Conor represented me in two separate cases, an employment issue and a car accident case. In both cases, he always kept me updated on the status of the case, and tried to minimize the impact on me that comes with filing a lawsuit. He was aggressive, caring, and knew the law. I would highly recommend Conor to anyone looking for an attorney to represent them in employment or car accident case

I'm so grateful that I choose Rita Jackman, she is superb in all that she does, and I was blown away how she treated me like an old friend that really cared about the eviction that I needed her help with from the moment I met her and throughout each step she has been there for me with my numerous questions.
Rita is not only extremely personable, but she immediately began the eviction process that I so needed with the notice on the door the next day! She's straight to point with the laws and what will transpire with each step should my roommate not move out.
I couldn't be happier with my choice, and I really thank God that He led me to such an amazing woman that truly cares about you as a person and not a number to make more money on...

I am an attorney who has been in practice in Florida for 52 years including being a senior partner in a 70 attorney law firm as well as becoming a private mediator after my retirement from the firm. I always wondered who I would retain if I ever needed an attorney. Almost two years ago, my wife was seriously injured in an automobile accident. My choice was easy, I retained Jeff Garvin. I had known Jeff personally for many decades and had complete confidence in his abilities and trust in his professionalism. Jeff skillfully negotiated a very favorable settlement for my wife. I know that his reputation as a skilled trial lawyer made a big difference in securing top dollar for our case. I've always thought that the most difficult client a lawyer can have is another lawyer. Jeff has demonstrated great patience in dealing with me throughout and gave me good advice all the way. If you need a lawyer in a serious personal injury case or any complicated type of civil litigation, Jeff Garvin is your man. I give him my highest recommendation.

My is Fritz D. And from my experience with Melissa Sherman i can tell you for a fact she's a beast in the court, she's not afraid to stand against the unjust and fight for you. Overall i would recommend her to anyone that's looking for an attorney that will fight for you and won't back down or fold once the state attorney try to bash your character. She stood up for me when hendry county sheriff falsely accused me for miss use of 911 knowingly he was wrong about the entire case, miss Sherman did not allow the state nor the officer to deface my character she believes in justice for all.

Thank you Trias Law for helping us when our home insurance company first denied our claim, and then undervalued it. Larry did not stop fighting for us until we had the settlement we deserved. It is hard to stand up against large corporations on your own, Trias Law made that possible and delivered outstanding results.

John, Marc and the local attorneys at Kanner & Pintaluga did a fantastic job on my hurricane claim. I am very pleased now that I can plan to allocate funds and pay off debt that has occurred since my house got severely damaged by the last hurricane. This good fortune just comes with the arrival of Hurricane Helene so it is a kind of bittersweet feel, but I feel confident that we can turn to financial stricken help like they did for me and my family in any event.

The lack of effort placed into my mothers case was truly disheartening, the initial impression was great and as soon as we shifted to a possible trial the lawyer did not have the spark or know how to compile the case and keep any momentum or organization of the case ... truly a mistake to have recommended them to my family

Today I called Mr. King after 4:30 PM and he returned the call within 5 minutes. He was professional, very informative, and cared about my situation. He did not rush me and truly listened. I was nervous, he made me laugh and consequently I was able to communicate more effectively and provide the most important facts of the situation. I consult with multiple attorneys at work here in Naples, FL and he is by far the most personable, practical and down to earth at solving problems. He is a rock solid negotiator. I would wholeheartedly recommend him; additionally if I were seeking medical consultation for surgeries such as robotic surgeries, pelvic procedures and joint replacements I would call him to inquire about success rates and potential negative experiences others have had. I wish he would give talks on this subject to warn perspective patients. Thank you Mr. King! He is the real deal! Thank you for serving the citizens of Collier County in their time of need.

Even though he couldn't handle my case directly, Sean found me a reputable firm that could. That's dedication! I called the largest firm in the area first and couldn't get past their call screener! Call Sean King first because even if he can't handle your case, he'll find someone who can!

Oh my goodness this man Sean King is a lawyer??Really?? Wonder from where?? I could have call the Ringling Brothers circus and got a better answer. What an idiot. His voice is irritating enough. I'm glad he couldn't help me because as a mature so called professional he should not be screaming his head off. My advice STAY AWAY from this whackjob. No star's!! Disgusting behavior. You should be ashamed of yourself if this is how you conduct business or maybe its monkey business. Yeah that's it!! Awful and terrible!!! This was not a consult, I really don't know what kind of phone call it was but I'm forced to click something. Ugh!!!

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.

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.

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:
-

How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -

Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

- 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.

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

- Evidence of harm: Photos, medical bills, and records of lost wages.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
