When my accident happened, I was lost and thought I was going to end up in a circumstance of total loss. I was unable to return to work for almost 5 months and with a family to support, not being compensated was not an option. I consulted with Mr.Feather and he assured me that my case deserved to be recognized and compensated. He dealt directly with my insurance company who did nothing but hassle me and try to avoid dealing with the situation at hand. Not only was he successful in obtaining a worthy settlement, but he was very professional, punctual, honest and empathetic to my needs. I would definitely hire him again if needed in the future.

I hired an out of state attorney to represent me on a defective product and I would never updates on my case. I contacted Attorney Feather, he looked into it for me and was able to get the answers for me. He met with me in person and went over all my settlement paperwork and helped me more money than the other firm. I would highly recommend his services.

They went after the insurance company and successfully got them to compensate me for my injuries sustained by a head on collision with a distracted teenage driver. Otherwise my medical bills would have all been out of pocket. Gerry was personable, attentive, and very relaxed in his approach with me as his client. I felt safe and assured from the very first introduction.

Judicial ethics opinions should be public. Redact names if you must, but advisory opinions on what PA judges should or should not be doing should be public info available to everyone. Your complete lack of transparency does not engender trust in your corrupt court system. Then again, most judges probably will not seek out an opinion, anyway.

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.

- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
