Family law can often be stressful but I believe I got the best experience thanks to my attorney's hard work and approachable nature. My Favian Valencia and his staff were extremely helpful through the entire process and when I didn't understand something, they were quick to explain the next steps so that I would not feel overwhelmed. Favian also got me benefits that I did not know I was entitled to. It was extremely helpful that he is fluent in Spanish and English so that when everyone sat down to talk, we did not need interpreters for my children. He is now helping me with a worker's compensation case and I have already seen great results.

Lara Herrmann is top notch and has earned my highest recommendation. She handled my case with such ease, and I was able to get the medical care that I needed. She can be very hands on, or in my case, I preferred to do everything over the phone and electronically. They were amazing, so on top of it and not once did I have to follow up with them to check on where they were at in the process. She will relieve you from many, many headaches and provide the advice you are seeking. I have already referred them two cases, and I plan to continue to send close friends and family their way.

I highly recommend Tyna Ek as defense counsel. In the past 20 years she has defended many complex litigated cases for my company. I can count on her to analyze the issues thoroughly and provide guidance on the best course of action. She gets great results in trial, if the case gets that far. Most of our cases have been resolved successfully prior to trial because of her excellent skills in the discovery & pre-trial process.

I have hired Ms. Ek on numerous, high-profile cases over the last twelve years with consistently outstanding results. She is cunning, strategic, prompt, articulate, and results-oriented. She either wins at every trial, or she gets the matter settled at or below my expectations, within cost.

Last year I started my private practice as a Naturopathic Physician. I felt incredibly overwhelmed by the legal side of setting up a medical practice. Max assisted me throughout this process, and I don’t know what I would have done without his guidance. He taught me what I didn’t know I needed to know in order to set up a successful practice. Max helped me write my consent forms and financial agreements, ensuring they clearly defined my role and the limitations of my scope as a licensed provider. Max is quick to respond to my questions and spends time not only researching the topics that arise, but takes the time to explain confusing concepts so that I feel more empowered in my choices. I recommend Max’s expertise to anyone seeking legal advice. He’s been an enormous asset in my business and I’m grateful to have him on my team.

When my husband was seriously injured on private property, we thought that the owner’s insurance company would work with us to fairly handle the injuries. We were wrong and quickly realized that we would need to hire an attorney to help. We hired Mark Johnson and Michael Sprangers to represent us. From the day we hired them, a huge burden was lifted from our shoulders. They guided us through the entire process, so we could focus on getting better and our lives (and not a lawsuit).

Mark represented me in a legal malpractice lawsuit. The attorney my husband and I had hired to help us with our wills and estate planning had, unbeknownst to us prior to my husband’s passing, created a real disaster. This resulted in a lawsuit between family members and was the absolute worst-case scenario I or anyone else wanted to go through, especially while dealing with my husband’s passing. I hired Mark to pursue a legal malpractice lawsuit against my previous estate attorney. Mark was so great. From the beginning he made the process understandable, and I always felt I was in great hands. Mark was always prepared, professional, and I cannot thank him enough for handling my case. I highly recommend him.

Attorney took the awesome approach of informing and educating my husband and I as her clients. She educated us of our rights as well as positioning us in the best way possible to get the most out of our case. S he took great initiative and anticipated our needs. Her communication style and frequency was appropriate and balanced - we always heard from her when we needed to. Once we retained her, she immediately began working on our behalf, freeing us from the need to speak with claim adjusters who were not working in our interest. She was a great negotiator and used her skills, experience, and influence to maximize our settlement.

Mercedes was amazing! It wasn’t a week before the person that hit me had the insurance adjuster out to my work to offer me money. I hadn’t even received treatment, all I wanted to do was feel better and be well. Unfortunately it took two years to get back to somewhat normal. With such a busy job, she took care of everything, requested all the necessary medical records, filed the right documents, I didn’t have to do a thing. Even after we settled on the amount, she was able to negotiate more with my PIP. When she sent me the email, my only comment was that’s great, it wasn’t expected. Hopefully I won’t go through this again, but if I do, I’ll hire her again.

I'm so glad we hired Dan to represent my father. He did an outstanding job under very difficult conditions.

Jonathan was assigned my case which was already in progress when assigned by my insurance company. He immediately familiarized himself with the case, quickly assessed previous efforts and decisions to resolve and made recommendations on how to proceed. It was a bit of a unique scenario, one that John himself indicated he had not seen previously, and throughout the entire process was communicative, professional, informational and assertive which in the end, worked out as favorably as possibly. I would recommend John if you're looking for representation that is assertive while maintaining professionalism, however maintains a no-nonsense demeanor in the pursuit of resolution.

Jonathan helped handle a case where the plaintiff was impacted in their car and sued myself and another car driver for damages. The results were the best that could be expected - very minimal damages on my part, and with only a couple appearances required of me. Mr. Missen showed decorum, poise, and a cheerful disposition during the entire process, which no doubt helped the results turn out as they did. He was knowledgeable without being pushy, and this came across in deposition and arbitration. I was pleased to have his support and skill in the case, and would want him on the case again if a similar situation arose.

After I was injured by a negligent doctor, I selected Ms. Morrow as my attorney because of her history as a competent lawyer and a Registered Nurse. It was wonderful to have an attorney who was knowledgeable in the medical aspects of my case; many of the attorneys I initially consulted with had to stop me to explain what certain terms meant, and that was incredibly frustrating for me. I never had this issue with Jane. In addition to her medical knowledge, Ms. Morrow had an instinctual and intellectual understanding of what to do at every turn in my case. She was always supportive and explained the legal things I did not understand without ever making me feel stupid or burdensome. I really believe that Ms. Morrow cares about her clients' long-term well being. How many lawyers can you truly say care about their clients as people, and not just as case statistics? In my case, for example, Ms. Morrow supported me in pursuing action against the hospital and doctor who negligently assaulted me; other attorneys I consulted early on wanted me to settle for as much money as possible as early as possible, even if it meant not pursuing action against the hosptial. Jane really listened to me and understood that I wanted, more than anything, to spread the word and prevent this person from hurting anyone else. She never made me feel pressured to come to a rapid monetary conclusion to the detriment of my personal goals. I cannot say enough about what a great attorney Jane Morrow and her cohorts are. If it is important to you that you connect with an attorney who listens to and supports a client through difficult times, who is knowledgeable about medicine in addition to law, and who is a generally good and caring person, you cannot go wrong with Jane Morrow. I am so greatful that I found her during the worst time in my life, and I cannot imagine what might have happened if I had been swayed to employ anyone else.

She knew things about medical billing, rental car reimbursement and negotiation tactics that I had know idea.

I interviewed 2 other attorneys, but I knew when I met David Richardson that he was the one I wanted to represent me I have also sent a friend to him & will continue to do this as he is terrific. When we went to mediation he drove way out of his way in the snow to pick me up. That meant he had to go from Seattle to Bellevue then back to Seattle, then brought me back home then he had to go back to Seattle where he lives. All this in the snow, I don't know anyone that would go way out of their way to do this for a client, it just speaks of his professional way of taking care of his client When ever I had a question he always got right back to me, never made me feel I was bothering him I will continue to send family & friends to David, he is the best!!

I do not write lightly when I say David B. Richardson is trustworthy, (highly) knowledgeable and an overachiever. His representation has helped me moved on with my life during the whole case proceeding. Please note I said I moved on with my life "during" and not after the case was closed. The stress and negativity from the beginning was lifted off from my shoulders. I did not have to worry if Item A was completed, if Item B was given notice, if Item C received X and so forth. My worries and sleepless nights ended when Mr. Richardson represented my family and I. He treated us with the utmost respect and always gave us his undivided attention. There were many hoops and hurdles, and although at times it was very stressful, David B. Richardson always assured my family and I that he has everything in control (and he did!). He never made us feel that our actions were limited. He did not ever hesitated to suggest different avenues to approach X, Y, and Z. He kept an opened mind and a positive attitude. We grew to know that Mr. Richardson has an extensive background of experience and valuable varieties of resources. I enjoyed working with Mr. Richardson. I am graciously thankful and grateful for his representation. If any other unforeseen events were to happen in my life, I know who to call. I profoundly recommend every single person who seeks for an attorney who is (but not limited to): well-respected, respectful, open-minded, an overachiever, courageous, intelligent, a mentor, understanding and detemined to fight for your rights and securing a meaningful recovery for yourself and family.

If you desire to have someone who will get the job done with finesse and top flight expertise then I would highly recommend Ms. Clark. In fact, I recommended her to a colleague just today. There are plenty of attorneys out there in the field, but you will find an unusual degree of personable support in working with Ms. Clark.

Medical complaints are a fact of life for any doctor and the only thing you can do is to make sure you are doing your best for your patients, following guidelines, and documenting everything. But more important is to have good and competent representation to show all the work you have done, otherwise nothing you do matters. Matt is the lawyer you need when these events happen. He evaluates the situation and pays attention to the information that you provide then comes up with a plan of action.

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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  6. Have you worked with expert witnesses?
    Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for your case.

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.

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.
