I was extremely fortunate to be represented by Attorney Sandra Neuman. Attorney Neuman was truly phenomenal during the entire legal process. Her determination, dedication, mindfulness, communication, and guidance went beyond my expectations. I always felt very supported and confident in Attorney Neuman’s abilities. I will be eternally grateful to her for support, guidance, and genuine concern for my well-being. Because of her diligence and expertise, I received a favorable outcome with my case. I highly recommend her to anyone needing legal representation. J. Gray

I met Matthew Kikta at Julian Grey Associates in 2016 when he put together an Asset Protection Trust and associated documents (POA, Last Will & Testament, etc.) for my elderly parents. Matthew is very knowledgeable and professional. When my parents passed in 2022, he helped me by submitting the Inheritance Tax return to the state. Matthew always responded quickly to any emails I sent to him (questions I had regarding how to handle things after my parents passed). I strongly recommend Matthew to handle any needs associated with Elder Law.

I had an amazing experience with Shrager Attorneys. The whole process was super smooth, and the communication was top-tier. Lyle and Frankie were both incredible—they really had my back every step of the way. Even when I slipped up on my end, Frankie made sure everything stayed on track. I felt completely supported throughout, and I’d 100% recommend them to anyone. If I ever needed legal help again, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Thank you guys again!

I sat in jail with a bond set 200k for simple and 5 k for DUI (3) assault and intimidating witness, from a known abusive ex. Drug dealer. A police officer I sued a year prior finally pulls me over in another jurisdiction under no legal way no legal reason to pull me over. He stated that my back window was covered with a plastic he couldn't see through which was one that I bought at AutoZone and this was in Westmoreland county he then said he traveled me across the bridge for 4/10 of a mile to clock me to make to see if I was speeding I suppose he came to the conclusion I was going 34 in a 25 which would be impossible to prove because there wasn't enough space for him to actually properly conduct that speed check and that was established in the courtroom in front of the judge and the judge still allowed this man to leave the courtroom lying and I know courts got a lot to lie about but if I'm innocent until proven guilty nah. in a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee .

I used this firm a while ago for a car wreck and thet got me a great settlement. Recently I used them for a neck injury and they got me 1/10 of what I should have got. I was extremely disappointed and upset. I had to call numerous times to remind them I was a client and was waiting. I talked to some other firms after I received my settlement and they told me they could have gotten me a lot more money. I would rather use Edgar Snyder than these guys again what an insult the amount of money I got for a neck injury. These guys are a joke now.

I was hit by a car on November 16, 2023, and it’s been a long road to recovery. Through a friend, I was recommended to Brendan Lupetin, Greg Unatin, and their associate Garrett Trettel. They were there for me every step of the way, guiding me when I didn’t know what to do and answering my questions pretty much anytime—day or night. They worked hard to get me the best results possible and even reduced some of their fees to help me. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

3 years ago my son and I were involved in a car accident. My son’s grandfather referred me to Lupetin & Unatin for representation for the accident. His referral came highly regarded due to him having a case where he was sued Duquesne Light for damages to his property and he won. So needless to say, I went with his recommendation. Regarding my own case, the representation I received from Lupetin & Unatin was superb. I filed my lawsuit at the beginning of 2022 and they diligently gathered all the information needed to settle the case for me and my son. It took some time, but the end of 2024, they were able to get us a reasonable settlement and they only charged 25%. Garrett Trettel was representing us and he treated our case with the utmost importance and urgency, being very transparent of the necessary steps that had to be taken along the way in order for us to cross the finish line. I can honestly say I am pleased and satisfied with the service I received from this law firm. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

Henry is an incredible lawyer; He will go above and beyond for his clients & truly cares about what is right. He is extremely knowledgeable and will take the time to explain details being upfront & honest, while taking into consideration your thoughts and concerns to find the best strategy and outcome. Henry is a tough negotiator and a natural in the courtroom. Our company would not be where it is today without him. I would not hesitate to contact Henry if we ever needed his expertise again & have full confidence in him. I highly recommend Henry and the Houston-Harbaugh Firm.

I have known Henry Sneath for over a decade and have worked with him as co-counsel on two lawsuits. He is a fantastic trial lawyer. If I have a case in the Pittsburgh or western Pennsylvania area, Henry is the first call I make in order to associate him as co-counsel. Working with Henry Sneath is a true pleasure.

Henry is a fantastic trial lawyer from start to end. Henry served as outside counsel for my company while I was Vice President and Associate General Counsel at Varian Medical Systems, in a very complex and difficult patent litigation in Pittsburgh, Pa. Henry was superb at initial case assessment and strategy, with a strong command of the facts and the law. Throughout the case, Henry’s intelligence and strong analytic and practical skills ensured we stayed on top of all strategic and procedural considerations. Henry is easy to work with – I could always have frank discussions of details and strategies. Even in very difficult discussions, I could count on Henry to listen to my input with complete confidence he’d always give me his honest assessment, such that we could always stay focused on the job at hand. Even with all the “sausage making” involved in a years-long IP litigation, Henry would never lose sight of the big picture. Henry is excellent at eliciting testimony and cross-examining witnesses. He has a natural questioning and argument style that goes over well with a jury. I wholeheartedly recommend Henry for IP and complex cases without reservation.

I experienced a personal injury, at a business, resulting in hospitalization- surgery-physical therapy and loss of work. I had no clue as to my rights, if any. I was referred to attorney Craig Frischman. After the initial phone consultation, I was completely confident with his direction and guidance. He is the consummate professional and made me feel as if my little case was as important as a major one. He was in constant contact every step of the way, went above and beyond to assure me and direct me. Craig was very understanding, supportive, knowledgeable and had my best interests in mind. He resolved my case in a very short period of time and got the best outcomes I could have ever imagined. He was extremely fair in all financial situations. I could not have had a better attorney! He is truly all that is good when you need someone to help you through these traumatic experiences. I will always refer him to anyone needing these types of legal services. The BEST!

Hello! My name is Clyde Manns. On may 5th 2023 I was in one of the worst accidents anyone would ever want to see. I was hit be a vehicle that ran the intersection. The impact of the vehicle colliding with me pushed me into on coming traffic on the other side of the road. I smashed into a barrier and pole and ultimately totaling my vehicle. Mr. Frischman went to work on my case right away. He kept me updated on everything that was going on in real time and a timely manner. He went above and beyond and I received a settlement that I wasn’t expecting. Needless to say I’m injury free now and very pleased with the work that he has done with getting the settlement for me. I highly recommend Mr. Frischman and Rizza for Attorney services that you may need. Thank you again for all your help, support, and hard work.

The local township filed legal documents to secure a large portion of our families property through eminent domain for a sewage plant. We immediately contacted Flaherty Fardo Rogel & Amick, LLC for their help. Noah Fardo was on the case immediately. He met with us explaining the law concerning eminent domain in detail, what to expect and what would be needed to stop any actions to seize the property. Phone calls were returned promptly, the case was worked regularly and timely updates were provided by Noah and his team. The entire matter was extremely stressful to us but Noah was confident and reassuring the eminent domain process would be stopped. Noah had a detailed action plan in place. His attention to detail, hiring of experts, diligently working the case resulting in winning the case meant everything to our family. Not only did he win the case for our family, but he also secured a reimbursement of a large portion of our legal fees from the township. Noah Fardo is professional, understands the clients concerns and needs, diligent in moving the case to closure and compassionate in dealing with how this case traumatized my senior mother. Our family highly recommends Noah Fardo of the Flaherty Fardo Rogel & Amick, LLC firm for your legal needs. We are so pleased this matter is now behind us. Thanks to Noah and his team!

Everything about our interactions was exceptionally professional. His practice includes a team of dedicated professionals and state of the art facilities. Scheduling of depositions, record retrieval, and video conferencing went conveniently and smoothly. This was the first time I needed a lawyer; I’m glad I met Noah.

I have been with the firm for about two years as my divorce is taking time due to the other party. I started off with one attorney and due to maternity leave, Bethany stepped in to get the process moving after my retainer was given. I was then assigned to Chrystal. She has explained everything well and took charge of my divorce. She won the APL for me. She answered every question I had timely. The outcome of the divorce with child support and alimony is fair, considering the laws. She will also work on my custody. To be truthful the divorce process is expensive (depending on your situation), but the experience that comes with the firm is worth the cost. The firm has been very workable and most importantly truthful with me.

3 years ago my son and I were involved in a car accident. My son’s grandfather referred me to Lupetin & Unatin for representation for the accident. His referral came highly regarded due to him having a case where he was sued Duquesne Light for damages to his property and he won. So needless to say, I went with his recommendation. Regarding my own case, the representation I received from Lupetin & Unatin was superb. I filed my lawsuit at the beginning of 2022 and they diligently gathered all the information needed to settle the case for me and my son. It took some time, but the end of 2024, they were able to get us a reasonable settlement and they only charged 25%. Garrett Trettel was representing us and he treated our case with the utmost importance and urgency, being very transparent of the necessary steps that had to be taken along the way in order for us to cross the finish line. I can honestly say I am pleased and satisfied with the service I received from this law firm. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

I used this firm a while ago for a car wreck and thet got me a great settlement. Recently I used them for a neck injury and they got me 1/10 of what I should have got. I was extremely disappointed and upset. I had to call numerous times to remind them I was a client and was waiting. I talked to some other firms after I received my settlement and they told me they could have gotten me a lot more money. I would rather use Edgar Snyder than these guys again what an insult the amount of money I got for a neck injury. These guys are a joke now.

I was hit by a car on November 16, 2023, and it’s been a long road to recovery. Through a friend, I was recommended to Brendan Lupetin, Greg Unatin, and their associate Garrett Trettel. They were there for me every step of the way, guiding me when I didn’t know what to do and answering my questions pretty much anytime—day or night. They worked hard to get me the best results possible and even reduced some of their fees to help me. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was going to file bankruptcy and was told I had to pay them $1,500 upfront, that was fine and I paid. I had other things come up that were not so good so I did tell them to hold off on processing papers. At this time nothing was done on their end, all I did was send papers in and they received them. I decided to not file for bankruptcy at this time. I reached out to them and let them know that and the first thing I was told was “no problem we will refund your money back”.. It has been over 4 months and i still have not received anything. I’ve called multiple times, I either cannot get ahold of anyone and nobody calls me back or I do get ahold of someone and they tell me they will find out what is going on but never do. I am disabled and have been waiting for my money back for months I think that is a ridiculous way to run a business you are supposed to have trust in. My advice is if you are going through hardships, and or need to file for bankruptcy please put your trust elsewhere!!!!

I was in a very bad situation and needed more help than just the Debt relief people. I wanted someone who I knew I could trust and that would not only help me but would give me support through the whole process. I knew Ken and his wife through a teaching job where I taught their 3 children. I knew Ken's reputation and Julie's. I knew I was in good hands because they knew me and my history. They gave me not only legal advice but also support throughout the entire process even into the court process which was very scary but with them behind me and their team I knew I was safe. Thanks again, Ken and your team.

She was very easy to get a hold of, answered in a timely manner, and was not over priced like other places I got quotes from. She did all the leg work for us and represented us in person without us needing to go. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney.

His response was prompt, and his promise to email more information was followed up almost immediately. Calls were returned and his explanations were clear. Further, the concern for our situation was clear with his attitude of kindness and understanding, and we are in his debt. We would again contact this attorney if the need again arose.

It was our first time seeking representation for a case and we were truly lucky in finding Greg U. While in the middle of a cross-country relocation, Greg U. assisted us from start to finish during and after our move. He showed a great level of attention, communication, personality, and accessibility. He was always a phone call or an email away. He listened and paid attention to our distress, and he fought to get us the best settlement we could get. Greg U. coordinated every step from explaining the case, presenting our options, sorting out paperwork, guiding and counseling us through all of it. Professional yet amicable, Greg U. made this experience an easy one for us.

I am so happy with my settlement that Tom and Hal got for me. After our accident, I had no idea where to go for help. I had never been in an accident before and had only dealt with an insurance company to buy insurance. I felt like dealing with the medical bills and paperwork was a full time job. When the insurance company insisted that I take a very low settlement for my injuries, a friend suggest I look into hiring a lawyer. I am so glad I did. I got paid for my lost wages, pain and suffering, medical bills and more. Tom and Hal answered the phone anytime I called. Everyone at the office is so kind and helpful.

David Paul is not only an outstanding attorney, he is truly an exemplary human being. He is genuine and sincere, and his focus, diligence and commitment to his clients is unwavering. He treats others with the utmost courtesy and respect. Speaking firsthand of my experience as a client of David Paul, there has not been a moment when I doubted his expertise nor his ability to bring my case to a success. The pain, suffering, and downhill spiral my life took after having surgery, has been and continues to be a tremendous challenge for me and my family. While it is certainly clear that when one is seeking the advice of an attorney, the client is already undergoing an incredible amount of stress due to their current situation. One must choose wisely, when seeking the assistance and guidance of someone who is knowledgeable, discerning, professional, and respectful of justice and truth. David Paul and partners Josh Berger and Paul Lagnese of Berger and Lagnese work very hard for their clients and I cannot say enough positive words about David Paul and Berger and Lagnese.

I hired Atty. Gordon to help me re-negotiate my divorce case. I came to him with an existing divorce agreement that was settled without representation. Needless to say he had his work cut out for him. He did a wonderful job of explaining where the issues were and where we had room to negotiate. I felt very comfortable with his advice every step of the way. Divorce is a very stressful time in anyone's life and having someone like Atty. Gordon to calmly guide you along the way is priceless. I feel that he could've gouged me with excessive charges but he remained fair throughout the entire process.

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.
