CDH Law is an excellent firm to work with. David Hammond is not only a great attorney, but a nice person and individual. I would recommend working with this firm because they care about their clients and listen to each persons situation. The prices are more than fair. Not only did I gain a great attorney, but also a group of people I can now call my friends.

Kristen handled my case with extreme professionalism. I wish I had used her from the beginning of my case. I believe it would have been resolved sooner and would have had a more satisfactory ending. If I am ever in a situation where I needed legal advise or help I will definitely call Kristen!

I hired Kristen when I was attacked by a vicious dog while riding my bike, and she took my case seriously. She took all of the discomfort out of discussing the mental and physical effects of my injuries while maintaining a realistic stance regarding the valuation of my case, thus managing my expectations. I was impressed with her knowledge of the interworkings of insurance companies and her understanding of the negotiation process. Kristen is an aggressive advocate who knows how to get the most for her client without undermining the progress of the case. In other words, she has great instincts and is highly skilled. Furthermore, Kristen kept me informed and remained accessible throughout the entire process. I would recommend Kristen to anyone who wants a great result.

I had never had any situations in my life that required an attorney until I was a passenger in a motor vehicle accident. Kristen was referred to me by a friend who is also an attorney in her practice. Kristen not only made sure I was protected and compensated for my injuries, she treated me with great compassion and respect. She checked in on me regularly. She made sure that I sought second opinions and steered me down the right path, one that i was very unfamiliar with. Kristen asked questions that would have never occurred to me. Her communication was usually instant via email, text or phone. As a result of her expertise, I was compensated far beyond what I had expected. Kristen is an amazing attorney and made me feel extremely protected, treating me as a personal friend and not a case number. She is my regular attorney as a result and I am confident that her stellar experience will always take care of any legal issues I may have in the future with the same personal attention and expertise.

I have been working with Kevin for about 10-15 years. He always takes an aggressive approach to his defense work. He is also very professional and respectful and is able to provide the best defense to an insured in any situation. Kevin thinks outside the box in regards to defenses and injury causation's. Kevin is one of the best defense attorneys that I have worked with in the last 25 years.

Kevin is awesome. He answers his phone, responds to emails, has a great sense of value of cases, knows when plaintiffs are full of S&%*, and is an aggressive attorney who knows what the hell is going on with the cases at all times. He is a must use if you want your cases settled early or prior to trial. If you want a trial lawyer, he is your guy also. 5 Star can't miss! No wonder why he is a top 100 attorney!

Just wanted to Thank you for all your hard work on my case! I know it was a long tedious road! But! A special Thanks to Katie, she was such a doll! She always got right back to me in minutes if not seconds when I emailed her or left messages! And I never have gone thru anything like this before, so painful, and frustrating, she made it less painful! Im sure I was quite annoying too! With my million ?'s! Katie even helped answer some questions, when my SS lawyer, couldn't be bothered! When you get hurt at work it's so hard to know what to do , and it's so scary with the bills and medical, I'm here to tell you the first thing you should do is call David Snyder's Law Firm and his Very Understanding and Friendly Staff!
Thank You Again!

I have used multiple family law attorneys in the Syracuse area over the last 12 years and have had more stress and confusion than results. Within 15 minutes of my consultation with Megan Smith I knew she would make sure my voice was heard. If you are looking for an attorney who will prioritize your case, hold others accountable and keep attention to detail, I recommend using Ms. Smith!

All the quick reviews hit the nail on the head. I had the chance to work with Bill and his assistant Ellen for some traffic tickets and the closing on a new house. Ellen was super easy to reach and kept me in the loop the whole way. Bill is a classic, laid-back guy who's a blast to do business with. This Syracuse team is my go-to for anything in the future, and I highly recommend them to friends, family, and colleagues. Don't bother looking elsewhere; they've got you covered!

Some years ago, my husband and I approached attorney Michael Bottar, of Bottar and Leone, PLLC about taking on our medical malpractice case. We were distraught parents who had recently lost a child. Mike and his team agreed to help us during this fragile time.
It took a while for the case to progress because Mike was methodically picking apart all the evidence of the defendants’ mistakes and noncompliance.
The case was recently settled out of court to our satisfaction. We were grateful to preserve our privacy, but more so, grateful to Mike and his team for conducting an exhaustive, thorough investigation into the circumstances of our child’s death.
Our greatest hope was to help deter future negligence, so other families would not go through what we did. We feel victorious with this end.

My family was misrepresented by this firm. I would not recommend waisting your time with this firm. I'm not sure who they consult with about medical issues but they are wrong. Communication by this firm is also terrible. I advise if you have a medical issue do not let this firm hold your case hostage for half a decade.

Mike is super knowledgeable and is always on top of the case!

I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Mike and his team are without a doubt the best!

Good service - they take time to understand the details and workings of your idea. Professional writing above what an individual can likely produce on his/her own. But wildly expensive - would absolutely NOT recommend trying to get a patent (or even a Provisional Patent) when you're young. They quote you one amount and the overall price ends up being about twice what they estimate. If you're older and more established and actually have money, I recommend using this service

I would not waste your time going through Rudderow Law . They spent months after meeting with us only to look at half the records when the records they needed to look at the main reason for our case were not even requested or looked at when we asked repeatedly if they needed the records. Huge waste of time and when it was questioned they chose to ignore our email. Many other lawyers out there that will review all your records.

Very unprofessional , neither Greg or his assistant ever return emails or phone calls . We spoke to Beth on the phone several times , she could never answer a single question and had no idea what was going on with our case , she just kept saying she would pass the info along to Greg and they would get back to us . This never happened . This went on for 2 months before we finally called and told her to get our documents ready for us to pick up and we would be getting another attorney . Her only response was , okay I will have them ready . No apologies for disregarding us as clients or for their total lack of communication . Now after 2 months of sitting around waiting and having nothing done , we have to start over with another attorney . Terrible customer service , stay away from this law firm .

When my mother-in-law was hit by a car and severely injured, we reached out to these lawyers for help. IMHO they screwed my mother-in-law over royally. K&K got $50,000 for themselves (of which they were forced to return about $25,000) and mom got NOTHING! Not a penny. IMHO, you should run far, far away before getting these guys to do anything for you. Would be minus stars if I could.

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.
