Allen was great. He was there for me when no one else would help. Natilee treated me like family and always took care of me. When I thought I wasn't going to make it, they always made sure I was taken care of. Even though my case is settled, I know I'll always be remembered and a part of the T&P team.

Thank you to the Czack Hobbs Law Firm for helping me through my injury claim in 2024. I was introduced to Mike through a referral from a family friend. He and his team were so professional and compassionate, explaining what each step of the legal process was and how it fit into the bigger picture of my case. The team was responsive and always communicated all updates, keeping me informed along the way. Truly felt like Mike was “going to bat” for me. If you find yourself in a personal injury situation, I highly recommend choosing Czack Hobbs Law Firm to represent you!

This week after making an appointment with Mr. Timken, me and my husband were stood up and then was called and told that he was sorry and it was all a misunderstanding and that he wanted me to take down the review I had posted as it would hurt his practice. I forgave him and rescheduled for Friday and took down the review. Now he text me at 12 in the morning telling me he leaving town because he lost a parent I told him I was sorry for his loss. I then asked him would we be able to reschedule he replied no because he was not coming back for a long time. I believe that he called only to get me to take down my review only to come up with a lie. Me and my husband were supposed to meet him Sunday but we could not find parking. We asked to see him the next day he agreed and then deliberately stood us up out of anger because to him we wasted his time. I am starting to believe something is very wrong with this man. I truly forgave him and he still did us wrong again. But to lie now about losing a parent to get out of something is very low and disrespectful.

Meghan was very upfront in regards what to expect, and how long the process would be. She gives you worst case scenario vs. best case scenario. Regarding my case, my results turned out to be better than what we both expected! She is professional, and has a wonderful personality. She talks you like a person, and not like you are just a client. I used her for my personal injury case. If you have a personal injury, she is the woman to call.

I had a personal injury case that I feel was very complex. She was able to take it all in, make sense of it, and wrap it all up faster than I anticipated. I felt that Meghan paid my case the attention it was deserving of and went above and beyond in making me feel comfortable that she had it under control. She translated the jargon and always wanted to be sure that I understood what was happening every step of the way.
I would recommend to anyone with a case under her expertise to consult with her; I believe that you will not be disappointed.

I will never regret hiring Meghan Conolly. She has been an excellent lawyer. She is a very professional, responsible, honest, and efficient attorney. She helped me right after my car accident while I was injured not only physically but also emotionally. Not only was she a great attorney but was also just a great support for me. She worked hard until she was able to succeed in winning my case. During the whole process of my case I was able to focus on my physical well being. She cared about my health and allowed me to focus on my recovery while she handled everything else. She made this case as easy as possible for me, hassle free, and was a total success. I Thank God for allowing me to meet and hire her! And, I Thank her for everything that she did for me!!

Christian Patno was my attorney in a wrongful death suit settled in Nov 2018. My dear brother, age 50, was fatally injured in a June 2012 workplace accident in Willoughby Ohio. My family and I were absolutely devastated! The case was appealed several times, all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court. At each step of the process and over a long period of time, Chris Patno did a phenomenal job and my families position was upheld. Throughout the entire process, Chris was an aggressive advocate for me, always available to answer questions and explain everything that was happening. The process was completely foreign to me, but Chris made me feel at ease and was always so kind and gracious answering any/all questions I threw his way.
Chris Patno is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, professional and a fierce advocate. I’m so glad he was on our side. Thank YOU Chris! You’re the best!

Mr. Fisher took my case when three other lawyers turned it down. I was cut off on my motorcycle by a truck that drove away and although I had the license plate of the truck no other lawyer wanted to take the time to go and find the trucking company and the witness wouldnt cooperate. Once Mr. Fisher got involved within 3 weeks he got a good witness statement and had identified the trucking company. After that it only took a month for him to get all my bills paid and get me a settlement that was alot more than I was expecting.

I am a fellow attorney in the community and have worked with Grant on numerous cases. Grant is a very caring individual and an extremely competent attorney. He takes time to evaluate cases and explains the law well to even prospective clients. His passion for helping those that are injured at the hand of another is really unmatched. He holds the rule breakers accountable and is as tough on his opponents and insurance companies as he is understanding of his own clients. I never hesitate to send clients to Grant. You really are in good hands with Grant.

You made us feel comfortable from the very beginning that everything was going to be alright, and that was precisely what we needed. You knew what needed to be done, and you went out and did it. Thank you again, and should any other legal issues arise you will definitely be the first person we call.

I am an Indiana resident who needed to approach a medical malpractice attorney in regards to a potential case for my mother who is an Ohio resident. My company's corporate attorney recommended the Linton Law Firm and I am so grateful he did as Bob and his staff were exemplary in guiding, educating, and directing me to the steps that were necessary in order to proceed to litigation against a hospital and rehab facility that mistreated and harmed my mother. In six months time Bob spent hours with me on conference calls and his assistant Robin worked tirelessly with me in obtaining and documenting medical records all at no cost to my family. His insight was invaluable and I would recommend his services to anyone who is looking to hire a dedicated, personable, above board attorney who truly has compassion for individuals who have suffered for unnecessary reasons.

I highly recommend Mr. Robert Linton to anyone in need of an outstanding, top-rated attorney.
Robert Linton--Bob--as I and my family came to address him, soon became "like family" to us.
I confirm that Bob is a kind (and one-of-a kind), empathetic, honest attorney who dedicates not only himself, his team and legal assistant Robin, and all his resources to his client, but his passion for his craft.
Bob was totally invested in championing my case for justice and fair compensation, following an automotive crash, which caused me injury. Pre-existing medical conditions complicated my case, ones which I previously were able to balance and manage, now worsened, changing the trajectory of my life, robbing me of participating in those activities which I previously, fully enjoyed with my family.
Bob skillfully navigated the flawed legal system, to right the wrong carelessly committed against me, by a negligent driver.
Owing to Bob's solid character and resolve, he continually reaffirmed my confidence in his legal guidance throughout the legal proceedings.
Mr. Robert Linton--Bob--is truly a "real lawyer for real people."
I, and my entire family, will forever be grateful to him for advocating justice for me.
thank you Bob Linton.

Mr. Linton is an exceptional attorney. We sought his counsel and expertise when we were consumed with grief and the overwhelming circumstances that led to the loss of an amazing husband, father, physician and humanitarian.
Mr. Linton met with us to discuss our situation. His calm demeanor, compassion and respect for our loss, provided our family great solace and confidence, enabling us to entrust him with our journey and our desire to seek a just resolution.
Mr. Linton skillfully listened as we shared the painful details of our loss. With understanding and patience, Mr. Linton was able to sort through our grief and focus on the relevant issues that gave our case its merits. He continuously advised us on the status of our case and carefully explained the process as we moved forward.
He interviewed witnesses, took the testimonies of experts and diligently researched the circumstances that surrounded our case. But above all he made it his mission to come to know the person we lost through our stories and the stories of the people whose lives were touched and forever impacted.
Mr. Linton's skillful navigation of the intricacies of our case paired with his vast knowledge and experience, resulted in a just and rightful conclusion.
Mr. Linton is a kind, principled, generous and spirited advocate for those in need of expert counsel. We are forever blessed in knowing him and forever grateful to him.

He took the time to personally call me and discuss the issues with me. Unfortunately the result of the conversation made me understand that Ohio has screwed it's citizens by limiting damage awards. Not his fault, just corrupt politicians that were influenced by insurance companies and the doctors. Anyway, he has saved me a lot of time and wasted effort by being honest about the situation. Thanks Brian

Bill took a very difficult medical malpractice case and spent the time and hard work to win it for our family. His hard work insured great care for our son and college educations for his brother and sister. At one point in the case expenses were $36,000 and a settlement was reached of $27,000 with one of the defendants. Bill insisted we take the $27,000 without deducting expenses. He said we'll catch up later. Over the next 6 years we became great friends because he cared, we were not just another case. To this day he still means the world to all of us. I recommend Bill and his firm to you without reservation.

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.
