Renee Boston of the Boston Law Group, LLC fought for me and won! She handled my auto accident claims against an insurance company and got better results than we hoped for or imagined! Ms. Boston is extremely detailed. She went the extra mile for me in many aspects of my case so that I could focus on my recovery. She provided quality legal representation to me from Day 1 until the day my case was officially closed!

In September i was in a very bad car accident, at the negligence of the other driver. Renee and Marcus Boston faught to their best ability to have me accomodated for my loss (Pain and Suffering) and most important stuck by me thru my mental fear of driving near Large SUV's. The couple exceeded my expectations, and more importantly i never had to call them, they informed me. Five Stars, 10 Fingers 10 Toes...They are an awesome power team.

I knew GEICO was not giving me fair compensation for my injuries as I was ambulanced to the hospital on a back brace after 2 GEICO insured motorist slammed into the side of my car while I was waiting for a red light. Bob intervention in my case yielded me over 4 times the offer by GEICO. I am glad I did not settle. Bob was truly genuine about me and not just the case. I highly recommend him to anyone.

My fiance and I were hurt in a car crash and Geico low-balled us so Clark and Steinhorn put it into a lawsuit and got a nearly 50% increase in offer to settle the case. Clark and Steinhorn negotiated reductions in outstanding medical bills and the health insurance lien to assist me in the recovery process. During this very tough time, Clark and Steinhorn provided us with access to a wealth of industry knowledge and experience. They were both prompt and sensitive in addressing any concerns during the entire process. We hopefully will never need their services again, but I definitely appreciated the professional demeanor of Clark and Steinhorn.

I was involved in an auto accident, and hired a different attorney who i felt after several meetings wasn't listening or working as hard as he could have for me, so I met with Mr. Clark of Clark and Steinhorn and instantly decided to fire my other attorney and hire Mr. Clark. He kept me up to date on everything going on with my case, we had several meetings and anytime I needed him for anything he was there to answer any questions. The other insurance question only felt I was entitled to $1,000 settlement, it was no where close to a number we were happy with, Bob was able to get them to settle for $22,500 after filing suit. We were able to keep it out of court, and get a number I was comfortable with. I couldnt have done without them. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing legal help.

After my three children were in an auto accident we needed a lawyer. When we hired Mike Feldman we got so much more. Two of the children suffered head injuries, one of those injuries severe. One of these children also suffered a major collar bone fracture that ruined here high school sports year. The third child suffered major contusions and a fractured vertebrae. Not only did Mike guide us through the legal and medical web of the things that we needed to do he and his team reached out to us with guidance caring and compassion to help us to get back on the road to recovery. There were many things that we needed to worry about during this recovery period. The medical bills and legal aspects were not among those things. It took over four years to settle the cases for the children. At each turn Mike gave us reassurance, advice and guidance on how to make it through the next step. Also at each step he listened to our cares and concerns and in several cases modified the course of action to accommodate these concerns. When it came time for negotiations with the other side for what we determined to be a fair settlement he showed the tough side of being a lawyer. The children received very fair settlements for the hardships that they suffered. I could go on and on about how well Mike Feldman represented us but I'll suffice it to say that in him we found not just an excellent lawyer but a caring friend.

My wife underwent multiple surgeries and procedures between April and November of 2000 resulting from infections caused by contaminated hip implants. At years end we began to see television ads regarding a specific product. We decided to look for a competent attorney we were comfortable with. We interviewed no less than than four attorneys/groups. When I first talked to Mr. Feldman, my instincts told me there is something special about this guy. I was right. He and his entire team was always up to date on case progress and strategies. I don't believe I ever had to wait more than 30 minutes for a call-back. This was a complex case which eventually ended up in class action due to the number of litigants. There were literally hundreds, if not thousands of forms and documents to submit with strict deadlines. They did it all. We were more than pleased with the results of Mr. Feldman's diligence and professionalism. In the final analysis, we paid the mortgage and put in a pool with enough left over to provide a cushion in our retirement years

He agreed to meet with me that same evening at 3pm, then began representation for my rights in the case the next day. Tom also represented my son and daughter in separate cases that were ultimately successful. There are few attorney's left that genuinely care about their clients. Tom has over 20 years of experience as an attorney in multiple states. He knows the legal system, and will protect your rights and fight for victory in your case. Tom is amazingly thorough, he has continuously promised and delivered exactly as expected. Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication Tom, you went above and beyond to win cases for my family over the past three years. You are a rare gem - we appreciate you more than you know!

I hired Tom after I was in a serious car accident. The other side was denying it was their fault and refusing to pay for my injuries. Tom represented me against the other driver through a long trial before a jury. He gave me information at every step and made the process understandable and less scary. At the end, we won and I got a fair verdict. I am very happy with the work he did for me.

From my view, it was very complicated with loss of time at work, personal injury and car repairs. Thomas Neary knows how to quickly negotiate proper and fitting compensation and make things right. He is a man of integrity and truly cares for his clients. I would have no problem recommending him to anyone who requires legal representation.

I would strongly recommend her services and would seek, and have sought in several instances, her legal expertise and representation. Ms. Turner excelled in my Civil case, researched the issue at hand throughly and thoughtfully and provided solid, clear, and sound legal advise which ended in my favor. Ms. Turner's breadth of the subject was obvious in my conversations with her which I found to be informative, clear and for me calming.

After thirty five years with the company, only missing time out due to two pregnancies, I got hurt at work. One would think after all these years with the company one would know what to do. To my surprise, people were saying you can't file a workers’ comp claim, the company will fire you or make your life miserable. I called many different law firms and they would not take my case. It was looking very gloomy until someone recommended Will Inman to me. He is very knowledgeable, straight forward, patient and very clear with every step of the way. All one has to do is follow his instructions. He gives you top priority which makes you feel like you are his only client. His office is very busy and the staff is very competent. Will is a professional who makes you feel at ease. He is one person who will call you back by the end of day. He understands what the client is going through. Everything is done in a timely manner. Will is highly regarded by his peers and the judges. He works long hours especially over the weekend and you can reach him anytime. He is one of the most gifted men I have ever met. He is down to earth and very personable. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help. He has achieved all the things I needed for my pain management and the lost time from work paid. I'm very grateful for everything he has done for me. I cannot say enough for this man, he has saved my life.

Will Inman knows his business and goes about it with clarity and timeliness. You're in good hands if you have the ability to listen with an open mind and follow directions. With his "know-how" and both of you working with his competent office staff, you'll quickly recognize that you're going to get the best results possible. He acts swiftly when necessary and knows when to ride out the process. This professional behavior is the result of a man who understands how to deal with the minutia of law. As someone who is struggling, this is very important because I feel anxious about how long everything takes and whether or not I'll be able to provide for my future because my original plans no longer matter since having a life-changing accident. Will gets the "big picture" and what more could put you at ease than knowing you've found an attorney who will actively defend your legal woes for the best possible outcome. I keep reminding myself that it's difficult to see a big picture when you stand too close to it. It's necessary to stand back to observe all the techniques the artist used to create an image you can understand as a whole. To anyone who is looking for a good attorney with years of experience, I recommend that you take a step back and review Will Inman's profile to see if he can help you with your legal concerns.

I am writing to express my gratitude for the outstanding handling of my son's case by Dr. Manley and his team. Five plus years ago I began an effort to seek justice for my injured son in hope (in addition to financial compensation for Christopher and his siblings) that the physicians responsible for my son's injuries would be more aware of the relevant medical issues when responsible for care involving pregnancies like Christopher's. I believe Dr. Manley and his team accomplished this goal. Searching for an appropriate attorney/firm to handle Chris' case was challenging. I encountered a variety of issues. I had prominent New Hampshire based firms state that Defendants in Christopher's case "never settle cases". It is my experience as a Corporate Attorney that firms with reputations for not wanting to litigate are seldom offered attractive settlements. My perception was that many of the New Hampshire based firms appeared to have conflicts of interest having had the Defendants provide medical care to their colleagues/employees, although these firms were not always forthcoming when addressing this issue. I had a "high-powered" Massachusetts firm opine that our case was "not win-able" I eventually realized I needed to search outside New Hampshire for a firm with a reputation, financial resources, and attorneys willing to litigate every case in which it was necessary. As the old English metaphorical idiom goes, I realized I needed an "Elephant in the room" and/or "an eight-hundred-pound gorilla in the room". As I understand it, Defendants tried to bring in their own out-of-state, high-powered litigator (their "Elephant in the room") and when he was unavailable for our trial date, and the Judge had had enough of Defendants' typical delaying tactics, Defendants decided to acknowledge they were no match for our "Elephant in the room", Dr. Manley and your firm. So the reputation for Defendants in Christopher's case being unwilling to settle cases was overcome in Christopher's case. I am of the opinion that Dr. Manley's many years of experience as an actively practicing OB/GYN physician when utilized in questioning Defendants and Defendants' expert witnesses during depositions contributed significantly to Defendants' decision to make a "last minute" settlement offer. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Manley's and your firm's efforts on our children's behalf. Thank you Dr. Manley

Mike worked on our very complex lawsuit against a local contractor. Mike assisted in thoroughly researching case law for the trial. Mike also assisted with interviewing and selecting our expert witnesses. The experts, coupled with skilled attorneys, were the key to our win! In the courtroom, Mike was extremely helpful in keeping track of the information being presented by the defense. This proved to be very helpful as testimony can immediately affect a pre-established strategy. Mike's ability to manage and prioritize the information being revealed was critical. Mike demonstrated a great deal of respect toward the court and the court staff as well as for the proceedings of the court. He assisted us in proper court etiquette throughout the trial as well.

Price Benowitz is a firm of legal miracle workers! My attorney Matt Davey consistently exercised the highest level of integrity, dedication to the best possible outcome for me as a client and persistence in making sure the firm's intended outcome became a reality, even when I wasn't convinced it could be achieved. I highly recommend Price Benowitz and particularly the team of Matt Davey to any personal injury victim seeking excellent representation. Joan

Mr.Davey is one Hell of a lawyer! He fought tirelessly to get the maximum available settlement for me. There is a HUGE difference between what the insurance co WANTED to give me and what Mr.Davey actually GOT me. I can't imagine the # of hours that were put in to fight for my proper settlement.

Matt is a great lawyer period! When he took over my case it was just a few months from the SOL and I was very worried about that, Matt assured me that he would handle everything and handle it he did. He answered every single question I had (no matter how dumb) in a timely matter he didn't hesitate to email or call me back the same day! When it was time to negotiate with the insurance company Matt kept me on top of every single detail, and phone conversation. Matt truly seems to care about his clients, he doesn't just treat you like "a number" like some lawyer's and firm's do. Matt went well above my expectations. After my case settled I had some personal bills that I needed to get paid and Matt made arrangements to have my check hand delivered to me instead of mailing it and having to wait longer for it to arrive and clear so I was able to get those bills paid. Matt is not only a great lawyer but hes just a pleasure to deal with as well, he made a very stressful situation very easy to deal with and understand. I highly recommend if you need a lawyer. Call Matthew Davey!

I am beyond grateful for Jon and his great work in the lawsuit for my family. He was great to work with in all aspects of our very long and difficult journey. It is never easy to go through a lawsuit in which medical negligence resulted in such a negative outcome for the life of a family member. Jon was compassionate and caring throughout our entire journey. he was quick to respond, usually within a couple of hours, and always had an answer for all of our questions. I cannot recommend Jon enough. He will be a great lawyer for any client.

This business of medical malpractice is never easy, yet he handles it with care and concern. Jon was always on top of emails and other communication and I knew what was going on with my case almost as quickly as Jon found out hisself. If your case should go to court, rest assure that Jon is well prepared and ready to fight! He’s truly worthy of praise!

It took me a bunch of phone calls and horrible consultations before finding Ms. Jones to handle my worker's compensation case. I live in a smaller town where almost all of the attorneys who will talk to me about a work comp claim will set up a meeting for a lawyer who is in Baltimore in their office. The local lawyers don't take these cases, except this firm. I think they are the only ones who actually handle the work comp cases without shopping it out to another lawyer in the city. Not only did I get local service they are good lawyers too who handle a lot of different stuff.

I am a retired United States Postal Service employee. I was injured on the job that involved a third party of a contracted leased trucking company. I was unable to return to work due to the injuries I had sustained and retired on disability a year later. The lawyer I first consulted was injured and eventually turned my case over to Jackson Associates Law Firm and Ms Tiffany N. Sims took over my case. She gathered all supporting documents together from all the doctors I had seen, there recommendations for treatments, rehab and medications. In my accidental case as an postal employee my injuries were caused by negligents of the driver hired by a trucking company that's licensed, bonded and has a contract with the United States Postal Service for distribution/delivery of mail. Ms. Sims experience with work related lawsuit immediately contacted me for consultation and within less than a year of taking on my case an agreement was settled with very good closing results. I was very satisfied. She kept me updated with phone calls as well as emails on everything that was happening and all she was doing. Ms Sims experience, dedication and time she put into my case was grateful, she even consulted with an outside medical specialists in the field of injuries I sustained for their recommendation and advice thinking ahead towards settlement. Ms. Sims I appreciate all your efforts you put into settling my case and I would greatly recommend your service out to others seeking a great lawyer. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your dedication and time! Great Job!!!

He works with compassion and dedication, and he stands up in your defense when it comes to mitigation.

They have the knowledge, experience, patience, persistence, and network of medical experts to ensure you have the best outcome for your case, whether personal injury or the untimely and preventable death of a loved one. Vadim, Angelica, and the entire firm will work diligently to represent you. Vadim and Angelica successfully represented me in a very complicated three-part wrongful death lawsuit against an Assisted Living Facility and its large insurance company, represented by a very large and prestigious law firm with tremendous resources. At all times, Vadim and Angelica were accessible and very responsive to my questions and concerns, communicating directly with me to explain strategies and the legal process honestly and clearly. They kept me informed and explained the legalities as the case progressed, while maintaining compassion and sensitivity to my loss. They truly worked for me, achieving a very favorable outcome and they will do the same for any of their clients. I will always contact Vadim and Angelica for any future legal needs I may have and I am so very grateful for their tireless and unrelenting efforts on my behalf and justice for my dear Mom. Thank you so very much!

Everyone here is professional and very helpful. They are very knowledgeable about their areas of practice. Mr. Fatemi is the man for all your immigration and criminal issues. He is very calming and reassuring. He even joked with us while we were very nervous during our interview. His cool and composed demeanor helped me to start being positive about winning my agonizing case. When he tells you to let him handle your case, please do. He knows the best way to handle it.

I still call on a Phil when I need a referral for an attorney in my state. He is the best, so I know he knows the best. Mr. Zuber was also facing a family tragedy at the time our lawsuit was going on. I didn't even know about it until our case was over. His compassion was always for us, not for himself.

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.
