I’m so grateful to have found Larry. He secured us a 7 figure settlement when no other lawyer would even take our case. It was an extremely sensitive and difficult matter to discuss but he helped us through it with great compassion. I’m so grateful for his expertise and professionalism. And I don’t think anyone could have fought harder for us

I recently had the experience of working with Larry on a medical malpractice case, and I must say, he exceeded all my expectations. Finding a good lawyer can be daunting, but Larry made the process much more manageable. One of the things I appreciated most about Larry was his communication. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and he made sure I understood each step of the legal process.
Larry was able to break down complex legal and medical jargon into terms I could understand. His professionalism in handling my case was evident from the start. He was thorough in his investigation and left no stone unturned.
He also understood the emotional and physical toll the situation had taken on me and was incredibly supportive throughout the process. I highly recommend this attorney!

When my dad passed away unexpectedly due to a wrongful death. I was so lost and my heart felt so heavy and painful. I kept on saying to myself that my dad will still be alive if this is not a wrongful death. Then I decided to go online to search and browse for malpractice attorneys to fight for justice. I have attorneys turned me away or by speaking to them on the phone, they make me feel very uncomfortable and more lost. Finally and luckily I found Mr. Larry Deutsch, just by talking to him on the phone for the first time, he made me feel so comfortable and understand what we be going on for a wrongful death case. Mr. Deutsch was knowledgeable, honest, trustworthy, courteous, patient, kind and most importantly, transparent and managed our expectations. When we had questions, he will made sure himself available to answer in person or over the phone. He kept my family and I informed and understand through the entire process.
It was a long process, but Mr. Deutsch's work helped us obtain justice for my dad’s wrongful death and a settlement. On behalf of my family, I will highly recommend Mr. Deutsch. Also Mr. Deutsch and his office were a pleasure to deal with during an overwhelming process. Thank you for your service and I would recommend him highly.

Horrible lawyer! Worst one I've ever worked with. I had a closing and he showed up an hour late to the closing. Everyone had to wait for him, in the end to save time the title company guy walked me through the papers because he was the only one who wasn't there. Then afterwards, the deed was sent to him and I called the office multiple times to get in contact with him since I wanted my deed to my apartment (i never even got a copy from him). I left multiple messages and never got a call back, I emailed multiple times and never got an email back. I still don't have my deed, so if you read this review Peter, I would like my deed sent to me promptly.

Ben Babcock was part of a team that represented me in a case that lasted almost a year. The case was resolved very satisfactorily -- due in no small part to the smart and diligent way in which Ben researched the case and then assembled and managed the relevant documentation. Ben asked me careful questions and listened, if possible, even more carefully to my answers. In his calm and thoughtful manner, Ben took me through some very difficult material--clarifying and substantiating facts of the case from my point of view and finding corroborating information that I would not have imagined possible to discover. I was very impressed.and could not have been more pleased with the work he did.

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.

- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
