Jim Quinn is an all-around great person and a wonderful attorney. He takes time to answer all of your questions and will fight to ensure you get what you deserve. My divorce case presented some challenges due to a difficult opposing party. Mr. Quinn would not waver from my case goals when the opposing party tried to drag the case on and when the opposing party decided to represent himself and call Mr. Quinn constantly. He was honest with me and took time to explain things, from the time we met at the consultation to the completion of my case. He also refused to let me accept less then I deserved from the divorce when I felt like giving up. He will fight for you and make you feel like you are more than just a pawn in the legal system. He also genuinely cares for his clients. I highly recommend Jim Quinn to anyone needing an attorney.

A few years ago I found James online after consulting with numerous military lawyers and civilian lawyers, everyone told me either my case was too complicated or I'd fight a battle I wouldn't win and they wanted no parts of it. After consulting with James he gave me this look and said "I won't give up on you, so don't give up on me." He stayed true to his words, and made me feel as if I was his top priority even though he was working other cases. I NEVER not once feel like he lost interest in my case or as if I was put on the back burner. Every time I called him, he answered or called me back within minutes. It was a point in my case where we had been to court a few times and all of the judges said the same thing and I felt I was never going to win, so I called james and expressed my concern and was basically ready to give up and quit, he told me not to worry about a thing, he was not letting me give up and he wasn't giving up on me. He allowed me to make payments when I could, which took a huge amount of stress of my life financially. He didn't change the way he interacted with me and he worked just as hard. In the end he did exactly what he told me he was going to do. I am a single father who now has physical custody of two beautiful twin girls. I can never say thank you enough James. If you are considering hiring James, I strongly encouraged you to do so without hesitation, whatever problems you may have, wether it be financial, personal, physical or anything just communicate it with him and I know for a fact that he'll be willing to work with your specific situation.

Mr Quinn took the time to personally get to know each and every one of us involved in our very difficult case. He connected with each of us. I felt like we were more than just clients. He went above and beyond to make sure that we all had all the information needed to make very informed decisions about our case. He is an exceptional lawyer and he cares. I would recommend you put Jim to work for you in your time of need. You will not regret it.

I was in a car accident and the insurance company was being unreasonable about settling my claim. Jim was easy to work with and was able to get me a quick and more than fair resolution to my claim. I highly recommend Jim to all of my family and friends and will use him again if I have another need for legal representation.

Mr. Corley is by far the best lawyer we have ever dealt with. He has always been very professional and upfront about all information regarding my cases. He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of my case. He went above and beyond and always made sure i was aware of any changes in my cases. I had a total of 7 criminal cases in various counties. He was able to get them nolle processed or a not guilty verdict. My cases took over a year to resolve and I am more than happy with the outcome. There are not too many lawyers out there that will take the time and dedication as he does. Mr. Corley treated us more like family not just a client. I highly recommend his services and would use him again for any legal services or advice.

I had a very unfortunate traffic incident several years ago in the state of Maryland. As a result, my Pennsylvania driver’s license was suspended. I had tried several other avenues to get this resolved before finding the Killian Law Firm. Each one led to either a dead end or being treated/spoken to with such disrespect and arrogance that I had almost given up on ever getting this resolved. Then I found this wonderful firm. Not only were they willing to work with me on a payment plan, but AT NO TIME did the treat me as anything other than someone who simply needed help and guidance. Their communication was quick and thorough. And their handling of my case before the Maryland Courts was exemplary. I literally cried when they called to inform me that my matter was handled. This albatross around my neck that I had carried and been ashamed of for over 5 years was no longer a problem. I will forever be thankful to everyone in this firm, especially Allison, for their professionalism, their kindness and their knowledge.

Having to come forward as a victim of childhood sexual abuse was one of the scariest, most difficult things I have ever done…but it had to be done and when I reached out to The Yost Legal Group, Kerry was there for me in a way that made the experience more personal and meaningful than I had imagined it would be. She walked me through my past experiences at my own pace and made me feel comfortable in the present moment. If anyone has experienced trauma as a result of childhood sexual about of any kind I encourage you to reach out to The Yost Legal Group and let them know what you’re going through.
Thank you Kerry.

Yost Legal Group is the best! From day one i was respected and my issues was handled with care. This whole group is the best and hands down the best legal team in the united states.I have had multiple different law groups and none have showed me the respect and care i need being an abuse survivor. I have ptsd due to the abuse and this group even worried about me as if i was a family member, i really feel like they look at their clients like their family members in need. I give praise where praise is due , so to Mr. Yost him self and especially Ms.Tonya they have a heart. I had a phone conversation with Ms. Tonya and i was in tears about the abuse and she cried with me, being very impathetic , and sensitive to me from the start.If your thinking of a good legal group this is the one trust me you won’t be disappointed. They fight like it’s the last fight, like their life depends on it. They will get you what your owed and be there for you through and through.Im amazed by this group and how organized they are as well as they energy they are the “BEST” … B. SWEENEY

Five star service. When my seemingly typical estate probate suddenly had many twists and turns, George Meng was able to assist me immediately, beginning on a holiday weekend. I was grateful for his legal guidance on a moment's notice. Throughout the process for a number of months he deftly maneuvered through two separate estates and it was a very positive outcome with great relief for me. No matter how much advance planning you have done, it can be a very tough and trying emotional experience. George was terrific and calming; he knows his estate law and I learned early on to trust his judgment and advice. I highly recommend him and would rely on his expertise for estate and will legal advice and services.

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.
