Robert Hyden is a excellent lawyer. I”ve known him for years. He got my “Street Racing” reduced to “High Speed for conditions” and no points were taken off of my licenses. I highly recommend “Bob” and he is definitely a man of “God” first. Thank you

Mr Hayden was amazing! He seemed to always show up at my darkest times had all the right answers and sometimes not exactly what I wanted to hear but I appreciated the openness and honesty and the sternness. I 100% believe God put him on my path for a reason and I couldn't be more grateful and blessed for that he is amazing and he listens and he answers any it all questions even the unthinkable crazy questions he's there with a smile on his face and he does it amazingly.

I highly recommend Robert Hyden. I was emotional, lost and down on my luck after being arrested for DUI. Robert assured me that my negative/doubtful perception surrounding it was temporary. Upon first meeting him, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. He explained the importance of recognizing what happened and taking action for moving forward. I knew at that moment I was not in this situation alone. My DUI charge resulted in a favorable and desirable outcome. If you’re ready to put the past behind you and start working to preserve your future, call Robert today. Do not wait!

Bill is AMAZING at what he does. I was involved in a t-bone car crash that left me with a fractured leg. He fought with the other driver's insurance company and got me highest pay out they offered for my bodily injury. He also diligently negotiated a fair price to take care of the pending medical bills, which were lowered by 60%. He always kepted me updated on the status of the case and made himself available if I had questions or concerns. Bill is down to earth, and knows how to make someone smile in there time of need! Highly recommended!!!! He is my lawyer for life!

I reached out to David in a time of need for my family and he was extremely helpful and generous with his time and advice, not asking for anything in return other than helping us through a difficult situation. I have extensive experience with attorneys (immediate family and professionally) and would highly recommend David to anybody.

David Kupsky represented me in a medical malpractice case. He worked long and hard hours to make sure that he presented my case effectively. I don’t know where I would be today without his knowledge and help.

I cannot express the appreciation we have for David Kupsky. He represented our business with confidence and professionalism resulting in a settlement we were happy with. We were always treated with respect and kindness. There was not one moment during the time he worked with us that I felt we had made the wrong decision and as I told Mr. Kupsky afterward, "I don't know what we would have done without you". I highly recommend Mr. Kupsky. He is the best!

We've had the misfortune of being on the wrong end of two fairly significant car crashes in the course of a year or so. Ben was recommended to me by someone well respected in the Cobb County judicial circles. He and his staff did not disappoint. By nature, we are not litigious and have never filed a lawsuit before. We explained to Ben we were not out to ruin anyone or seek a windfall. He was respectful of our wishes and we got fair settlements in both injury cases, both times in a very timely fashion.

There simply are not enough positive words to adequately describe the compassion, empathy, honesty, transparency, and professionalism I experienced during my case with the Persons Firm for an auto accident. Ben and his Team (Tricia and Katrina) treated me with the utmost respect, dignity and care. They were always available, just a phone call or an email, and were incredibly thorough in researching and reviewing my case as they pursued justice. Throughout the difficult time, I took comfort in knowing that I was in the hands of a trustworthy, upstanding man of character like Ben, who would help me right the wrong and ultimately find a resolve to the trauma I had endured. Ben really cares about his clients and their well-being as well as their outcome. If ever you find yourself in need of an Attorney that has integrity, and treats you like a part of the family, The Persons Firm will be a blessing as well as the gift of peace that you deserve. Trust me when I say, they make you feel that you are being taken care of, and that you are not just a number, you are a name. As a client, I am completely satisfied. I would definitely recommend Ben Persons and his team.
Ben you and your Team are truly outstanding. May God continue to bless you in all that you do. I wish you continued success with your Firm and in life.

In April of 2014, my wife and daughter were involved in a serious car collision. We hired Jay Nohr to handle our case. There were several insurance companies involved so it ended up taking a little over four years to settle. Jay guided us through this long process, never giving up and was so prepared for our trial that the other insurance company settled the night before our trial was to begin. He had witnesses lined up, doctors ready to testify, big charts and photos blown up on poster boards. We were ready and the other side knew he was prepared. Over the years he kept us well informed, was very realistic with our case and is a very honorable man. He is not your typical lawyer, very caring and a wonderful family man. We were very pleased with him and the settlement he was able to get for us. Thanks Jay for taking such good care of us.

In June of 2017 my husband and I found ourselves engulfed in our worst nightmare. My 6 month old son had been throwing up for a week and after 4 ER visits it was determined that he had a subdural hematoma…AKA bleeding in the brain. With this diagnosis we were scared, worried, confused – we wanted to know how, why, what do we do??? And that is how our own personal hell began – with this diagnosis we were also being accused of harming our sweet boy and he was ripped from our arms. As a mother I felt like my heart had been ripped from my chest. I couldn’t understand why this was happening. The only information I had to go on is what the doctors filled my head with – these types of injuries only happen from abuse and that my son was lucky to be alive. I was in shock and absolutely devastated. With this knowledge I knew that they would never release him to go home from the hospital with us. In a panic I called our families and my father-in-law immediately sprang into action – and for that I am forever grateful – his quick action and with a little help from Google we found Jay.
From our very first meeting with Jay I felt some relief. He explained what we were up against, what we could expect to happen – and most importantly that these types of cases happen all too often – and that despite what these doctors had led me to believe, there is in fact many different causes for my son’s diagnosis. I won’t bore you with all the gritty medical details, but finding Jay, who was extremely knowledgeable about these types of issues, was what saved our family. Throughout the 4 months that we endured this hell every step Jay took was exactly the right one. I trusted him 100% to do everything in his power to get our baby back home to us….and he did. I hate to imagine what could’ve happened to us if we had hired anyone other than Jay. He was extremely educated and informed on everything surrounding our case. He was also patient with me (a distraught mom) – which couldn’t have been an easy task. I know he must’ve been very busy – but he always made time for me and made me feel like our case was his top priority. He was everything we could’ve hoped to find in an attorney – plus more. I wish that I could give him 100 stars - a five star rating just doesn’t do him justice.

Jay did a fantastic job representing our family. He left no stoned unturned, was emotionally invested, properly researched and prepared to prove the State had overlooked the real facts of our case. We always felt comfortable in Jay's hands. A true professional.

I will be forever grateful to Bob Windholz for the professionalism and dedication he exhibited as my personal injury attorney. In addition to gaining a settlement for me in an extremely difficult case involving a surgeon who switched his medical opinion to my detriment, Bob stood by me on a personal level. There were times when I was so low that I almost gave up, but he encouraged me, always exercising utmost concern that I have faith in the process. More importantly, I could put my faith in him. If you require a personal injury attorney, trust me, you should call Bob Windholz. –Robin D, Tucker, GA

Mr. Windholz has handled our personal injury with the upmost of professionalism.
And has been there for my family (being a single mom). When circumstances would arise. He is very detailed, organized and not the common Attorney - who calls you back in a week.
We are most grateful for his time, diligence and drive to help in our situation.
This is a Attorney not of the mundane but the extraordinary.

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:
-
What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases. -
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. -
How long will the process take?
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. -
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.
