I am so grateful to the team at Aronfeld Trial Lawyers. Throughout the duration of my case, I felt validated and cared for. The team took time to answer any questions and concerns I had and I always felt like my best interest was the priority of whoever I was working with. It was easy to get in touch with the office and I was kept informed throughout the entire process. I knew I was in great hands every step of the way and am so thankful I had such a great team in my corner. While I hope I don’t need a lawyer again any time soon I would go back to Aronfeld Trial Lawyers in a heartbeat and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services.

I couldn’t be more pleased with BG Law. Haley handled my file and was fantastic, but the entire office works together to provide exceptional service. They were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure myself and the buyers were taken care of. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a title company.

Exceptional lawyer! After having consulted with a number of immigration "specialists" I felt I had a dwindling chance of becoming a US citizen. Mildred is the ONLY immigration lawyer that evaluated my case and offered me hope from the onset. To be exact, she told me that the law was on my side and notwithstanding my unique circumstances, if I were to be patient, she was going to win it. And she delivered! Thank God I hired her!

Brian did a great job with my case and I was very happy with my outcome. He quickly got his arms around the issues, was clear with me on various options/strategies and was steadfast and relentless on pursuing my case until the ultimate resolution. I would highly recommend Brian and in fact have already referred several colleagues.

Jeff Davis handled an injury case for my family. He was attentive, easily available both on the phone and in-person, cared about us and did the best he could. My family was well-compensated, which made a bad situation much more bearable. I would recommend Jeff to all my family and friends and would trust all my legal issues to him and his very competent and caring staff. Thank you!

Do not recommend. His staff made several mistakes on our case due to lack of care and attention. Jeff is more worried about covering himself and collecting his fee, than he is in following through on what he had promised. He has wasted our money and time and caused us a lot of harm in our case.

We had been dealing with a legal issue for over two years with another attorney, with no results. Jeff Davis stepped in, and has made more progress in a few months, than we had in over two years. He communicates absolutely everything with his clients. I have never received a call from the office staff, he always takes the time to call personally. Although the case is still pending, I have complete faith in his ability to resolve this matter, and see justice served.

My encounter with Jed Kurzban was nothing short of a nightmare. I sought Kurzban's legal representation for a police brutality case that I was involved in. The city of Key West, perhaps recognizing the weight of their wrongdoing, offered me a settlement of $200,000 to sweep their police brutality problem under the rug. In retrospect, this hush money proposition was not only unsatisfactory but morally repugnant, given the numerous other victims who had endured similar experiences. Opting for a trial seemed like the only right path to take, as it felt essential to hold the authorities accountable for their actions. However, what followed during the trial left me questioning the integrity and ethics of my legal representation. The trial proceedings appeared to be tainted from the very start, with a judge who seemed disinterested and even fell asleep during crucial parts of the case. It was evident that something was amiss when police evidence tapes were presented, tapes that bore unmistakable signs of manipulation and editing. What bewildered me further was Kurzban's lack of objection or challenge to these egregious discrepancies. It was as if he had no interest in pursuing justice, and in my opinion, it strongly indicated that Kurzban had possibly received financial incentives from the city of Key West to sabotage my case. Jed Kurzban's conduct throughout this ordeal has left me deeply disillusioned and convinced that he is not a lawyer to be trusted. His actions, or lack thereof, not only cost me the opportunity for justice but also shattered any faith I had in the legal system. It's disheartening to witness someone in a position of trust who appears to prioritize their financial gains over the pursuit of justice and the well-being of their clients. My experience with Jed Kurzban has been a stark reminder of the importance of thoroughly researching and carefully selecting legal representation, as not all lawyers have their clients' best interests at heart. Today I live with 7 screws in my ankle and multiple sclerosis. A direct result of a poorly trained inadequetly supervised over equipped federally funded local police department. the trial and Jed Kurzban defense was extremely suspicious at the very least. so if you are searching for a good lawyer, keep looking

I GOT HURT, and was scared of the process. Mr. Kurzban helped every step of the way. I'm not sure I'll EVER be the same after the accident. Hearing a jury say that it was their fault about my disfigurement, makes every day easier. I would recommend him, because he truly HELPED make my life much better!

We were completely satisfied with the experience we had with Ibis Hillencamp as our lawyer. She provided us with all the options through out the process and was very honest about the outcome we were to expect. However, due to her diligent work we were very happy with the end result of our case. We will work with Ibis again and we highly recommend her to anyone who needs her services.

I had the pleasure of consulting with Mrs. Hillencamp regarding my employment being terminated. Since there was an underlying medical cause to the situation I spoke with this attorney who informed me that it would be more helpful for me to speak with a labor attorney; due to the particulars of the case. She referred me to one of her long-term contacts, JR Callahan; who successfully helped me appeal my unemployment compensation and directed me to file a complaint with the EEOC. At this point I am still waiting for a response from this agency, and once this happens the next step will be taken. Overall, Mrs. Hillencamp was very helpful with information and her referral has helped my case move along the correct path. Her legal advice was very accurate and helpful.

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.
