My first experience with a lawsuit was made more than bearable with John Chilson and Jarod Koenig as counsel. They made my case personal and not just a business transaction. If I could do it over, I would choose Comerford, Chilson & Moser every single time!!

We chose Comerford Chilson & Moser law firm because they were recommended by a highly reputable attorney in our area. We not only found them to be the most knowledgeable, diligent, and professional law firm, we found them to be caring, concerned, and sympathetic to what our family had experienced. They led us through the entire legal process with ease and we had a better outcome than we could have imagined. John Chilson and Jared Koenig became like family during our time with them. Comerford, Chilson, and Moser's reputation for excellence is well-known among opposing legal teams."

This is the only experience with a lawyer I have ever had and I cant imagine having a more knowledgeable and caring attorney then JK Moser
When our legal journey started I was not sure if we had a case. I just wanted someone to talk to and its seemed like a lot of the other law offices I called did not want to talk, just for me to submit an email to them to review. That changed when I contacted Comerford Chilson and Moser.
My attorney ended up being JK Moser and that was truly a blessing. Despite it not being an ideal circumstance for my family, JK over the course of our case worked tirelessly for me, my wife, and children. JK kept us constantly updated with what was going on with our case. He always made me feel like he was not only fighting for the best resolution for my children and I, but also to preserve the legacy of my wife. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you or a loved one then I can’t think of better hands for you to be in.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Lew and from the very beginning of our communication he was very receptive, attentive and knowledgeable. He guided me through my naturalization process seamlessly. Today I am a U.S Citizen.
I recommend him to everyone who is looking for an attorney to guide them through their case. Thanks to this law firm.

Writing this review because of the unacceptable and costly administrative errors made during the handling of my case. Egregious errors include the attorney failing to prepare any argument points for negotiation, blaming his performance on his failing memory, double billing for hours already paid for, and ultimately *losing my settlement check* within his own office. He billed me for time he spent looking for the check he had misplaced, and withdrew funds from my settlement check without permission or providing a bill for services. I know these administrative errors are atypical for law firms. Unfortunately, I made a poor choice in choosing this firm to represent me.

I’ve been dealing with this law firm since October I had a work incident to where my finger got cut off I called the law firm and Ambria was assigned to me not knowing she is just a receptionist and not a lawyer, she not only doesn’t answer phone calls nor text messages but also played as if she was my lawyer, I couldn’t get my prescriptions nor was I receiving my correct pay from worker’s compensation, I kept calling and leaving voicemails because every time I call it goes to voicemail then one day I was told my lawyer would be Tammy then Shannon, however Shannon called me and was highly disrespectful to me even hung up in my face with all that they still wanted 25 percent of a settlement that I never received, I strongly urge people not to use this law firm for anything, you get the run around, you don’t get all your wages, plus you get disrespected just for calling because you have a receptionist that’s trying to play as a lawyer I should file a lawsuit against them for Emotional Distress

We chose the law offices of Lewis and Keller. Leah Keller handled our case and went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of from start to finish. She and her assistant Samantha exceeded all of our expectations and helped us move forward after going though a traumatic accident. Highly recommend if your looking for someone to fight for you and your case. Forever grateful for their strength and support.

Dr. Rawlings is a greedy, unprofessional, and untrustworthy attorney who should be avoided at all costs. He strung our family along for well over a year as we paid thousands of dollars in an attempt to hold a surgeon accountable for harm done to our young daughter. During this saga, Dr. Rawlings wasrarely available to talk to us unless we owed him money. We paid thousands for a "demand letter" which was poorly written and littered with typos. We then paid thousands more to an expert witness Dr. Rawlings found who essentially took our money and ran. We then paid thousands more to find another expert witness willing to help us, but then Dr. Rawlings expected our family to pay 100% of the costs of litigation on top of a multi thousand dollar retainer fee AND a 40% contingency fee. When respectfully pressed on this arrangement, Dr. Rawlings promptly terminated his firm's relationship with our family. Dr. Rawlings looks out for one person and one person only - himself. If you or a family member have been injured and are in need of a compassionate and professional attorney to help, you would be wise to look elsewhere.

Dr. Rawlings has been very good to work with regarding a possible malpractice claim. Being an MD he understands medicine and how best to fairly represent my case. I highly recommend him!

Rawlings agreed to consultation re my surgical injury after I posted on the Bar's matching service. During what was supposed to be a 30 minute consult (actually he only gave me 15), he all but said that my case was very strong. No excuse for the level of injury I had suffered during a routine surgery, he said. I was so encouraged and thus eager to proceed.
Turns out, he wanted $1000 (on top of the 52 paid for initial consult) to "read medical records." I delivered these to him (which I have since learned is not how most lawyers do this - THEY get your records and work on contingency), paid him, and after he failed to appear for our follow-up appt to discuss his findings, he finally called 3 weeks later to say, too bad, no case. Why? Because I should have known the complications of this surgery, he said, and besides, I had signed a consent form.
If this is what the case hinged on, why didn't he ask me up front if I'd signed one? Why did he even need to read my records?
To add insult to injury, he mailed my records back with a letter saying that after his careful consideration, "[my] mother's case" wouldn't stand! He didn't even know who was injured.
$1050 for nothing.

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.
- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
