Adrian is excellent. He (and his team) were very fast to communicate and understand my situation and requirements. He gave me a lot of really useful advice for creating a us-based startup. I will definitely request his services in future as my situation evolves.

I have used multiple family law attorneys in the Syracuse area over the last 12 years and have had more stress and confusion than results. Within 15 minutes of my consultation with Megan Smith I knew she would make sure my voice was heard. If you are looking for an attorney who will prioritize your case, hold others accountable and keep attention to detail, I recommend using Ms. Smith!

Good service - they take time to understand the details and workings of your idea. Professional writing above what an individual can likely produce on his/her own. But wildly expensive - would absolutely NOT recommend trying to get a patent (or even a Provisional Patent) when you're young. They quote you one amount and the overall price ends up being about twice what they estimate. If you're older and more established and actually have money, I recommend using this service

I feel compelled to warn others about this law firm after my terrible experience following a car accident. My advice? NEVER HIRE TV LAWYERS! These attorneys are primarily focused on settling cases, and I had to fight with my own attorneys just to get a marginally better settlement. Communication was attrocious; it often took days for anyone to respond. When they did, it was clear they weren't paying attention—duplicated emails were common, showing a complete lack of professionalism. The worst part? When we finally received our settlement, they couldn't even bother to meet my mom in person to thank her for choosing them. Instead, one of the attorneys coldly handed us our check after years of silence. On top of that, they hit us with unexpected charges for things like certified letters. It’s shameful. This firm is more concerned with their image and commercials than actually helping clients. If you're looking for competent legal representation, do yourself a favor and find a private personal injury attorney who will truly fight for you. My experience here was a complete letdown, and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same ordeal.

This Law Firm is exceptional. I have a long history with Mirman, Markovits and Landau and they are extremely professional and successful with best results. I highly recommend them to all searching for the Best of the Best!

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.

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.
