Great group of attorneys for the Treasure Coast! It's nothing like dealing with a huge firm where you never get to deal with the actual attorney. At LLG they know you by name and they care.

I am writing upon completion of my case where I have suffered injuries that, after less than two years, the EBERST & EBERST LAW FIRM has resolved my lawsuit in the most professional and satisfactory manner.
While I can only speak for myself, how overwhelming injuries too numerous to mention brought dark days concerning future abilities, the fact of the matter is that I recommend for any and all accident victims the EBERST team. Led by the extraordinary professionalism of Jon and Larry Eberst, from day one forward, were so efficient and effective in helping to resolve my case.
The apprehension of hiring the correct attorney/law firm disappeared thanks to the entire staff, especially legal eagles Lindsey and Karen, who were always so thorough with such detailed and optimistic professionalism. Any nightmarish moments throughout the often overwhelming tension-filled traumatic experience were erased thanks to the DREAM TEAM of EBERST & EBERST.
While every other law firm is busy inundating television with dramatic advertisements, EBERST & EBERST (who I learned are advertisement-free after obtaining the firm through word of mouth) was hard at work resolving my case; all the while setting an amazing first class professional benchmark for those to follow.
My deepest gratitude and thanks to Jon and Larry and the entire staff. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely, Bill

Extremely Unprofessional Service – Beware
I had a very frustrating experience with The Law Offices of John J. McGlynn III, specifically with the Title Agent, Shelley McGlynn. My ex-wife and I sold a house in Stuart as part of a Final Agreement, and Shelley was assigned as our Title Agent. From the very beginning, she was completely unprofessional , rude and showed no impartiality in handling the situation.
I was told I would receive a specific amount of money from the sale, but when I asked for clarification, Shelley was unable – or unwilling – to explain why this amount was different from what the judge had decided. I repeatedly asked for a breakdown or explanation, but she told me i was 10 minutes late and she couldn't answer. After several attempts to get clear communication, she started to request documentations.
Things took a turn for the worse when she refused to disburse the funds entirely, citing that my ex-wife had claimed I owed her money. Shelley didn’t even attempt to verify this claim or consider the terms of the Final Agreement. Instead, she just took my ex-wife's word as gospel, completely disregarding the judge's decision, which was clearly outlined in the agreement.
If Shelley had bothered to read and follow the Final Agreement and the judge's instructions, she could have handled this situation properly. Instead, her lack of professionalism and failure to perform her duties caused unnecessary delays and confusion. I would not trust this office or this Title Agent with any future transactions, and I strongly advise others to look elsewhere for legal or title services.

I came upon the office of John McGlynn by chance in search of a notary public and was in need of an estate attorney and tax preparer at the time and my wife and I decided to use their services, and we are extremely happy with that decision. The triad of legal services of real estate, estate planning and tax attorney offers a sensible combination of the more common legal services people require and John McGlynn’s reliable, consistent and trusted service has always satisfied us. If you are in need of a good attorney in any or all of these areas, I would highly recommend the Law Offices of John McGlynn III as they also handle business law if you really wanted to tie it all together with that new venture incorporation or business sale.

I had a great experience with this firm regarding a probate case. It’s a personable office with easy contact and quick response times. I feel it’s reasonably priced and everything was streamlined in a concise and efficient manner. Getting in office appointments was also flexible and straightforward. I have absolutely no complaints and look forward to setting up trusts and wills in the future. Thanks for all of the help!

I can not say enough good things about James he is so caring and compassionate and takes the time out to go over and explain things step-by-step with you. He always gets back to you, no matter what he took the time out to help me and my brother with a custody case. He is your go-to guy for sure he will not steer you in the wrong direction. The whole process is and can be lengthy and drawn out. Having the right guy on your team makes all the difference.

Would not recommend this law firm to anyone. I was told over a year ago that I would receive money for my dad's brother in the tobacco lawsuit case. I never received it. Finally, I received a call from Charles Scott 2 weeks ago that he was sending papers to sign. Still have not received anything, and no one will return my calls. This is not a way to treat clients nor a professional or legit law firm. Find someone else.

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.

Ensure you receive a clear explanation of all potential fees and expenses before proceeding with your case.

- 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.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
