Thank you daryl for helping me . Thank you heather for listening. CC

When, at age 44 my son suffered a massive Ischemic stroke, my greatest concern was how he would be able to live a normal life without the use of his speech and his arm.. Daryl Zaslow went to bat for him and through his tireless efforts, his medical knowledge and his sincere concern for my son, Mr. Zaslow secured for my son a future not only without financiial worries, but with hope and happiness. There are no words to express the thanks of our family to a great lawyer.

I am writing this testimonial to praise Brian and Justin Drazin and the outstanding staff at the law firm of Drazin and Warshaw in Red Bank, New Jersey. I experienced a pedestrian (me) versus vehicle accident in early 2020 and was recommended to Mr. Drazin. Brian is a gem. He successfully navigated me and my case through the labyrinth of the insurance and justice system. He patiently listened to me and took time to answer my many questions. He kept me calm as together we weaved our way over the ensuing years to a fair settlement. I also dealt with Justin with equally wonderful result. Without hesitation, I confidently recommend the Drazin law firm and those working within that group to anyone needing legal representation. They will do you well.

Seigel Law does right by it's clients. I was referred to the office by my boss. I'm so glad I listened. I'm forever grateful to Seigel Law and his staff. When you are a pedrestrian hit in an auto accident like me, and seriously injured, you hope to find a sympathetic lawyer with the legal experience to help you navigate the unknown. This office has these qualities. My attorney James Kimball, the supporting staff Jasmine and Arlin were outstanding with communication. I was delighted with the settlement results and all my medical bills were properly handled. I speak from experience, truly recommend Seigel Law.

I would never recommend either Francesca or Carlye, as my experience with them was that of ineffectiveness, procrastination and extreme inefficiency resulting in high bills and no accomplishments on my behalf, accompanied by poor attitude. I contacted Francesca in late Sep 2023 to help me and my son gain control of my son’s college fund and get my ex to pay child support. Francesca was optimistic, stated that they will get to work on it “right away”, and suggested that she bring on Carlye as it would be “more efficient”. What I was not told is that I will be billed thousands of dollars for Francesca and Carlye talking to each other (conferences they called it, and that is very lucrative for the two of them, but definitely not efficient). I was also not told that it meant that Francesca will dump my case on an inexperienced junior attorney –something I would have never agreed to. Not knowing any better I took her advice. By the end of November, still with no court date or even a motion in sight, my ex hired a lawyer, who, according to Francesca, was going to give us a counter-offer. Francesca suggested we wait to see it, before going to court. I waited for somebody to reach out to me until mid-January, for nearly 2 months, when my ex sent my son’s tuition payment to himself instead of to college. When I texted her, Francesca finally called my ex’s lawyer and discovered that he fired her. I am not sure when Francesca or Carlye were planning to follow-up on the situation if I didn’t text them. At that point, Francesca reassured me that we will be doing to court “very soon” (previously suggesting that in such a situation we can have an emergency court hearing within days). However, neither she nor Carlye pursued an emergency hearing, and did nothing to remediate the situation, leaving myself and my son to fight my ex for the tuition money, but I was billed thousands of dollars for communicating with them about the situation. It took until March to get a motion produced, with the court date eventually scheduled for mid-April. At that point my ex lawyered up again, asking to postpone the court date so they can file counter-motion. While it only took his lawyer a total of only 11 days from when he was hired until he completed the motion and submitted it to court, my lawyers missed court communications, and with all the other delays on part of Francesca and Carlye we did not get to court until early June, more than 8 months from when I hired them, and at the cost of 4-5 times what my ex paid his lawyer to get to that point. Once we got to court, Carlye proved to be just as ineffective and inefficient in convincing the judge of anything of benefit to me. The summer was spent by her in an unbroken streak of failures to get any results on my behalf or to move the process toward resolution through multiple court appearances, while billing me thousands of dollars. I was left to fight with my ex by myself outside of court to try to get to any kind of an agreement about the college fund and child support, while continuing to pay legal fees for "representation" but no results. My ex and I finally came to an agreement, outside of court, with no input from my lawyers. The agreement was written up by my ex’s attorney, who was much more responsive and efficient through that process. I really should have fired Francesca and Carlye at that point and finalized it myself, but I thought that I may as well benefit from having access to legal representation. Another mistake. They dragged it out for another 2 months, with the final agreement being identical to the original + changes by my ex that he sent over the day after his lawyer circulated the agreement, but I was charged additional ~ 4500 for their “work”. They did nothing but dragged the process out for over a year, left me to fight with my ex by myself and “efficiently” billed me tens of thousands of dollars. When I brought my concerns to Francesca, she accused me of trying to shake her down and get out of paying my bills. So – definitely don’t recommend.

The O’Cathian Law Group was introduced to me by a close friend who himself had gone through a very difficult transition in his life. Best advice I got. From my very first meeting with Francesca and Thomas, it was very clear to me that I had made the right choice. Thomas rolled up his sleeves and worked his tail off for me. He is very knowledgeable, competent, caring, compassionate, thoughtful and always treats me with respect. Thomas guided me through the most difficult 14 month period of my life. Though I never wanted to walk into their office I am very happy with my result and will be forever grateful that I did. I highly recommend them.

I was injured, mad, and didn’t know where to start or who to trust. I got off the phone and told my wife that I found an attorney who truly wants to provide the best service necessary for my case. He managed the expectations and provided constant support without belittling the situation at hand. His responsiveness and follow up was second to none.

He easily grasped the complexity of my case and eased my concerns, while ferociously fighting for me.

I had been to several attorneys who clearly did not understand my issue and were not interested in trying to understand it. One such lawyer even went as far as to say that I didn’t have a case. And then I found Patrick X. Amoresano, Esq.. He answered the phone when I called which was unexpected. This impressed me. He spoke to me at length and he listened when I spoke. He heard me. He cares deeply about justice and helping others. He advocates for his clients and goes above and beyond what most lawyers do for their clients. I marveled at his ability to get to the heart of the issue quickly, flesh out the truth, and then set his approach or plan of attack. He is relentless in action. I loved the way he handled the doctors during depositions. Clearly he knew as much if not more than the doctors did. He was in complete command of the subject matter. He does the work necessary to have a successful outcome. My case was complex and difficult. Patrick explained things to me. He kept me in the loop at all times. He always returned my calls and emails even after being in court on another case. In less than 2 years, Patrick settled my case. I was very happy with the outcome. Patrick is kind, caring, ethical and committed. He is a unique individual, a lawyer with a heart of gold. In the halls of justice, he is a true super hero.

I wanted to share an extremely positive experience I had working with Brian. Not only is he smart and well connected but he is compassionate. I had an issue with some tenants who were law students, and thought they could leave my place in a shambles and not paid 3 months and leave their lease 4 months early. I had originally contacted Brian to handle the eviction, however he went above and beyond to try to solve this for me, and was able to obtain satisfaction out of this unfortunate set of affairs. He took extraordinary steps at his own expense. At each step of the way he let me know what was going on and even though it took a little bit longer but it's only because of the court system. I will certainly use Brian for other things I need in the future such as real estate closings or other business transactions. He is more expensive than other eviction attorneys, but he will come through for you where others fail, and is worth his weight in gold to put things in his capable hands and be able to step back, and get an excellent resolution with someone who really has your back.

He made sure that the only thing that I had to worry about from the accident was making sure I got better. Words can't even express how happy I am that I chose Evan Baker as my lawyer, and how happy I am on how my case ended. I honestly don't know what I would have done without Evan Baker as my lawyer.

I suffered a minor injury while on the property of a national motel chain. Though the motel ignored the claim and brushed me off, Mintz & Geftic pursued them methodically and promptly, overcame every obstacle, stood up to them, and saw to it that they were held them responsible. Throughout the process, I was amazed that every time I called for any reason, the lawyer himself found time to jump on the phone and answer my questions directly. Yes, there's a large support staff, but they handle things behind the scenes, while I had direct access to the attorney! Everything considered, I feel I was treated like family or a VIP.... and they made the motel chain cough up $38,000! Very satisfied!

I consulted with the attorneys at Mintz & Geftic after I was injured in a serious accident on the Garden State Parkway. I suffered numerous injuries and a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, and the lawyers at Mintz & Geftic made sure I understood everything going on. The case was scheduled for trial on numerous occasions and each time the attorneys spent days and long weekends preparing for trial. They were going to make sure I received a large recovery for the injuries I suffered. The case ultimately settled just before we began the trial. I am so pleased with the result that they obtained for me, and can't thank them enough for the time and energy they put into my case.

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.
