Feinberg Myers, PC not only was Zachary Myers very responsive during the period leading up to my case, he listened to the issues I was having understood me, handled me with compassion and empathy and used that to get me 3xs what I expected to settle for. He and Judy Feinberg are the absolute best at what they do and I would recommend anyone who has a civil litigation issues to come here! I was handled with care, compassion, professionalism!! I am so happy with the outcome of my case !! I can’t thank them enough !!! You have a client for life (hopefully I don’t need them again) I had friends telling me to hurry and settle my case, as I wouldn’t be getting anything spectacular even though I was still hurt and in constant pain!!! Zachary convinced me to stay the course (not that it was long, just that I got impatient) and I am so glad I listened !!! This lawyer knew best!!! You are in great hands!! Thank you!! Thank you !!! I had given up on professionalism and customer service and your renewed my outlook, not to mention my settlement!

I was searching for a personal injury lawyer to represent me after being hit by a car in March 2020. I found Mr. Myers through a mutual friend. He and his staff were very professional throughout the process and their communication was very transparent,. They allowed me to focus on recovering from my accident, while they handled the paperwork and negotiations with the insurance companies. In the end, I ended up with what I thought was a very fair settlement. Would definitely recommend this firm if you need a personal injury lawyer in the DMV area.

I couldn't have asked for or found a better law firm and lawyer after being in a rear end collision. They were unbelievably professional and diligent while making sure that I was taken care of. Finding professional, comfortable, and diligence at a high stress time was a relief.

After being denied assistance from another law firm I thought my case was a lost cause. After speaking with Feinberg Myers PC, they assured me this was not the case. They confirmed they would do everything possible to get my health better. From the very beginning, it felt like Feinberg Myers PC, were with me in each step, from making appointments for Physical therapy doctors, to making appointments with the best surgeons, in DC.
As time went on, not once did I feel left out, or abandoned. The most impressive action was how they were able to negotiate the health bills to significant minimum. Against all the odds, Judy and Zachary did their best to fight for reductions and came out on top.
I have recommended them in the past, and will continue on doing so. Without them, my life would not have been the same, both financially, and health.
Thank you.

We asked Shulman Rogers to set up an LLC for us. We got a pre-estimate, it was reasonable at $2000, so we paid the $2k retainer and contracted with them to do the work. During a meeting, we asked a question about placing a piece of property we owned in Washington, DC as a Sole Proprietorship into the LLC. Our Shulman attorney team researched it, then told us "Don't do it, it will cost you so much more money at approximately $7,500." We took their advice and left the property out of the LLC. Imagine our surprise when we received the final bill from Shulman and it was several thousand dollars more than the "it will cost you so much more path" we didn't take! It totaled almost $10,000. Shulman had even added several hours for a Senior Partner at an outrageous rate ($724/hour), who had not worked on our case. We were able to get those hours removed, but all in all it was a losing venture for us. This reminded us of the old adage "a wolf in sheep's clothing." We will NEVER DO BUSINESS with this firm again and we recommend you go elsewhere when you need an attorney.

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.

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:

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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:
