I was referred to Mr.Cossio and have been thoroughly impressed with him. He has been the most dedicated to helping my case and handling everything for me so that I have very little to worry about while recovering from the car accident. He has made my case a priority which is hard to find from lawyers, I would definitely use him again If I need it.

Mr. Cossio has been very responsive right from the start of my first contact with him. He returns all of my phone calls and messages, and he has been very thorough in collecting information from me, and from doctor visits, etc. regarding my claim. I have been very pleased so far, and suspect that my claim will have a successful outcome.

Through many years of professional association, I became well acquainted with Noble Boykin. He enjoys the highest reputation in our profession. Approximately four years ago, I had the need of my own, personal attorney, and I was fortunate to be accepted as a client. My cases were very complicated and involoved a number of legal challenges, all of which Mr. Boykin addressed patiently, promptly, and competently. Litigaton was involved on a number of occasions; the results optained were extraordinary and totally satisfactory. During the course of his representation of me in these cases, I received totally unrelated personal injuries. Litigation was indicated and required. Once more, Noble Boykin provided me with the most excellent advice and representation, and I have recommended him to several close friends because of his professional ablility and compassion. He has earned the respect of his colleagues and peers, and his reputation within the entire legal community is unmatched. Noble deserves and possesses my total confidence; he is a very fine and highly professional advocate.

Andre was the main reason my experience with Jamie Casino was so top notch and why the process felt a lot more smooth than it would have been normal. Andre is the definition of an outstanding representative for customers. He is absolutely stunning at his job and went above and beyond to make sure I was knowledgeable and up to date with my lawsuit. Not only is Andre a great employee but he is a kind and caring person that helps you feel secure. Alex Salizilo helped settle my case for a nice sum and was attentative and responsive to the questions that I had even though they were numerous at times. Thank you for the nice work on my case everyone at Jamie Casino Injury Attorneys!

5 star review for 5 star legal assistance. Mr Brooks and staff were always professional and tenacious throughout our legal battle with an insurance giant. He came highly recommended by another, husband/wife team of Savannah attorneys, and we were never disappointed by our decision. His thorough defense of our difficult case, set a precedence, admittedly, by the insurance company we sued for denying our claim. Our claim, on a total loss of our century plus, totally renovated farmhouse, was denied. This after being a 35 year FB member, with only one small claim in all the years of membership and no personal history to justify the treatment we received. Gene and his team dug in and compiled an exhaustive amount of evidence to substantiate our claims and won! This all from a single, small, firm with a Big commitment to delivering a settlement that was hard won. We will always be grateful for the representation we received. His charming office in downtown Savannah is conveniently located and has plentiful parking directly across from the office.

I am extremely grateful for the outstanding service I received from Farrah and Farrah. Miss Glory Paul, in particular, was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the beginning, she handled my case with the utmost professionalism, making sure every detail was thoroughly addressed. Her kindness and genuine concern for my well-being made me feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. Miss Paul stayed on top of my case, ensuring that I received everything I was rightfully owed, and she always kept me informed of any updates or changes. Farrah and Farrah exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of expert legal representation. They are not only knowledgeable but also deeply committed to their clients’ needs. If you are looking for a legal team that genuinely cares and will fight for you, look no further than Farrah and Farrah. Arniece Johnson

Writing another review this time with PROOF (photos) that I was indeed a client with this firm. It’s astonishing the extreme businesses will go to save themselves instead of looking into the matters that caused the issue. These are the text and email I received literally the next morning after writing my initial review which was (CHIN CHIN) from my other email. Asking about MONEY and nothing about my case doesn’t sound kind of suspect to you? Like I also stated I “intentionally stopped paying them after no call back after numerous attempts to speak with Mr Cronk regarding a follow up) Times are not the easiest these days and I don’t have money to throw away! I am done after this review and will not put anymore energy into going back and forth. The proof is right in front ya’lls face. Like I stated the most high see’s what these people are doing I don’t have to do a thing because I’m speaking the truth! Blocking google from sending me email about them responding I can care less about what they write after this complete liars!!

Zero stars if I had the option. This firm is extremely UNPROFESSIONAL! I initially called because of a google referral and was excited due to them offering installment options. They were quick to take my deposit down payment and after never returned any of my follow up calls all which I left with the person answering the phones. I had a warrant that I desperately wanted lifted off of my back and I’ve called several times (my call log doesn’t lie) only to return nothing! This was concerning for me due to the fact it was a no release warrant and if I couldn’t get in touch with my so called attorney that was a major red flag for me in order to move forward. They had no problem snagging my first weeks payment out of my account though and immediately after that I stopped paying simply because I DID NOT SIGN UP TO DONATE TO A CHARITY!! This was business! Imagine I had turned myself in only to not have contact with the attorney I hired what a nightmare would that be. I get they maybe putting full paying clients before ones paying installments however at least return calls because technically after signing legal documents we are now in contract doing business! There you have it! Full and truthful as it can be. They might respond to this review trying to deny the truth but just know God see’s and knows. Even until this day I haven’t received a call back from them. I’ve never had to hire a lawyer before so I’m not sure if this is the norm but it’s just weird that they don’t even attempt to follow up. Tells me everything I need to know. $625 down the drain with absolutely NO service! Almost seems like a SCAM!!!

I wanted to express my deepest appreciation for the work that Oliver Maner LLP did regarding the legal action taken against me. This action involved a high-profile case, with national news coverage. Mr. Pat O'Connor and the other talented attorneys of the firm addressed the case filed against me in a professional manner with constant follow-up. The team was very thoughtful and expressed a deep concern concerning the situation I was facing. The team made me feel comfortable, explaining the legal demands and responses required. The expertise offered by Mr. O'Connor and his associates is among the best I have ever worked with. I have been involved in the legal system since 1983, working in public safety. Mr. O'Connor takes time to explain the course of action, outcomes, and avenues to address the situation. The follow-up on questions and timely reporting of action helped to alleviate the normal stress filled period. I would, without hesitation, recommend the services of Oliver Maner LLP and Mr. Pat O'Connor and the other attorneys at the firm.

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.
