David Mazie, in my opinion, is the best Attorney in the Country. Although he is well versed in legal knowledge, he dealt with our family with the utmost compassion and respect. Without being too specific, our case was nine years old when presented to him. He tirelessly worked around the clock with his firm, sometimes meeting or calling us after hours or on weekends. He takes his cases personally, so, he is very selective with his law partners and other professionals he brings into every case. You would really think that a lawyer of his stature wouldn't be pleasant to work with, but our family found him very personable and he can relate to people from all walks of life. We prayed for a top notch Attorney like Atty. Mazie and our prayers were answered. We had spoken with other lawyers but none were as professional and dedicated to our case than David Mazie. Our long and drawn out law suit was wrapped up by Mr. Mazie with amazing speed It only took him two years to research and finally try our case, which we won !!
To get the best results for his clients, he only works with the best - that's it! That's his secret, if any at all. He brought in professionals from different states who are all at the top of their field. We know that this is more expensive to do but Atty Mazie is so confident in winning that he stops at nothing to give his clients more than a fair chance should there be a trial. He uses the latest technology in and out of the courtroom. An example of this is that he brought in computer graphics specialists to reenact the specifics of the case so that the jury could fully understand the details of the case.
Please look no further for an Attorney. DAVID MAZIE IS THE BEST LAWYER!. What more do you need to contact him? Be fortunate if he takes your case, because you know you are in good hands with a top notch and well respected lawyer.
Good Luck !!

Mr. Mendolsohn was always responsive to my every inquiry in our auto accident lawsuit. He explained each step of the process and negotiated the settlement we hoped to get. He did not look to avoid trial and gave me honest, straightforward information to help guide my decisions. It was a pleasure working with him.

I cannot say better things about Eric Melzer and the team at BLKGG. I was introduced to Eric when he called to renew a trademark for a nonprofit I became the new President for. I had no prior relationship or referral/connection with him so I was a little hesitant at first, and almost had another attorney that I have worked with handle the trademark renewal. I figured I would give Eric a shot since he was the original attorney to handle the trademark, and it was the best decision I ever made.
Seven years later, Eric now handles all my legal matters for my businesses, and any other personal matters, and I have never been happier. He is sharp, concise, efficient, and tactfully aggressive when needed against an adversary.
Eric has always done the right thing for me and when something falls out of his expertise, he introduces me to someone in his firm that specializes in exactly what I need.

To Whom is May Concern,
In February of 2023 I was hospitalized as a result of a serious accident that required months of
rehabilitation as well as surgery. While hospitalized, I contacted the Starr, Gern, Davidson &
Rubin law firm for legal representation. The firm had successfully represented my mother in a
legal matter several years earlier. David Wendel was assigned as my personal injury attorney.
David asked very pertinent questions involving the accident. He also made very helpful
recommendations concerning medical treatment and rehabilitation specialists that would assist
in my recovery. I followed his advice and the medical specialists that he recommended helped
me make a complete recovery. David also intervened with medical insurance companies
whenever coverage issues arose. He is very personable and easy to converse with. He also
kept me informed of any important developments in the legal proceedings.
I consider myself fortunate to have had David Wendel as my legal advocate. I highly
recommend David to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. In addition, the financial
award that I received as a result of his efforts far exceeded my expectations.
Sincerely
M. Lemon
Cedar Grove, New Jersey

Do not support this firm. Specifically, do not use Cynthia Matheke. Completely unethical lawyer who fails to pay her expert witness despite hours of work, including a deposition. Refuses to respond to inquiries, dodges certified mail, and is never around when called.
Stay far far away!
If this is how she treats people on her “team,” imagine how she’ll treat you.
Run, don’t walk away.

Very satisfied with Mr. Adam Slater as my attorney on a big case. Mr. Slater (AND his firm) was more communicative than any other attorney that I had ever encountered. Mr. Slater returned calls, was thorough and he cared (really) I read a negative review here, however, I must strongly disagree! This guy is definitely the best.

I called this lawyer because of a similar case they had handled before, and I had the same medical issue. First he was very rude and patronizing. And then gave his own diagnosis that I was almost blind before my corrective eye surgery so I should not be suing the Doctor and that LASIK was not perfect ( I was not complaining about my actual power of my glasses after surgery the problem is I am not able to use my eyes and focus on computer or read a book as it causes extreme pain and migraines and I can not lead a normal life). I called him after consulting two ophthalmologists and further I already had an appointment with a doctor who specializes with complications after LASIK (So the issue was complication after LASIK procedure not that my vision was not better after the surgery, I would not have had the severe debilitating complications if the doctor had done the traditional PRK surgery for me instead of LASIK but alas!! he seemed he knew everything and said I should be happy I got a good result. I am living with Photophobia (wearing sunglasses even indoors, and migraines almost everyday and he calls this good result!)
He had no patience to listen to what I was saying and interjecting his own personal opinion. For instance I mentioned only one time the doctor's name in our conversation - for that he said I was obsessed with my doctor!! I only mentioned his name because the practice had several doctors and I mentioned who it was that did my surgery.
He had problems from get go about every thing I said first he said I had a thick accent (I have been teaching for 20 years no student or colleague of mine has ever told me they can not understand me because of my accent). Then he said I was cutting him off ( in fact he was cutting me off and mansplaining!). He also took my DOB info which was weird since I had not even hired him. (now I am worried what he is doing with that info).
I was so upset after talking to him that I called the receptionist and told her someone in his firm has to know how rude and condescending he was even though I realize nothing would be done about it.
I totally understand if he had told me he will not take my case, but the way he was so rude and condescending is beyond me.

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.
- 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.

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.

- 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.

- 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. -

Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -

- 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.
