I found myself a victim of roofing contractor that took my money and didn’t perform any work. County law enforcement was moving incredibly slow and I did not have strong confidence I was going to recover any of my money. I decided to hire Stuart Morse Law firm. I mostly worked with Greg on my case and I was immediately impressed with this law firm. This team of law was able to recover all the money the contractor stole from me and almost all the damages the roofing contractor created. The Stuart Morse Team did a great job! Thank you!

My family recently worked with Stuart D. Morse & Associates, LLC. It is not often that I am compelled to write a review but we felt very fortunate to have them represent us. The professionalism and communication was more than we could have asked for. Our direct contact was Gregory J. Theo. He was always there to answer questions and communicate with us on the progress of our case. I will definitely be referring your office in the future.

In 2015, my wife was hit by a distracted driver, and suffered very significant injuries. Dan Caplis Law treated our family with the utmost courtesy, respect & professionalism throughout our entire legal process. Mr. Caplis and his firm greatly assisted us in managing everything associated with this very stressful situation and guided us to a successful legal conclusion. We both highly recommend this firm.

We worked with Dan in a very complex personal injury case involving our youngest daughter. He was professional during all aspects of a 2-year relationship, he helped us assemble a solid case with a strong legal team and he offered us genuine personal support and concern throughout. We think very highly of Dan and can quickly endorse his services to anyone facing the confusing and bewildering challenges that result from wrongful personal injury.

I have been a practicing attorney for a few years and recently I received a complaint from a former client. The former client made a number of unfounded allegations and demanded a large sum of money to settle the claims. I called my malpractice carrier feeling nervous and worried; shortly after that call I met with June Laird. She was professional, compassionate and intelligent. After reviewing the complaint, facts and documents with June I felt much better about the case. She wrote a concise, thoughtful and easy-to-understand letter to the Attorney Regulation Counsel. She explained why each of my former client's claims was without merit. June kept me in the loop as she wrote the letter and regularly sought my input. Unfortunately, June was injured during the course of my case. Despite her injury, she still kept me well informed. She told me that she was in the hospital and would be working on my case and still met the deadline. Shortly after submitting the letter in response to the complaint, we received a letter from ARC informing us that even if the client were able to prove his/her claims, they did not represent a violation of the law or the professional rules of conduct. It felt good to have a third-party neutral validate my feelings. June was exceptional - as an attorney I hope to provide the same level of competence and commitment to my clients.

I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me. You were always available to answer any question that I had. Your firm went above and beyond what I had expected. I will refer your firm to anyone that would need a legal team to represent them. Molly, you and Alan fought for me, I never had much in life and you gave me hope. Just talking with the both of you reassured me that everything was going to be okay. Your good people, you care about others, if it was not for putting trust in you I would not have had the outcome that I did. Thank you so very much for everything that you did for me, it is so appreciated. God bless you both.

I can’t speak highly enough of Shafner Law and the incredible work they did for us. Alan, Allie, and Mollie were all fantastic! Our case was complex and challenging, and from the very beginning, they displayed an impressive level of expertise, dedication, and professionalism. Their team took the time to understand the nuances of our situation, guiding us through every step with patience and clarity. They made us feel truly supported throughout the entire process, answering our questions and always addressing our concerns. Thanks to their hard work and and dedication to our case, we were able to achieve a successful outcome that exceeded our expectations. Shafner Law truly went above and beyond, and we are grateful for their commitment to justice on our behalf. If you’re looking for a legal team that combines skill with compassion, we highly recommend them hands down!

Without Alan Shafner and his team, I wouldn’t have been able to navigate the challenges and emotional toll that my case brought. I also wouldn’t have found the strength and courage within myself to face it with confidence and believe that a successful outcome was achievable. Alan demonstrated the power of standing up for your truth and what you know is right. With his years of experience and strategic expertise, he transformed what initially seemed daunting and unattainable into a complete reality. His unwavering support and confidence in both myself and our case were vital in helping me through periods of stress and doubt. Without his total faith and assurances, I wouldn’t have had the courage to confront this complex hurdle. He truly put in the effort, showing determination in everything he did to achieve a positive result. Molly, Lars, and Allie were also integral to the process. They guided me every step of the way, easing my stress during especially difficult times while being incredibly empathetic, helpful, and understanding. I will always be immensely grateful to Alan and his team for their dedication, support, and commitment to making my case a success. They helped me find the perseverance and fortitude to overcome this challenging time in my life. If it hadn’t been for Alan, I wouldn’t be sitting here today with newfound inner strength and empowerment. Thank you so much, Alan, and to each and every person who contributed to making this possible.

I knew Jeff was the right choice from the first conversation we had. Jeff is calm but sharp. He answered all my questions perfectly while providing the answer my ex's lawyer would provide as well. I felt reassured throughout the entire process which is daunting. The outcome was fair and I appreciated Jeff's attention to detail. Another reason I chose to go with Jeff's practice was that every email, text or call was personally responded to by Jeff in a timely manner and I didn't have to go through a chain of people. I really liked that. Considering divorce sucks I was in good hands with Jeff and I did not spend an exuberant amount of money on lawyer fees.

Today was the case that Diamond Reagor started & couldn’t continue because they failed to protect my finances. The court date was today & they DID not ensure I was notified or that my # was in the court system. I have a daughter & son now stuck with a woman who is abusive… Maybe my turn to file a lawsuit for the mess they failed to protect me from. CLOSE DOWN PLEASE!!!!

I was involved in an automobile accident in 2007 and was thrust into the legal system. The defense attorney decided to take my case to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals after losing at trial. Mr. Hemmat had the greatest belief in his team to task them with appearing before this court. Jason never once trivialized my concerns or questions. I have the utmost respect for Jason and I would not hesitate one bit in recommending him to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. In fact, I would recommend anyone to the Anderson Hemmat McQuinn law firm. I have been treated with nothing but respect and concern for my well being and the well being of my case.

I was hurt at work and I took my case to a different law firm which held on to it for almost two years. That is three weeks before the statute of limitations was to run out. This other law firm sent me a letter letting me know that they didn't think that this was a big enough case for them to make enough money on. The letter also said I could file for extended time on the case at my county court house. Well not knowing anything about the law and not having the money to file I started to look for a new firm. I called Anderson Hemmat & McQuinn. I was lucky enough to talk to Jason Alleman we set up a time and went to see him. He told us right up front we did not have a lot of time to get this thing going. He ask the name of the company and to our surprise there were several with the same name. He said I will send them all a letter just to make sure we get the right one. To make a long story short Jason was very professional and honest. He told me everything that was going on and we got no surprises. Every time I called if he didn't have an answer he would find it out for me (and I called a lot). He never made me feel like I was bothering him and was always very pleasant. He made me feel like he cared about what happen to me and wanted to help. Not only did Jason help me but I also received letters from Chad Hemmat explaining what was going on. Kim my legal assistant was also very helpful. She was right on top of the case with information whenever I would call she was the most pleasant person to talk to! I feel that Anderson Hemmat & McQuinn would be the place I would go for any personal injury legal advice and would recommend this firm to all my friends and family. Jason once again thank you and the firm so much for all your help. I felt you were very professional, honest and a very caring person. Too bad for the other law firm that said it was too small of a case. We did great!!!

After me and my fiancé were struck by a distracted driver, we were both rushed to the ER at Denver Health. My fiancées injuries were more serious than my injuries, she had to have immediate spinal surgery where here C5 had to be removed and replaced with a metal bracket. I recieved a hedial fracture in my elbow. I called Anderson Hemmat & McQuinns law office in seek of legal representation. They than put Jason Alleman on the phone to speak with me. I explained our situation with the accident and our injuries that we occurred and he sounded so concerned about our well being and how unfortunate our situation was , etc. Long story short, I signed his contract and I hired Jason Alleman thinking I was hiring Anderson Hemmat himself, which was the first lie told to me by Jason. Than I myself did 90% of my own research about the other driver, his insurance, the police report, all information from everyone involved in the accident, etc. Which I than gave to Jason and his law office, (Anderson Hemmat & McQuinn) where I was insured that they would take care of me and represent me with the upmost professionalism and respect that I deserve, that was the second lie told to me! I continued to try and contact Jason about my case, he pushed me off to some paralegal student who worked for the law office, she was absolutely no help what so ever, probably because she was on her way out of that company. After weeks of no replys to phone calls and emails I recieved a letter stating that Jason Alleman and his law office will no longer be representing me in this case and that my situation did not meet there criteria, I believe those were the exact words used, to represent someone like me!!! What!? Yea I know right! Not only that, there was a $386.52 bill attached to the letter stating that they were dropping me as a client!! Not once did Jason Alleman have to dignity or common decency to contact me and let me know that due to the other drivers lack of coverage. I had to find out through this letter! It simply was not enough money for this greedy law office, therefore they dropped me!! Again... Run don't walk!!!

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.
