Ray and his assistant Maureen were incredible with all of the details that were covered and also keeping in touch with us to let us know the status of the lawsuit. Ray is extremely knowledgeable not only in his field but many other venues. I was very comfortable in discussing the case and the options that were presented. Great Barrister. In case you are wondering, Barrister is another name for attorney. lol

What's a Renaissance Attorney? He's one who understands aspects of the law outside of his or her specialty, and wants to think outside the box, using solutions from one area of the law to solve problems in another. That's exactly what Rick did in my accident injury case. He worked very hard, separating the claim into two major parts, and using different court forums. I highly recommend Rick in any serious case where efforts are needed for a maximum outcome to the client.

Never having dealt with any legal issues in my life besides a speeding ticket, I was clueless and terrified of what to expect when hiring a lawyer for a “your worst nightmare” situation. Bruce came highly recommended by a respected colleague of his and I am so grateful that I took their advice.
A veritable powerhouse, Bruce’s unassuming stature belies a confidence and keen intelligence that are rarely seen these days, even in lawyers. Whether I had questions or concerns or just needed an update, Bruce was always very professional and quick to respond to my requests, all with a booked schedule. His knowledge was quite extensive and he was confident that my case would amount to nothing. He was absolutely right, with Bruce on my side, all charges were dropped against me!
It was by no means a short or cheap process, but I was never led to believe anything different. Bruce was always very upfront about what was going on and the possible outcomes that could be forthcoming. All in all, I was extremely pleased with my experience hiring Bruce and I would highly recommend him for anyone struggling with serious criminal charges against them.

I'm very shocked Mr. Linder has no reviews.
Ryan J. Linder has been phenomenal, he has been so helpful. Not only did he help me voice my concerns to an insurance company who wouldn't give me the time of day, he got me what I deserved.
He managed to get my settlement number up and bring my medical expenses down. The drop in the numbers that he achieved was very surprising. i.e. I owed well over $15,000 to one doctor and he got them to accept just under $5,000 for it all!
I was beyond impressed. I'm still in shock. I didn't believe it until I got a letter from the doctor's office saying that I still owed the amount, less than $5,000 (I had to wait for my check to clear and they were just sending a reminder)
Aside from his extensive knowledge and impressive creative writing skills, he is a very kind person. He treats you as if you are his one and only client. He is very hands on and up front. You're not always talking to his paralegal. (She is a very nice woman as well. She took care of me while Mr. Linder was out dealing with other cases in court) The only time he is out of his office is when he is dealing with court cases. I retained him for about a year to a year and a half and not once did I have an e-mail go unanswered.
He has been very kind to me, very understanding, and listened to me complain about the same thing over and over, just different ways each time (haha).
Ryan, you are my life saver and I couldn't thank you enough for everything you have done for me.
THANK YOU SOO MUCH! :)

Tracy and Joelle by far is the best team! Have been in my crazy battle for 4 years now, with my previous lawyer he did an okay job, but after hiring Tracy and her team, I am finally making progress. Tracy has been very transparent and gives the best advice throughout this crazy/difficult time. She has given me so much peace of mind and very on top of it. Her and Joelle has exceeded all of my expectations and then some. I am a complete over thinker and they both have eased my mind so much and have kept me sane from all of the crap I have been through. I wish I hired Tracy to begin with, but very happy I found her through a referral! Thank you over and over !!

We highly recommend Brigham Cluff. We were referred to him this year by a client for assistance with a medical injury matter where my husband experienced a very poor medical experience that led to adverse events. He was extremely thorough, detailed, competent and honest. More than that, we also found him to be a great balance of both excellence and professionalism as well as genuine empathy and care. He listens, he takes in all the information, and, he recommends the best possible solutions for his clients from a high level of expertise. He truly wants to help his clients achieve the best possible outcomes. I've since recommended him to a colleague in need, and, I will continue to refer him clients to ensure they're in the very best of hands. You can implicitly trust Brig and his team. Top integrity & results.

I can’t recommend Mr. Cluff and his team highly enough for anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. They turned a very stressful time after my car accident into a much more manageable experience. Mr. Cluff was incredibly professional, and I always felt well-informed. He was excellent at explaining everything and made sure I fully understood what was going on in my case. I also want to give a special shoutout to Patty, the paralegal who worked on my case. She was amazing! She was attentive, organized, and always available to answer any questions I had. Patty kept me updated every step of the way, ensuring I always knew what to expect. With their combined efforts, I felt completely supported throughout the entire process. Thank you both for your amazing work!

I’m so grateful for the support I received from O'Steen & Harrison, particularly from my attorney, Kathryn McCormick. She was incredibly thoughtful, taking the time to listen to every detail of my case and fully understand the complexities involved. Ms. McCormick went above and beyond to ensure my case was handled properly. Her careful and diligent approach in presenting the information in court led to my case being dismissed. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Ms. McCormick or anyone on the team at O'Steen & Harrison. Simply put… They get the job done, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I know things could have gone very differently had I not chosen O'Steen & Harrison to represent me.

In early 2018, my brother went to a Scottsdale, Arizona restaurant. He was over served alcohol at this restaurant and subsequently collapsed. He died a few days later at a nearby hospital. My mother and I were shocked and in disbelief.
We began a search for a competent, tenacious and aggressive Arizona attorney experienced in DRAM shop law who would investigate and evaluate such a case. We found Mick Levin in Phoenix.
After discussing the case with him, he told us it would be a complex, time-consuming matter and we decided to move foward with the case.
Mick, and his colleague, John Robertson II, filed a multi-million dollar action against the restaurant in late 2018 in the Arizona Superior Court. The matter was later moved to Federal Court in Arizona. The case had many twists, turns and delays, but it eventually ended up in mediation. During the mediation phase, Mick personally traveled to Ohio to represent my elderly mother in person during the Zoom mediation hearing. We were unable to reach an agreement during mediation, so Mick decided to take our case to trial. In the days prior to the trial, the defendants tried to settle the matter numerous times.
Mick worked tirelessly obtain a reasonable settlement offer.
Just prior to the scheduled trial (and after more than 3.5 years of litigation in State and Federal Court and a failed mediation attempt), Mick was able to settle the matter with a financial judgement that reasonably reflected the immeasurable loss our family sustained. Mick even negotiated the initial settlement document to ensure the agreement language was equitable.
I am confident any other lawyer would have either failed us or settled the matter for far less. I would very highly recommend Mick Levin to anyone who is seeking a tenacious and knowledgeable lawyer for a matter involving very complex litigation.

Mr Levin helped me get justice!! I had a personal injury case where I had unknowingly hired an insensitive unprofessional individual that actually called himself a lawyer!! Mr Levin took my case when no one else would, he represented me pro bono! He was genuinely very upset that this other lawyer did not complete his responsibilities on my case! Mr Levin was amazing throughout the entire trial! It was exciting to see how he presented my case and how the entire jury was so attentive to every word he spoke! He won my case and I was awarded $175k!! His staff was so professional and caring towards myself and my situation! Christy Berry his Legal Assistant was on top of it, always informing me on my case! Both Mr Levin and Ms Berry are so passionate and caring about their work and their clients! I highly recommend Mick Levin to represent you all as your Lawyer!! Thank you Mr Levin!!! You are awesome!!

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.
