bad reviews:)

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.

- 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.

- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.

- 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.
