Joseph Cammarata is an outstanding personal injury attorney. He and his team worked diligently on my case, keeping me informed every step of the way and ultimately securing a fair settlement after my motorcycle accident. His expertise and commitment to my case made the process much less stressful, and I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend him.

I’m a previous employee of the law firm, particularly Victor Long’s previous secretary. I sought Victor’s advice about my case, which I didn’t think I had a case. However, he and his assistant Anna, worked diligently to get compensation for my injuries. I really appreciate the hard work, and positive outcome of my case!!

Due to an injury sustained, our family didn't know what to do or where to turn. Like others who deal with a sudden injury and life altering situations we initially hired someone out of haste. We quickly learned that it wasn't the best decision and at that point began to research and look for another attorney. This is where Gerry entered our life. He listened to us on the phone and was very straight forward, yet very caring and understanding. At a later time he came to our home for a sit down and we knew instantly we would have him represent us. From that meeting we realized that he truly understood the injuries sustained and the real impact that the injuries would have. The prior attorney seemed to just be familiar with the name of the injury and knew it would bring in money....this journey was far deeper than a dollar bill. It completely rocked and changed our entire lives. The entire process lasted about two years. It was overwhelming at times, but Gerry, Denis, and Chris are some of the most intelligent, caring, straight shooting people I have ever met. Regardless of how much time passes we will always consider them friends in our hearts. While it took my family to make the mistake of hiring someone out of fear and haste....please don't make the same mistake. Call Gerry and when you reflect back on your journey I hope this review comes to mind and helped you to avoid the pitfalls we initially made in our journey.

He carefully reviewed the facts of our case, devised a legal strategy with us and aggressively pursued it. Mr. Zambri constantly kept us informed, answered our questions and reassured us. Our family is very happy we had Mr. Zambri as our attorney.

Attorney Zambri is a cut above his peers on multiple levels. My case was complicated and filled with loopholes. Nevertheless, he 'fought the good fight' against corrupt insurance companies. I will be forever grateful to him. Note: he's had the same wonderful assistant for over 20 years, a testimony to his decency and caliber.

Attorney Zambri was a true blessing in my 18 year injury litigation. Attorney Zambri stepped into this case and rescued me from a sheer case of railroading, corruption and total deception that I have experienced with a workmen compensation judge and numerous Attorneys (of all races,creeds and colors) in the DMV. Suffering, threats and surveillance at the hands of the large insurance carriers and those Attorneys, shook my faith. However; I continued to pray and fight on my own to keep my case alive, but the law at that level was above my head..then GOD blessed me to meet Atty.Zambri, the consultation was open and honest. Attorney Zambri worked on my behalf against the suppressors of Justice and settled my case. Thank You and your staff, "Patty" in particular for caring, in a cold and unscrupulous world. Praise GOD!

Subject: Disappointing Experience with Simeon & Miller Law Firm I am writing to express my frustration with the legal services I have received from Simeon & Miller. I initially reached out to the firm in March after an accident in October 2023, which was not my fault. At first, the other driver's insurance company was working with me, but communication stopped, prompting me to seek legal assistance. I turned to Simeon & Miller after conducting an online search and reading the firm's reviews. Unfortunately, that decision has proven to be a significant mistake. Despite the firm’s 20 years of service, I found only five reviews visible, which should have raised doubts about the authenticity of their online presence. This was a possibly my first red flag. Since then, my experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. The lack of communication has been deplorable, leaving me feeling like I’m tracking a package rather than receiving the legal representation I need. After forwarding all the necessary information for my case, I was initially assigned a paralegal. Shortly after, I was passed on to another assistant, who informed me that she would compile everything and forward it to the attorney. However, after several follow-up calls, it wasn’t until September that I finally spoke to the lawyer handling my case, even though they had all the information since March. When I did finally speak with the attorney, the call consisted of them asking a series of questions, explaining the potential value of my case, and inquiring about the lowest settlement amount I would accept. I was then told it could take another 90 days to potentially reach an agreement with the other party. As the 30-day mark approached, I received another call from the lawyer informing me that the case had settled at the original value they had quoted. I then inquired about when I could expect to receive the check, only to be told that it could take up to another 60 days. To my surprise, I later discovered an email titled "Simeon and Miller" with no follow-up call, requesting me to sign papers for the release of the check. Despite my numerous attempts to contact the lawyer, I was repeatedly told they were unavailable. After leaving several messages, I eventually had to ask another representative for answers regarding my case, and they provided me with the information I needed. To date, I have still not received a call back from my lawyer. Furthermore, I received a letter from the at-fault driver’s insurance company confirming that the check had been forwarded to the law firm, yet I still have not been contacted by anyone at Simeon & Miller. I am left to wonder whether they are holding the funds in escrow, potentially making money off my settlement while I continue to experience an unacceptable lack of communication. If you are seeking timely and efficient legal representation, I strongly advise you to avoid Simeon & Miller. My experience has been prolonged, impersonal, and frustrating, and I will never use this firm again. Sincerely, Cynthia Allen

This review is long overdue as it has been a few months since my case was settled. Nonetheless, I hope that it helps someone. Though I have a long story as it relates to my injury, I will keep it short — just know Mr. Kearney and his team were with me the entire duration. lock step. I was injured at work about ~8 years ago. My case was longer than many. During those eight years I went through every tactic you could think of from the various insurance companies and adjusters who handled my case. During those eight years, WC insurance found reasons to deny a treatment, or to not pay my benefits, or to make me wait 6 months for a hearing to only agree with our demands the day of (which happened on 2-3 occasions), and everything in between. Their goal is to make an already bad situation even worse. At times they succeeded. However, Mr. Kearney kept fighting for me and never budged. Even when things would become overwhelming and I wanted to quit, he remained calm and consistent while encouraging me to push forward. His tenacity resulted in a settlement that I had honestly almost lost hope on. That is what you get with Mr. Kearney. He is a known and respected entity in the world of injured persons/workers. Opposing counsel knows him and when they greet him you can sense the respect they have for him. Same goes for judges; he knows them, like really knows them. If you need someone to truly fight for you while keeping your best interest paramount, look no further. It is honestly a no-brainer. If he agrees to take you on as a client, jump at it. You will not find more competent, prepared, personalized, experienced, honest, and compassionate representation in the DC area. I went out of my way to thank Mr. Kearney and his team as much as I could while he represented me and am happy to have the pleasure of thanking him again, on a public forum, while encouraging anyone who has been hurt to make Donohoe-Kearney your first call. I hope it will also be your last. I pray everyone gets healthy and receives what they are due. Again, huge thanks to Mr. Kearney and his team, who I must add treat you like family and stay on top of the things you might not even know need staying on top of. The whole team is top-notch.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Al Clarke for several years while the office of Patrick Malone & Associates handled a complex medical malpractice case for my father. Prior to meeting Al and Pat, our case had already been underway for a couple of years with another firm, and it was in need of additional expertise and resources. Despite being faced with the unprecedented challenges of litigating during the Covid-19 pandemic, Al’s patience and tenacity were unwavering. He worked intensively with the defense council and negotiated a settlement. The final outcome provided us with a great deal of closure and consolation. It was a long road, but Al was certainly the best travel partner anyone could ask for.

I would highly recommend their legal services to anyone seeking representation for personal injury relief in the DC area. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Daniel Scialpi who pursued fair compensation to my case resulting in a desirable financial outcome. He stayed aggressive fighting on my behalf for over 2 years to help win the case. Although my case was quite unique and challenging, he never gave up showing true compassion for the unfortunate impact my injury had to my long-term health.

I worked with Mr. Cohen a few years ago. He and his firm did a great job handling my case, a bad car accident in the Washington, DC area. My car was hit by an 18 wheeler truck on the Beltway just before the Dulles Toll Road. The truck was traveling in the right lane and decided to change lanes without seeing my car. It hit the side of my car and traveled with my car for about half a mile. If it weren't for our seatbelts, my husband and I would have been killed. Luckily, the injuries were not life threatening. Mr. Cohen made sure that all of my medical bills were handled and helped me deal with my car insurance company. He was very thorough! I would recommend Mr. Cohen to anyone that has had a car accident in the Washington DC area.

I am so thankful to have Al Clarke and his firm take my case in these extremely difficult times. On top of Al’s demonstrated compassion, dedication, and grit, ultimately his creativity resulted in an effective avenue to resolve my claim. While Al and his team are completely professional, they somehow also made me feel like I was part of their family, and this case was personal to them, as they relentlessly pursued the offending party until my matter was resolved. I truly don’t know where I would be right now without Al Clarke and his firm.

He started off with a big smile and hello to me and my granddaughter. he came to my home. He gave me a second chance when it came to my broken heart. I was so broken and he listen to my every word. even when I was fussing and yelling at him. Alfred Clark became my dear friend I will never forget him. Everytime I was having a bad day. Al listen and listen some more. I knew the day I told him I wasnt happy about things and all he did was listen and before he always gave me a answer he always concerned my feeling. he got to know me and Noraye as a person and not a just a client. I will if anyone even have as problem as I have had. I will refer them to call Alfred Clark and his firm. I was very satified with the out come of my case. I will never ever forget. When things was hard he reached out for assist to make sure I was happy and always return my phone call. The Patrick Malone Firm in Washington DC should be # one for any person seeking Attorney assistance. They was there for me 100% They travel to my home and always gave me there full attention I was a very hard person to deal with because I lost my only child but the took my case and gave me one again 100% of there time.

I was referred to The Cochran Firm by a close friend who used this firm because their family lost their loved one during a nursing home abuse incident. I contacted the firm to submit a medical malpractice claim on behalf of my husband who was lost during a medical procedure. Mr. Meltmar and staff quickly responded to my medical malpractice claim, told me what my options were and kept me and my family fully informed during the entire process (approximately 17 months). Mr. Meltmar in particular was very forthright with me about the process and what my options were. Based on his research, we were able to reach a reasonable settlement which provided a good deal of closure for myself and family. We are forever grateful for the professionalism shown and for all of the hard work performed on our behalf.

We had a very successful outcome for our legal case that allowed us to stabilize our family's life after a brain injury. Yet it was the process of the case that was as important to us, because we had so much to manage medically, emotionally, and mentally, during this challenging time. Chris Nace and his excellent team didn't involve us unless they needed our attention, allowing us to place our focus where it was required, in our healing. Also, they spent time answering our questions, no matter how trivial, since we had never used a lawyer except in the creation of our wills. We felt prepared for the case, and informed of our options, but yet not burdened by too much information. We were given adequate preparation for the next steps, but we were not overwhelmed by a multitude of responsibilities. As part of their client care, we were able to help protect our children and other family members from the rigors of an adversarial environment, and to go on with our lives instead of being involved in legal matters. Frankly, it was Nace's straight talk that brought us to Chris and his father Barry, and it was their compassionate response and awareness of our situation that kept us optimistic through the inevitable ups and downs of this long, convoluted process. I would recommend Chris Nace without hesitation, as he has the kind of doggedness and integrity that you want on your side, and because this organization has the expertise and experience that makes a level playing field out of the surprises and biases of the legal system.

I am very surprised to the Amicus brief that Mr DeBruin and his Circuit Court appointed team put together. His brief supported my argument that the district court in DC rejected. His facts and understanding of the facts was the same facts and conclusion that I placed before the district court in DC but also in front of the Circuit Court in DC. Mr DeBruin and is Appointed Team has shown that there are some honest lawyer who maybe willing to support a non- lawyer if the Right arguments by that person showing valid merit in there own defense and when the Fed. PD office refuses to back a proper and valid defense which allow his client to be falsely charged.

If you are looking for an Attorney that has your best interest at all times during your case. Look no further because Mr. Cammarata is who you want leading you through the craziness court cases can be. He has the experience of arguing before the Supreme Court to handling smaller cases like a pedestrian being hit by a taxi cab. Is involved with his community volunteering and organizing blood drives, & was one of the first Attorney's who became concerned with youth athletics and concussions giving a caring voice to his own community. When I think about what I had to go through with my accident, I feel so very lucky and fortunate that Mr. Cammarata took on my case. I can't thank him enough.

As an attorney with over 30 years of experience myself, I truly appreciate working with counsel with genuine subject matter expertise, common sense logic, hands-on court room experience and responsive communications! Katie, her partner and team were exceptional in every way. Having a very limited understanding of medical malpractice, I knew I needed a learned med/mal practitioner to guide me through a recent series of disputes related to medical care I had received. From the start I was impressed with the depth and commitment by Betram & Amell as my advocates. I felt fully informed at all times. My views were solicited and considered. And the entire legal matter was handled with an impressive degree of cost effectiveness! The outcome was everything I had hoped for and could reasonably expect and far better than if I had foolishly tried to handle the matter myself. Katie was exceptional and I highly recommend her based upon my experience working with her over the past year!

From the first time I spoke to Catherine, she was extreamly passionate about her job and it radiates of her. This was a huge factor for me as I wanted a real human being not just a heartless firm looking for a quick payout. It was a very smooth process. I was able to send over my medical records for an in-depth evaluation by her medical experts. I believe that it was a pretty quick turn around time for this. Once she was able to verify the medical malpractice via the medical records, this is when she got down to business. Catherine had a very fast response time to file the claim with the military and demand answers for my sheer lack of medical care over the course of 37 months. She also found the right medical experts to help me go against the clinic that made me suffer. We went through countless attempts of the military trying to dismiss my issues. She always was one step ahead of the trickery that they were trying to pull. I believe that while I am unable to get the days I lost due to the malpractice at the hands of the military, Catherine and her team of experts were able to get a more than generous settlement for what my family and I had to endure. If you have any doubt whether she is the right fit for your legal issues, I am here to say do not hesitate to go with her. I am so very grateful that I found her. I think that she truly cares about the person in her cases and this is something nowadays that is so hard to find. Thank you Katie from the bottom of my heart for representing me through this horrible time in my life and turning so many negatives in to a positive. With the settlement, I was able to get I can rebuild what was taken from us. Thank you a thousand times! I hope you will never ever have to represent me again in a situation like this but if ever do I find myself in a situation like this I would never hesite to go with you.

All the reviews posted here are two years old, time for a CRITICAL UPDATE: -Eric said he is currently too busy to take my case (Feb 14, 2024), so don't waste your time with an inquiry. -Eric did NOT even review my case even though his form letter I received said he did! The form letter was sent literally minutes after my 5 minute intake call with Intake Specialist Charlotte, and Eric then said in his form letter that he reviewed my "file," but there is no such "file" for him to have reviewed, only Court docket entries. In any case THEY ARE TOO BUSY WITH OTHER CASES TO HELP YOU AND WILL NOT TELL YOU THIS OVER THE PHONE>

I fought the VA for everything up until I had exhausted my appeals at the Board level. Once I filed my intent to appeal to the USCVA, I received a deluge of ads from attorneys. I narrowed it down to three and contacted each of them for more info. Two just sent more literature, but Mr. Gang called me, himself. I was very impressed with him and warned him up front that it was a very complicated case. Once I'd retained him, they went immediately to work. To the credit of Mr. Gang and his excellent team, the complications (mostly caused by the VA) seemed to only make them dig in. He actually had several chances to dump the case and still stuck with me. I can't express how grateful I am after he successfully ended my 9yr journey through hell in less than two.

I personally couldnt have been happier with the end result of my case thanks to Mr Gang. As you can see he is totally qualified in all aspects and all the different levels of litigation that you can expect your case to go thru on your own case.His paralegals and staff were absolutely a delight to work with and very knowledgeable and professional throughout. I personally couldnt trust a VR and as the saying goes “a layperson who represents himself in court has a fool for a client “totally fit my case until I came to my senses and admitted This was way more than I could handle let alone understand. So save yourself all the mistakes i made and have total confidence in Mr Gang to get you the benefits you deserve but will elude you for years without Mr Gangs professional representation.

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.
