I was hesitant to hire a lawyer after being in a car accident, but I was also confused and felt like I wasn’t being dealt with fairly by the insurance company. In hiring Anthony
Segura, he explained things so I could understand them and dealt with the insurance company so I didn’t have to. He truly made the process so much easier and less stressful. His knowledge, kindness and professionalism made me feel confident that he had my best interests at heart. I was very pleased with how things ended up and would definitely recommend hiring this firm.

I was involved in an accident in 2021 in which another vehicle ran the stop light and crashed into me. The result was injury to back that resulted in therapy. I contacted Mr. Thompson and After talking with him, I retained him to handle my case. For two years he worked diligently with this case, never tiring or giving up even when I felt like it. He gathered all the necessary information, followed up on anything that came into his office and ultimately when we had to go to court, he helped me ease my anxiety of court and prepare myself.
I was always aware of anything he was doing, any persons he was interviewing and was always keeping my wishes first. Mr. Thompson is a humble man, very kind and polite, but knows his job and does it very professionally. Thank you Mr Thompson for you did for me...God bless you

My experience with having Lauren Ellerman represent me in a motorcycle injury case against an insurance company that is correctly represented by a lizard, was nothing less than spectacular. She worked diligently to get the best settlement possible so that I could pay my medical bills. She always kept me informed during the entire process and communicated very well. She was always very pleasant on the phone and in correspondence and that beautiful smile in her photo is always in place in person. This was without a doubt the best attorney that I have ever had the pleasure to work with and I would strongly recommend her to anyone in need of the services that she offers. She went above and beyond normal expectations when working for me. She is the consummate professional.

It is with a grateful heart that I write this attribute to a woman who has been there through thick and thin for my family, and showed us that it is not as stressful a situation we were anticipating. Bettina Altizer, of Altizer Law, PC came to me as a result of just searching for an attorney to assist us with a wrongful death situation way back in 1998. We were in turmoil after the stressful death of my mother in law, and we were so very confused. It was not that we wanted a windfall, that could never replace Mom. It was because of the situation that the person in question was still allowed to possibly hurt others.
Well, Bettina understood and fully invested herself, heart and soul, to help us feel that justice would be done. Bettina helped us feel better about this legal matter, and did everything she could possibly do to make it less painful in each and every way, ways that we never even imagined.
All calls were taken immediately, or we were called back within a very short time frame, every step of the way we were kept informed of the process and what to expect in the near future. Bettina also let us know that we were not bad people for doing what we felt was the right thing to do.
Eventually, the case settled, and the ability to prevent future misconduct to someone else was totally satisfied. We felt vindicated that we received the justice we were seeking, and the comfort and care of Bettina and her office staff made us feel as if we were with family the entire time.
My heartfelt appreciation has never wavered, and yes, there was a subsequent situation we sought her assistance for in 2008, a personal injury situation. We received all of the same care as the initial situation, nothing changed, and we were treated like family. If I ever need an attorney, Bettina Altizer is the one, no question.
I thank God for directing me to her initially. If you are looking for someone who is in the legal arena for the right reasons, I recommend Bettina Altizer with every inch of my being and wish you the best in whatever your situation is.

As a past client, I was very impressed with the professionalism, team support of the entire staff, meetings with Bettina Altizer to update me on my case and then to review in detail the final outcome. I have consulted with Bettina Altizer on other legal matters as I trust her opinion and counsel.

I had a serious health issues after a dramatic car wreck that happened to meat I-85 near High Point while I was moving back to Virginia.
My friend suggested that I call Devon Munro. I had some doubts if it’s gonna work but decided to give it a chance.
Never since that day have I had any regrets about taking that decision and hiring Devon Munro as my lawyer. He took care of everything I needed: from doctors who were helping me to recover my health to solving all possible problems with a truck company whose truck driver rear ended my car and never got any points on his driving record.
Devon is professional, dedicated and he really cares about his clients.

David Lawrence is a professional and takes his cases very seriously. I have used him twice in cases I had in Roanoke and Bedford and both times it went in my favor. He is a kind and gentle man but when it comes to court he is very serious. He takes your case to heart and fights with everything in his knowledge and experience to get you the best result possible. He will not let anyone walk on your rights and makes sure you are not treated unfairly. This man and his team worked miracles in my cases. Things happed that I never thought possible and to beat it all I never had to say a word. He went in there and owned the case and we walked out victorious. He and his team are top of the line in all their work. Very professional and never treat you as just another client. They really care about you and getting you the best outcome possible. They have a very reasonable payment plan that makes it easy for you to have him by your side in court. He and his team are just flawless

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

- 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.
