Mr Yanchuck was accepted to the bar 1968. He has a few years experience!!
I hired Mr Yanchuck late December 2016 a personal injury case.
I immediately felt comfortable and secure.
A brilliant, charismatic, compassionate, funny man. He has experience in criminal, personal injury, medical malpractice.
I felt I was his only client. I was amazed of his ability to handle as many clients he actually had.
His staff has excellent communication skills, I was always able to speak with Joel if he was in the office, if not a paralegal knowledgeable regarding my case.
I cannot speak more highly of Mr Yanchuck. I would and will recommend
Him. Regards

I am a Madeira Beach-based attorney, who hired Joel and his team of attorneys to help with a personal injury case. Joel and his staff were so professional and efficient, they helped the case go very smoothly. Joel has extensive experience both as an assistant prosecutor, and in private practice, which gives him a thorough understanding of the entire trial court process. He is also well-versed in medical malpractice, and keeps up with the latest trends in medical malpractice law. From your first conversation with Joel, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner. Information I requested about the process was promptly forwarded. And there was never a complaint from his staff. They were always courteous and attentive, making me feel that my case was the only one being handled by the firm, when in reality I was likely one of hundreds of clients. Joel Yanchuck has gained a reputation as the “go-to” attorney for personal injury cases. Be warned: Once your case has been settled, you’ll likely still continue to hear from Joel. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. Thank you Joel.

I was involved in a car accident that left me in a wheelchair, unable to work and worried how I was going to deal with everything that was happening. A friend recommended Mrs. Kravitz and said she would handle my case and help me figure out the myriad of worries I had.
I met Jovita and was immediately impressed with her professionalism. Equally important to me I was simply impressed with her as a person. I suppose any attorney is capable of doing the legal side; I was worried about being treated as another number by an attorney. With Jovita that was nor ever has been the case. She was empathetic as well as knowledgeable which personally was important to me.
My case settled in what I felt was a timely fashion all things considered. Additionally, I was happy with the settlement Jovita was able to obtain for me. Further, even though I'm no longer her client she took the time to follow up and ask how I was doing after recovering from my injuries. That gesture was greatly appreciated.
I hope I never again need the services of an attorney but if I do I would hire Jovita again without hesitation.

Jovita Kravitz handled our case with personal care and attention. When my husband was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle, not only did we have to deal with and worry about his recovery and the intensity of his injuries but to top it all off the driver of the car was irate, unreasonable and just downright rude. Jovita was professional, prompt and courteous. But beyond that she was sensitive to the emotional turmoil my husband and I were both in and handle her case with care as well as speed. We highly recommend Jovita and have since referred her to numerous friends and family members who ever all had excellent experiences using her legal services.

I retained the services of the Kravitz Law Firm as the Personal Representative for a family member. From the first visit with Jovita, I was impressed with the amount of time she spent with us, knowledge of the numerous legal issues at hand, and the level of compassion she showed to and for our loved one. At a time in which we were dealing with great sadness, grief, numerous medical situations, and of course raw emotions, Jovita was patient, walked us through the process every step of the way, and answered our numerous questions and concerns. Jovita and the Kravitz Law Firm communicated with us in a timely manner and provided a level of personal care and legal background that was much appreciated. Our case was well represented with powerful expert witness testimony and effective research. Jovita was extremely knowledgeable in the many facets of our case and defended our loved one in truth. She was determined in defending our case and her defense of our loved one commanded attention due to her effective delivery. Justice prevailed for our loved one and I am grateful to Jovita and the Kravitz Law Firm for their patience, diligent work, and their personal support of our case.

Mr. Bowen mediated a complicated and contentious lawsuit that I was involved in. After mediating for more than 5 hours, and almost giving up a couple of times, the case settled. Mr. Bowen was patient, persistent, and kept us focused on the important issues. He is a true professional and I highly recommend him as a mediator.

Attorney Bowen represented me 3 years ago when I was in a car accident, He did an amazing job and although I am sure he had many other cases treated me and my case as if I and my case were his most important. This is something you just don't seem find much of anymore. I recommended him to a friend of mine and now He's currently helping ahim with an insurance dispute. In my opinion, He's a great lawyer and I highly recommend him".

Three years ago I was hit by a drunk driver. The insurance company was not helping me and just gave me the run around. Ken did a great job handling my case. It was such a relief to not have to worry about all the hospital bills and be able to focus on healing.

Our family worked with the team from Emerson Straw for almost seven years as we awaited our trial. Throughout the long journey, their team proved to be shrewd, professional, and deeply compassionate to our family's circumstances. We couldn’t have asked for a better legal team to guide us through such a stressful process. They were truly exceptional! We highly recommend their services to anyone in need of dedicated legal support.

Car accidents are never easy to deal with and regardless of who is at fault can result in life-changing catastrophes and financial burdens for all parties involved. The attorneys and paralegals at Emerson Straw handled all my concerns with professionalism, privacy and communicated frequently throughout the entire process. I was never left wondering what was happening and they explained each step of the litigation process in detail to ensure I remained well informed. Without having prior knowledge or understanding legal jargon, the Emerson Straw team never made me feel inadequate or incompetent. They scrutinized and resolved every collection to ensure my credit would not be negatively impacted in the future. I did not have to communicate with insurance companies or collection agencies, they took representing to a whole new level. From my initial online inquiry to final closing, I was impressed at how this team really worked together. They have set the bar extremely high for legal representation.

First of all, I would really like to say thank yu to Donnie. He has helped me in more ways than one, because of Mr. Kilfin's hard work I will remain a free man and still have a clean record!! As any of you know that peace of mind is priceless.
Donnie was more than an exceptional lawyer practicing at the top of his profession. He consistently went above and beyond in all aspects of handling my case. He personally kept me informed of how my case was evolving. Always calling me himself with updates often on the weekend. Donnie was always reachable by cell for any advisement or questions that I had.
Without a doubt Donnie was a blessing. He represented a family member a decade ago and got his case dismissed, so when I needed to retain an attorney my parents knew just who to call. In fact, other attorneys I spoke with thought I was done for but Donnie was confident from the get go that he could get my case dropped.
Do yourself a favor and sit down with Donnie Kilfin for a consultation regarding your circumstances. You will not regret it. I pray I never need his services again but if I do I wouldn't use any other criminal attorney. Donnie has earned my respect and appreciation. He is the GOAT in my opinion.

Donnie made me feel comfortable, and welcome from the moment I shook his hand. Upon meeting him in his office, I was blown away by his knowledge, and confidence in his criminal legal defense system. His effectiveness, and reliability are second to none. He formulated a plan, put it into action, and made everything happen that we had discussed. You can not put a price on freedom, this is for sure. His dedication and hard work made me feel as if he was working on a case for his own family members. Needless to say, I trust him enough to call him my brother. If you need a criminal defense attorney, look no further, this is your law firm!

Rohom possesses knowledge, a high EQ, and a drive towards outcomes... combine that with ethics and integrity and you have the perfect attorney - and dare I say a priceless one.
We were able to come to resolutions probably faster than some others in my situation, because of Rohom's ability to work well and sensibly with all parties (it certainly helped that all parties were genuinely interested in reaching a resolution).
He and April are responsive and their availability matches the urgency. That my situation wasn't urgent at all and we still managed to get things resolved in a short period of time is a blessing.
Rohom is a treasure - and for that I would be judicious in my recommendations as he deserves to work with mature, fair, and reasonable clients.

I had a very time sensitive issue I had to deal with. In my quick research, Rick had Jenna call me back within a 1/2 hour. She instantly had an excellent plan to propose, which separated her from the rest of those I contacted. Not only this, but her compassion regarding this unique situation and commitment to help sort everything out as a result was very much appreciated during a difficult and scary time. Jenna was very relatable, professional and gave regular updates. She went above and beyond, ensuring we received the answers we needed in a timely manner. She had everything sorted within weeks despite some obstacles out of our control. I am thrilled I was put in touch with her as I don't think this could have been handled any better. Definitely hire this power couple!

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.
