They were there every step of the way for me and took the stress away that I was carrying. Thank you to Sam, Kevin, Candy, Mo and Melissa for being my Guardian Angels during a difficult time. I will be forever grateful. This Law Firm is the best!

Most recently, we needed codicils for our wills. She made the process easy once again and was very accessible. Personable, kind and very knowledgeable, she is always our preferred attorney.

“Atty. Peter Dreyer and paralegal Kimberly Wood diligently and patiently assisted my family and I through a long and complicated legal process. From day one I never felt alone or like my team wasn’t supporting me in my case. I was impressed by their thoroughness, patience and excellent communication. I especially appreciate how patient Attorney Dreyer was in helping me to understand such an overwhelmingly complicated process. Attorney Dreyer and Kimberly Wood always went above and beyond to make certain I was as comfortable and confident as possible through the depositions and interviews. I was often surprised at how thoughtful they were, something I really appreciated especially as I struggled constantly with my health. The support from Attorney Dreyer and Kimberly Wood helped me get through what has been the most difficult time in my life. I sincerely cannot imagine getting through this arduous and harrowing process with anyone else. I highly recommend Attorney Dreyer for malpractice cases. The level of professionalism, patience, support and thoroughness are second to none.

We first contacted Peter when we started our medical malpractice journey almost five years ago shortly after the surgery accident happened. He and his paralegal assistant Kim expertly guided us through the long judicial process , handling not only the complex legal issues but all of the roller-coaster emotional ones as well. It became quite evident that we made a great lawyer choice when we witnessed all of the other lawyers during depositions. Peter was clearly head and shoulders above the rest - he was always well prepared, having completely researched all of the medical procedures and surgical tool nuances so that he knew exactly what questions to ask the witnesses. He always remained calm, courteous and professional when questioning them, and left no stone unturned. When we became frustrated with the slow process, which dragged on for years (partly due to being in the midst of Covid), he always listened patiently to our concerns, responded in a way we understood, and never pressured us one way or the other - decisions were always, in the end, left up to us (although he clearly gave us his own recommendations). He and Kim were "our team", and we knew we could always contact them if we had questions or issues. We are relieved that this chapter is behind us, and would certainly recommend Peter to anyone needing this type of assistance.

He didn't have the bandwidth to accept my case at that time but he went out of his way to get me a strong referral. He wanted to make sure I had representation. He also offered to consult with my new attorney on my case. If you want a sincere, smart and committed attorney, Paul is your guy. Think no further and hire him.

I have worked with Paul Levin’s office on numerous occasions for litigation purposes. I retained Paul’s firm to work on several workers compensation claims and personal injury claims resulting from an at fault driver’s negligence. Paul and his staff assisted me in every step of the way from the day of a major motor vehicle accident, through the multiple surgeries, into therapy and post therapy. Paul and his staff are extremely compassionate, patient, and understanding with each case they work. I have known Paul and his legal team for well over 15 years now and continue to use his legal knowledge, expertise and understanding of complex personal injury law. Paul is committed to excellence and dedication to his clients by building rapport with outstanding professionalism. I have personally referred numerous clients to his firm that emboldens his ability to fight strong and achieve great monetary gains and seek justice. His dedication to the pursuit of justice and negotiating skills is evident by the way he carries himself as an attorney and as an individual. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a fair, honest and straightforward attorney who goes after companies and individuals regardless of the roadblocks that are put in the way. Paul and his team do not let outside noise taint their ability to achieve greatness in litigation and settlement. If you are looking for muscle, walls of law, and perseverance look no further than the Law offices of Paul Levin.

I was recently a defendant in a civil law suit which lasted for a total of three years. I say total because the plaintiff and his attorney dropped their original suit after two years and then refiled a second suit within days. I was out of money after a two year defense by a major law firm in New London CT and they saw this as the perfect opportunity and time to let me go suggesting I seek other representation. Facing a new lawsuit and without an attorney I thankfully found Peter Bartinik of the Bartinik Law Firm. Our first conversation was by phone and he had many questions. He also knew I had no savings left as this was the very first thing that I told him. Our second conversation took place at his office where we spend about two hours discussing my case and a plan to move forward. I was grateful that he took my case knowing I could not immediately pay him more than a small retainer. This lawsuit at times could be very confusing as well as emotional for me and Peter would always take the time to be sure that I completely understood what was happening with my case as well as to keep me emotionally grounded. If I called him with a question or concern and he couldn't at that moment take my call he would get back to me in no time at all. He did so much to keep me free from worry and to get me through the final year of a long drawn out mess intact and in my home which was what the lawsuit was all about. This case never went to trial and was settled out of the courtroom. Before the settlement I was facing the possibility of having to lose and leave my home. I now had my home but owed money to Peters' firm and he provided me with a payment plan that I could afford. I would advise anyone in need of legal guidance or defense to look to the Bartinik Law Firm, P.C. in Groton, CT where both Peter J. Bartinik Jr. and his wife Lori will keep you in good and safe hands.

I had an outstanding experience working with Jim Miron, his assistant Gillian, and the rest of his team at the Maddox Law Firm on my car accident case. From the very beginning, Jim demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to my case. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. One of the things I appreciated most about Jim was his kindness and understanding. Since English is my second language, I was initially worried about being able to communicate effectively. However, he quickly put my fears to rest by offering warm words of encouragement and taking the time to explain everything in a way I could easily understand. He was always patient and ensured that I was comfortable with every decision and detail in the process. His knowledge and expertise in handling car accident cases were evident in the way he guided me through the complexities of the legal system. He and his team, of which Gillian was my case manager, kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and made me feel like a priority. Thanks to his and his team’s hard work and dedication, my case was successfully settled, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. Jim Miron is not only an exceptional attorney but also a genuinely caring individual who goes above and beyond for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.

She guided from through the whole process and explained every detail so I understood what was happening each step. I highly recommend Lisa our case was over just under a year.

After being bit in the mouth by a dog, I was referred to Michael Jainchill at RisCassi & Davis and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. If you are looking for a lawyer who is quick to respond to emails, keeps you posted on updates regarding to your case, and doesn’t beat around the bush, Michael is the Attourney for you! Michael is very personable and extremely easy to get along with. He truly treated me as if I had known him for years and I can’t emphasize enough how great he was to me. I would recommend him to anyone who has suffered a personal injury and wants to receive as much as possible for their pain, suffering, and injury. I will be sure to contact Michael Jainchill at RisCassi & Davis again if something were to ever happen to me or my family. If you look at his accomplishments, he is one of the most well respected lawyers in the area and has succeeded in many large settlements for many different personal injuries. Check him out and I am confident you will have a great experience also! I’ve dealt with several lawyers in the past and Michael is by far the best so far!

Having worked with Michael Jainchill on more than one occasion, we would recommend him without hesitation. Michael will call to see how you are doing, his concern for his client's well-being is genuine. He takes time to listen and does not rush you to make a decision. You have to be satisfied with the outcome of your case. There are no "office hours" with Michael, he always responds to emails & phone messages in a very timely manner, even after hours and weekends.

Michael Jainchill is the best personal injury lawyer in the State of Connecticut. He is kind, professional, courteous and will fight for your deserved settlement. He will not overstate your case's importance, however you will know by his results that your case was always his priority. While working toward a settlement last year on my personal injury case, he negotiated with my medical provider to settle my outstanding medical bill for far less than their invoice, thereby ensuring a larger settlement for my future medical needs. I have worked for attorneys and law firms for over 30 years; I have extensive knowledge of personal injury cases and attorneys in this field. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michael Jainchill to anyone who is in need of a highly-qualified personal injury or medical malpractice attorney.

As a result of injuries sustained in a car accident caused by a young man who ignored a stop sign, I sought the services of Attorney Ken Namnoun. During my initial visit with Ken, I felt very much at ease at to how this process would progress. Ken was extremely warm, but professional, and was thorough in communicating with me the status of my case on a very regular basis. He was well informed of the laws regarding every aspect of this case and had a talent for presenting complicated language very simply making it easy to understand. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case, and would recommend Attorney Namnoun without reservation.

I had an outstanding experience working with Jim Miron, his assistant Gillian, and the rest of his team at the Maddox Law Firm on my car accident case. From the very beginning, Jim demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to my case. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. One of the things I appreciated most about Jim was his kindness and understanding. Since English is my second language, I was initially worried about being able to communicate effectively. However, he quickly put my fears to rest by offering warm words of encouragement and taking the time to explain everything in a way I could easily understand. He was always patient and ensured that I was comfortable with every decision and detail in the process. His knowledge and expertise in handling car accident cases were evident in the way he guided me through the complexities of the legal system. He and his team, of which Gillian was my case manager, kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and made me feel like a priority. Thanks to his and his team’s hard work and dedication, my case was successfully settled, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. Jim Miron is not only an exceptional attorney but also a genuinely caring individual who goes above and beyond for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Whether you’re facing language barriers or simply looking for someone you can trust, Jim Miron and his team at the Maddox Law Firm is what you want on your side.

Attorney Katz was engaged by our family to handle a very unique situation involving the burial of my father and mother in a local cemetery. Our father died first, and his cremated remains were buried at the cemetery and a headstone placed at the cemetery's direction. When our mother died, she was supposed to be buried with my father’s urn. But the cemetery buried her in the wrong plot, and could not find my father’s urn. Eventually the cemetery moved her to the correct plot, but my father’s urn was still missing. The cemetery company told us, “We believe we have filled all of our obligations.” Attorney Katz then filed suit on our behalf. Ultimately, through his efforts, my father’s cremains were found, we had a proper funeral and received a settlement in compensation for all that our family had been put through. At all times Attorney Jonathan Katz was reachable by the family and he worked tenaciously to get this matter resolved. I have spent 30 years in law enforcement, and I understand what good lawyering is. Thank You Attorney Katz for accepting his unique legal matter and seeing it thru to the end bringing closure for the family. I would highly recommend you and your firm for both criminal and civil matters.

I was involved in an MVA with a tractor trailer while working that resulted in totaling my vehicle and requiring three back surgeries and missing months from work. The worker’s compensation company believed that since they felt I was not at fault kept pushing me to help them recover their monies that had been paid out for medical payments and wages. After threatening me to help them, I went and consulted with Mr. Collins about my options and how pushy the worker’s comp company was becoming. After a few days, I hired him to represent me against the trucking company and the worker’s comp claim became subordinate to mine. Having been through a couple of previous accidents, Jack is the finest lawyer I’ve have ever had the pleasure of working with. Throughout the case he kept me up to date on everything that was taking place and what I should be expecting and rough timeframes. Since the trucking company was not local he travelled to take their depositions and make the best case we possibly could in preparation for trial. Because of Mr. Collins’ and his associates dedication and his exceptional knowledge of trial preparation, fair value for my sustained injuries, and ability to read the other parties resulted in a settlement that far exceeded my wildest dream. I give him my strongest personal recommendation to anyone that is looking for a lawyer that is truly concerned about helping you “the person” and not just treated as another client.

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.
