You will find that Michael has the ability to make your situation as his priority.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike Brezina on several medical malpractice cases while I was a claims attorney. He is thorough, considers all sides of the issue, is prompt in his reporting, and is collaborative when it comes to case strategy. I also know him through a leadership program, and he has a reputation of the highest caliber.

I found myself unexpectedly faced with probate court. Grieving, confused, and a bit scared I starting calling attorneys in the area. After one conversation with Mr. Casteel my family decided he was the one. We are very grateful for the patience and compassion Mr. Casteel has shown our family. He has been very kind and honest with us, helping us through each hurdle of this case. We will most definitely be using his services for any of our future legal needs.

Contacted Jarrod Casteel regarding a property contract. He provided his background and job knowledge and how he could assist me with my property matter. From the very first conversation with him I was moved. I felt he was professional and I was in great hands. I was very comfortable with Jarrod. He dove directly into the issue and it was resolved within days. I am amazed and proud to have Jarrod part of this community. Congratulations to Butler, ,Vines and Barb, PLLC for grabbing this one!!

Tucker Montgomery, JD MD, is the preeminent medical malpractice lawyer in East Tennessee. Yes background as a practicing physician for many years in the emergency room, combined with his extensive experience defending care providers for many years, has provided him with a unbelievably sound and advantageous knowledge base. His humility, demeanor and approach (and sense of humor) make him a true joy to be around. If he will take your case, you should consider yourself very lucky.

I work as an independent legal consultant. I would like to highly recommend Dr Montgomery. He is the only attorney I have ever worked with that stressed legal ethics. (We sat down in his office before I took my first case home, and he would periodically mention that focus as I picked up other cases.) If more attorneys emphasized this, the legal profession would go a long way to improving their reputation.
Adding to this, he and his staff had a strong rapport. There was a strong sense of mutual respect and caring making it also the warmest atmosphere I've ever worked in. And the respect did not end there as I saw firsthand how much he really cared about his clients and their situations. He is a patient advocate in every sense of the term.
.
If you're an attorney with a need for the best consultant for a medical case, Dr Montgomery should be your first choice. If you’re a patient and need an attorney, suggest Dr Montgomery as a consultant. I believe you will be very happy with your choice.
I have never wanted to work for anyone more in my life after working with his firm as an independent consultant. It was always a pleasure to work with him. But now he has given up his firm working as an independent consultant himself. That makes it difficult for me to ever work with him again, but you could.

I am unable to express completely the gratitude I have for you for the work put into my case. You are truly a model example of what a professional In their field should be. I knew then and know now that I did the right thing. Receiving the vindication through the court with documentation is what I sought and the closure from having reached that objective is satisfying. I am humbled by and grateful for the dedication shown on my behalf. I appreciate you and hold you in high regard. I would absolutely not forget about you. Should I need legal services in the future I would not look anywhere else. It is worth it to have the confidence of your representation while going through a difficult and stressful situation. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet you and get to know you throughout this process. I pray for God’s continued protection, guidance, and direction in your life. If I can ever help in any way, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Sometimes life throws you curve balls and forces you to step outside of your comfort zone. Looking up and finding a legal team can be overwhelming to say the least, but if you find yourself looking for the best, look no further than Knox Defense. From the receptionist, legal assistant, to the after hours call center, never did we feel like our needs or concerns were left unaddressed. Attorney M. Jeffrey Whitt is by far the best of the best. It is evident that Mr. Whitt takes pride in what he does and the people he serves. His knowledge, dedication, drive and determination to see that you are given top notch legal representation is apparent within moments of meeting him. His professional demeanor instills a sense of relief as you know he will do everything in his power to work for you. Yet, he still finds it imperative to connect with you on a personal level, since let’s be honest, we are all human and could certainly use a friend especially when life feels like it has been turned upside down. Should you find yourself needing legal defense, I HIGHLY encourage you contacting Knox Defense and asking to speak with Mr. Whitt. This is one decision, I will forever be thankful for.

A ticket I received turned out to be a Class A misdemeanor. Couldn't just pay a fine, had to appear in court. After looking up Class A misdemeanor it appeared more serious than a standard ticket, so I chose to seek legal advice. I called the Baker law firm and Mr Baker himself returned my call. I was set up with a meeting the next day and related what had happened. He felt quite certain he could get the case dismissed, possibly without a court appearance, and if that wasn't possible a short appearance in court and court costs, and the problem would be solved. Within a few hours his secretary called and informed me he had negotiated the dismissal. I did have to appear in court the next day but that went smoothly in less than a half hour. I felt like he and his staff truly cared about my problem. I give the Baker Law firm my highest recommendation.

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.

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:

- 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.

- 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.

- 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?

- 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:
-

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?

Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
Have you worked with expert witnesses?

- 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.
