David as well as his paralegal Sandra, both took the time to truly understand my case to truly understand what it is I needed and was able to deliver in a timely, as well as professional manner. Sandra would make weekly calls to me to let me know the progress of my case which was extremely appreciative, considering the anxiety over everything else is already heightened, to not have to worry about the progress of my case was a huge load off my back!

This morning, I met Attorney Blau for a scheduled appointment to review my situation to see if we should proceed with a case. Going through a legal process for personal injury from a healthcare provider is quite intimidating, but meeting Attorney Blau today was wonderful. Although pursuing a lawsuit would not be economically feasible for my situation, I really appreciated the education regarding legal proceedings in the state of WI that Attorney Blau shared with me. He is really a nice, down to earth guy and if I ever needed any legal help, I know exactly who to call. I also liked that their office had a parking lot where i could park my car for free instead of being downtown. Just wanted to share my good experience & give 5 stars. I will recommend him to everyone I know.

The staff was amazing from start to finish. Explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions. Even just sending a message occasionally to check in on how I was doing was indicative of how caring and considerate their team was. Highly recommend Attorney Laurence Fehring and his wonderful staff especially Shannon!!

I met Ann when she fought to make whole several elders whose homes and belongings were (legally) stolen by a licensed corporate guardian. She did the right thing, not for her benefit, but because she does the right thing. When I was attacked and injured she also fought for me. I trust her without reservation. She is personable, kind and firm when doing right by her clients. A judge I know once called her the most brilliant Attorney he had ever met. That's high praise coming from one of her law school classmates. Call Ms. Jacobs.

Ann Jacobs proved to be a competent and knowledgeable attorney. I was still on crutches when referred to Attorney Jacobs by a colleague and was skeptical about "suing" anyone. Attorney Jacobs convinced me that I had a certain expection, under the law, to visit a public venue safely. Not only was she successful in convincing me, she won the case!
For my convenience, we communicated mostly through email. She was quick to respond to questions and forward important information. I never waited more than half a day for responses.
I would definitely recommend Attorney Jacobs to litigate even the most complicated personal injury cases.
Thanks Ann for all of your compassion, knowledge and willingness to work so hard.

One call is literally all I made! Attorney James Fields-Bowers was extremely professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Paralegal Cassidy Meyers kept me informed every step of the way. The kindness they displayed along with their commitment to get me the fairest possible outcome was remarkable. Attorney David Gruber even checked in on me and my case personally to ensure I was satisfied with their representation. I can honestly say that “One Call, That’s All!” Isn’t a cliche or fancy slogan but it is an actual statement! Please continue the great work and commitment to helping others. Thank you.

Attorney Arena is a very good lawyer, he lets you know up front what's going on, how to move, and fees, and he cares about your situation. Attorney Arena also helped in areas he didn't have to and I'm glad he was here to help. As for me he went above and beyond getting things done, he also helped to get my probate attorney moving.
Thank You,

This man works miracles and is nothing short of an absolute legend!
Stephen worked through my case to take a situation that would have been detrimental to my future and was able to reduce it, through his knowledge and expertise in the field, into an opportunity for me to come out the other end and learn from my mistake instead of being buried by it.
This man will work HARD for you, he will fight for you with unbelievable tenacity and tact, but most importantly he will do all of this while maintaining a calm, kind, respectful, and humble disposition towards you that is free of any personal judgement and only aims to get you the best possible outcome for your case.
Trust this man with your life. I did and have never looked back on my decision.... only forward with a new outlook on life because of him.

My experience with Marcellus Parker was certainly a positive outcome. He was very well spoken addressing all my concerns and very professional addressing the commissioner, keeping communication straight forward and on point. I also would like to note that the Administrative Assistant was also very kind, helpful, and professional as well. Which helps with making you feel more confident and comfortable despite the circumstances, yet throughout the process.

While I strongly dislike writing poor reviews, I feel an ethical obligation to warn the public about this law firm. Simply put, John Machulak has no communciation skills. The reason I am giving him 3 stars is ONLY because of his administrative assistant. She is his saving grace. She has fantastic communication skills and an amazing work ethic. However, there is only so much she can do.
There was no strategy meeting, no set goals/deadlines, emails/phone calls were constantly ignored and I was never coached for arbitration. The day before arbitration (while I was trying to board an airplane to attend the arbitration) attorney Machulak expected me to be able to review and go through evidence for the following day. How am I supposed to do this 33,000 feet up in the air? Everything with him is extremely last minute and then he expects you to drop whatever you are doing and respond to him immediately after ignoring you for days. He clearly demonstrated a lack of respect for my time repeatedly.
Billing is extremely confusing. Invoices are very difficult to read, not itemized by hour and not provided in a timely manner. I asked for a current balance the morning of arbitration and he was unable to provide me with one. I asked for paid receipts for bookkeeping and still have not received any. I finally received a huge invoice that I was unprepared for (because it was never communicated with me what he was working on) weeks after arbitration was over.
This past 1 1/2 years have been the most stressful of my entire life and working with attorney Machulak made it twice as stressful as it needed to be. It was a favorable outcome, however, a lot of last minute stress could have been avoided, many billable hours could have been saved, and the arbitration could have been MUCH shorter had he simply held an hour strategy meeting with me well in advance to go over evidence and properly prepare for the day.

This women will literally lie to you
Saying you don't have a case in order to shirk work. Text book gold-brick .
She will go as far as even trying to persuade you with erroneous information to convince you to not appeal your case.
She represented my guy Curtis Brown and ended up causing a mistrial due to her ineffective performance.
This poor man is doing 34 years in prison due to her negligence.
I ask for my casefile and she won't even give me documents that negate my guilt.
Marcella you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself..
When confronted by the Office of Lawyer regulation about emails that allude toward prosecutoral misconduct being withheld. She literally ignored me.
Public defender Marcella depeters is the epitome of what's wrong with America's justice system.
Shame on you.

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.
