I was with a previous firm before going to Michels and Booth! Adrian is an honest attorney! If I had any questions, and he did not have an answer, he would let me know find out the answer and contact me back! My case was a difficult case due to the previous attorney office's negligence! That attorney would stall, and drug my case out and extra6 months to a year in which it did not need to be! Adrian was very professional and reliable! My fiancé does not like attorneys and says they are all out for money! He really dislikes attorneys, however, once my case was settled, Adrian Bridges and Michels and Booth really showed us what their firm is about! This firm is wonderful and honorable! This would be my number #1 pick and would refer friends and people in a heart beat! Stephanie Joiner the paralegal that handled my cause was a sweetheart! You get to know these people and when your case is closed and done, your feel like your saying bye or see ya later to friends!

Jason Petterson was the best experience I could have had for a first time issue where legal advice and assistance was needed for me. He was very personable and professional. When it was time to go to trial he and his tem were prepared and very "on purpose" with the case. The outcome was positive and I felt they were there to communicate my feelings. I would recommend Jason Peterson and the firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you Jason excellent job.

My experience with the Penton Law Center has been very positive. My initial meeting with the firm was informative and not "pushy" at all. Christy takes a personal approach in all of her dealings regarding the sensitive topic of estate planning. She always responds quickly to my questions.

Excellent lawyer! Hired for a debt collection that went way better than I could've imagined. Hired again for other legal help and has been an overall wonderful experience. I even contact her with non-related legal questions and she immediately gets back to me with answers. I found my lawyer for life! Thank you Christy!

Greg handled our case with the utmost professionalism. It was a sensitive issue where emotions were raw, he recognized that. Many lawyers can not get past the business side, however Greg understood our feelings and helped us through a very tough time. I never doubted for a minute that he had our best interests in mind and gave our case 110%. I can, without reservation, highly recommend him, he truly is a credit to his profession.

Went to this guy for an accident. The office took my case, never set me up with appointments for treatment, sent me a list of providers, and then never returned my calls. Got a letter a few weeks later saying they're dropping my case because I didn't communicate. Don't waste your time.

After I was rear-ended and hurting I wasn’t sure what to do next. On the recommendation of a friend I hired John Rogers at Michles & Booth and it was the best decision I could have made. He helped me get access to the right doctors who treated my back and wrist and ultimately got a result for me that was much more than I was expecting. John’s paralegal, Bruce, was also excellent and I always had the ability to talk to someone about my claim. If I ever have to recommend a lawyer to a friend it will be John Rogers. He truly cares for his clients and gets great results!

Mr. Rogers and his Paralegal Brianna Ellis represented me in my MVA case. They provided excellent service throughout the entire process. Mr. Rogers listened to my concerns and advised wisely on the best way to move forward with my case. Brianna responded professionally to my calls and emails with updates. I'm very thankful to have an awesome team on my side. Thank you both for representing me and for successful outcome.

I highly recommend John Rogers. John was 100% honest and upfront about what to expect in my case. He had a great game plan that ended up with me winning my case. He was very informative throughout, never left me questioning what was going on. He was not a traditional lawyer in the sense of just being in it for the money. He showed he cared every time we interacted. He legitimately puts 110% into his cases. The thing that stuck out the most was his attention to detail, and I never had to repeat myself. Overall I was highly satisfied with him as my lawyer. I would recommend him 10/10 times to friends and family. Special thanks to Shane Eckert for his participation in my case.

From day 1, with phone consultation, ive had the most best professionalism from the McKenzie Law Firm and team. Michelle, Alex, Brian, Alicia, and Alistair himself have provided the upmost that they could to provide services to myself and any information I needed. I'm SO thankful for Michelle, for the break downs of legal jargon in each of her emails. And in any of the questions I've had. She's a true blessing for those who doesn't understand the legal talk, like myself. I will recommend anyone who needs legal work in the Panhandle of Florida, or Escambia County to reach out to McKenzie Law Firm.

When I asked around town what lawyer I should use to sue the PPD, the only answer I heard back was Alistair McKenzie and boy am I glad I listened. From the initial phone call until months after the mediation (where we settled out of court) Alistair and his team were fantastic! Michelle was especially helpful answering any and ALL questions I had about the case. Every email and call were responded to promptly with great efficiency. When I met Alistair at our initial consultation he told me what an injury like mine would usually pay out if it was settled out of court. And he hit that number right on the nose when it came down to settling. He fought diligently to get a number we both thought was fair and he achieved that goal. The state didn’t even want to go to court because of how well Allistar stood up for my civil rights (and many more before me) against these officers that unprovoked, pulled me from my car breaking my arm, dislocating my shoulder and severely tearing my rotator cuff. Alistair is not afraid to fight for his clients rights and with times the way they are he is the man for the job. Because of Alistair and his team I now own a home, am debt free and have a good amount in savings. I would 1000% recommend him and I thank him again for all his hard work.

I contacted Mr. Soloway about a car accident, and he said that although he didn't handle car accidents, he was willing to represent me. He seemed very friendly when we met, but then he handed the case over to his "associate." I was told that although cases like mine weren't money makers, because I was only looking for money to pay current and future bills, there should be no problem. About 8 months later, he called me in to his office and told me that he was unable to get any money and doubted that he would even get enough money for me to pay my current bills. He then accused my doctor of being a racist and said that the doctor was the reason that I wasn't going to receive any money. After looking through the file that was returned to me, I could see that neither he nor his assistant ever bothered to make a single phone call or write any letters. In fact, the assistant told me that I should get my doctor to write my "medical narrative," even though it was her job to contact him. This was the worst experience in my entire life.

I contacted Mr Soloway concerning an insurance dispute. Mr Soloway was kind enough to call me back after business hours and discuss my options. He gave me advise even though he would not be able to take the case. I was so impressed with this man and his integrity I felt I needed to write this review to let people know this is a rare person indeed!

Worse experience with an attorney. Communication is horrible, front office staff is rude and false promises made throughout the entire process.
My personal opinion would be to save your money and get a public defender. The only thing this man did that helpful was show up to court when we had work.
Last day of court a man incarcerated was last standing and Randall was not present as he was in a different court however, did not communicate this to anyone else either that he was representing this day.
For the price charged it is definitely not worth the money to hire. Save your money for the fees and fines you will more than likely have to pay in the end anyways.
If I could give no stars I gladly would

My husband and I needed some legal help, counseling, advice, and direction. We were hoping to sit down with someone who would listen to the situation that we have found ourselves in and then provide for the above-mentioned needs. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Several times in conversation, he made comments regarding our intelligence, or lack thereof, cut us off while we were speaking, had zero interest in listening to our concerns about said situation, and was subsequently of no help. He spoke horribly about his secretary and was rude to her. He made an easy two hundred and fifty dollars off of us, and we left frustrated and with no guidance at all. If you are also in need of the same kind of help as we were, look somewhere else or seek counseling with his daughter, Angela Guttman, and don't waste your time or money.

Only in it to take advantage of people regardless thier innocents. Told me the Judicial system just cares about processes and not justice. I am a Veteran on VA and Social Security Disability. He took all the money I had. I gave it to him up front and all he did was drag out the case for 8 months then sold me out for a plea deal because he thought I was not serious when I told him I only had the money I paid him in full up front. I had to get that $5500 from a Charity for Veterans that belived in my innocents. I still have to pay court costs which put money into funding victims of things I was not even charged with or convicted of being guilty. He can't defend your Constitutional rights. He can't defend your Declaration of Independence rights because the USA Government never made it a Lawful document. USA Independence, and individual sovereignty is a pipe dream lie which he profits from.

Very unprofessional and misleading!! Front desk hung up on me and wouldn’t answer the office phone. While on the phone continued to argue with me when all I asked was for a call back from Mr. Sellers who I’ve contacted for 2 weeks with no answer in office or by cell.
Mr. Sellers told his client he would be getting out of jail when they go to court June 29th and then tells him in court sorry I messed up. Saddest part is we both told the kids he was getting out and he didn’t. Mr. Sellers client contacted me from jail and asked me to call Mr. Sellers to see what’s was going on. Waiting for my call back from Mr.Sellers.

This law firm is horrible. They handle my settlement payment very poorly. They charged Veterans 40% for there services plus another 9% went to somewhere else. So, basically they took 50% of Veterans settlement proceeds. I am sure the are aware that most Veterans live on a fixed budget and won't complain because we need the funds. They received the funds sometime in July. When I contacted them about my specfic case they stated that my distribution letter was in the writing process. I waited until August 1 to contact them again and they stated they sent the letter out on the 31st of July. I informed them I did not receive it. They then to me they would send one out within the next three days. I did not receive a distribution letter until the 15th of August. I questioned them about when payment would be made they stated 14 days if you oped for direct deposit. It has been 15 business days and I contacted them about where my funds were and now they are stating the lost a batch of distribution letters and it will take an additional 15 days. This behavior is unacceptable. You can't even report there behavior. So hopefully someone reads this prior to choosing this law firm.

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.
