My family first hired attorney Jennifer Lipinski to help us with a situation ultimately resulting in the death of my beloved father. Jennifer was with a different firm at the time, and we loved her immediately. When she switched firms, she offered us the option of staying with the original firm, or moving with her to Gordon & Doner. We stayed with Jennifer. She worked for years on our case, showing compassion and clear explanations through every step of the case. Gordon & Doner made a great decision when they hired her!

Jennifer was always very professional but compassionate. Anytime we had a question or just even a thought she never let us feel it was wasting her time. She is very positive and an amazing attorney.

He had all his ducks in a row and did exactly what he said he would do. He was equipped with an arsenal of contingency plans. I wasn't even called to the stand even though he prepared me for it. He was easy to talk to, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

Mr. Toppe was an efficient and responsive attorney. He was consistently on top of everything and was very knowledgeable of what needed to happen and the best approach to deal with the situations that arose during our interaction. At any point that I was asking about information he wasn't clear on he would quickly get back to me with an answer and clear details explaining the situation. I appreciate all his time and focus.

Filed a chapter 13 and the firm helped us through to the end. When my husband died this year 2020 and I was no longer able to make the monthly payments, they worked to get me a hardship discharge. I highly recommend this law firm. They saved my life literally, I didn’t know what I was going to do after the death of my husband.

I just wanted to let you know how much of a difference that your years of effort have made in my daughter's life. Krystal is doing well and now has access to so many resources that we wouldn't have even been aware of or otherwise have access to without your help. I don't know how we could have made it through this experience without you. It was the most excuciating experience I've ever been through. Without your support and the support of the entire Aitken Aitken Cohn Firm, I just don't know what we would have done. I will never forget all that you have done and will be forever grateful for everything.

There is so much all positive. I cannot thank Richard Cohn enough for believing in me and for fighting for justice. What I like most about the attorneys and staff was their attention, respect and the way they treated me. Everyone understood how I felt. Everything was above and beyond!

What I like most was the personal time Rich spent with my family making a point to greet us personally every time we came in. They never over promised things but they still delivered. This was the most awful event me and my son had ever experienced but your firm's actions made it bearable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I fell down my stairs in 2008. They were built incorrectly and not up to code. I sustained a neck injury and had to have surgery on my neck. I retained an attorney that I thought was going to help me but she didn't. I was very frustrated and disappointed so I did some research. I researched and contacted several attorneys in
Denver that handled slip and fall cases but was not satisfied with the initial phone conversations or actual meetings.
In June of 2010, I found Mr. Koupal on the internet and was impressed with his profile and credentials. I contacted Chris and set up an appointment to meet with him. I found Chris to be very knowledgable, professional, confident and a man of intregrity. Chris agreed to take my case and also helped me handle the dismissal of my other attorney in a very positive and professional manner. From that point on, he proceeded to research, investigate and move forward with my case. He kept me well informed almost on a weekly basis for over a year. Chris always emailed me back or contacted me by phone regarding the progress of my case. As a result from the neck surgery, I had accquired many medical bills that totaled thousands of dollars. I felt confident and at ease knowing that he was doing everything he possibly could to resolve and settle my case. Chris knew that I didn't want to have to go to trial and worked very hard to make sure that we would avoid going to trial. He had his work cut out for him as the builder had vanished which made my case more difficult and challenging. He managed to collect enough evidence to allow me to settle out of court and to reach an amount that I thought was acceptable and fair. I was very pleased with the outcome and would recommend him to anyone that needed a personal injury attorney. I have the highest respect and regards for him not only as an attorney but as a man who cares about his clients, his family and his practice.

Chris was introduced to me by Jim Chalat (Chalat Hatten & Koupal), who had originally met with me to gather the information and details about the case.
Chris, having been briefed by Jim as to the particulars, was immediately up to speed. He was very professional, thorough and knowledgeable as well as compassionate. His experience and expertise in the area of ski injury liability was very evident.
He always was extremely clear in keeping me abreast and explaining my options as the lawsuit progressed. My emails and phone calls with my concerns were always responded to quickly.
He obtained an excellent settlement for the circumstances that were involved. He followed up on the minor issues as well.
I recommend him enthusiastically without any reservations.

Jack Gordon was my attorney for the better half of 9 years. My civil case was complex and not without extreme difficulty, but Jack believed in me, he believed in my case. Not only does he represent what is BEST in attorneys he represents what's BEST in humanity. I always felt cared for, considered and listened too, and really felt like I had someone unequivocally in my corner that was going to fight for me. I would have JACK GORDON represent me for the rest of my life because he's good people and one hell of a trial attorney.

Jack Gordon of Maney & Gordon, represented me in what was one of the most difficult and heart wrenching experiences of my life; the wrongful death of my youngest daughter due to gross negligence on the part of a hospital.
Jack worked very hard and diligently for me and more importantly, for my daughter. He was so well prepared to try the case that he very much wanted to take the case to trial. As a preliminary step before trial, we entered mediation with the defendant hospital. Jack negotiated very persistently on our behalf and we were able to reach an agreeable settlement. Although no settlement could ever assuage the grief and sadness over the loss of my daughter, it did help to bring closure, knowing that those responsible for the negligence associated with my daughter’s death were held accountable and compelled to take responsibility for their actions.
I am so grateful to Jack Gordon for the genuine care, professionalism and manner in which my case was handled. I am very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Jack Gordon and his whole team to anyone that is seeking counsel from an attorney they can trust and depend upon to represent them. Jack is the perfect combination of compassion, honesty and tenacity and I am very thankful that he was in my corner.

Having known Jack for many years on a personal level, I immediately turned to him when I was faced with a serious legal matter in April 2015. I went to Jack because I knew that he was somebody that I could TRUST. I also knew that Jack was somebody who was very well versed in different areas of the law, and that he was somebody who would NOT be intimidated by the opposing "powerhouse" law firm in my case.
When I called Jack's office for an appointment, sensing my anxiety, he arranged to meet with me almost immediately. Jack had already reviewed all of my legal documents when I arrived, and he quickly put me at ease. Jack confidently explained the facts surrounding my case, and he patiently answered all of my questions and concerns. He also made clear that we would not be "bullied", and that he would do everything he could to help me. He told me not to worry and that he would handle everything. As my legal matter moves forward, Jack continues to keep me informed, answer my questions, and allay my fears.
Based on my experience, I highly recommend attorney Jack Gordon for anybody in need of legal counsel.

Jeff was referred to me by another attorney. He took my case, which was on on behalf of a family member who sustained an injury at a facility. Jeff's direction was spot on and his communication throughout the process was excellent. The results came out much better than I expected. A+ work!

Jeff and Barrett did an excellent job accomedating to my needs. It felt like a long process, but in the end they made sure I was taken care of. Car accident cases are no fun, but they did not provide me any stress. I am truly satisfied and will always recommend Downey.

Jeff is a first-rate attorney. He handled a complex fraud case for us that involved investor, as well as the State of Maryland fraud. Out of three attorneys, he was the only one that was able to discern key aspects of the case quickly. Jeff was able to bring the case to the attention of the attorney general. He is tenacious, thorough and highly competent. We fully recommend him.

I was with a previous firm before going to Michels and Booth! Adrian is an honest attorney! If I had any questions, and he did not have an answer, he would let me know find out the answer and contact me back! My case was a difficult case due to the previous attorney office's negligence! That attorney would stall, and drug my case out and extra6 months to a year in which it did not need to be! Adrian was very professional and reliable! My fiancé does not like attorneys and says they are all out for money! He really dislikes attorneys, however, once my case was settled, Adrian Bridges and Michels and Booth really showed us what their firm is about! This firm is wonderful and honorable! This would be my number #1 pick and would refer friends and people in a heart beat! Stephanie Joiner the paralegal that handled my cause was a sweetheart! You get to know these people and when your case is closed and done, your feel like your saying bye or see ya later to friends!

Mr. Allis was very communicative regarding his thoughts on my case. This was very helpful. It enabled me to identify certain questions I need to get answered, and helped me to focus on the relevant points of my case, and understand why certain questions, while significant, are not relevant to my case. I recommend a consultation with him

Hiring Nick Allis to handle my mother's case, was the best decision. A very fare settlement in my mother's case was reached in a very short period of time. Nick and his staff showed: Wisdom, knowledge and professionalism at all times. He guided my mother with so much care through the process, and always kept in contact with updates on her case, answered and returned phone calls when we had questions. I will definitely recommend and re-hire him if need be.

Tom Neary is truly a blessing to our family. I was referred to Richard by AVVO after searching for local attorneys in my local area. He agreed to meet with me that same evening at 3pm, then began representation for my rights in the case the next day. Tom also represented my son and daughter in separate cases that were ultimately successful.
There are few attorney's left that genuinely care about their clients. Tom has over 20 years of experience as an attorney in multiple states. He knows the legal system, and will protect your rights and fight for victory in your case.
Tom is amazingly thorough, he has continuously promised and delivered exactly as expected.
Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication Tom, you went above and beyond to win cases for my family over the past three years. You are a rare gem - we appreciate you more than you know!

I hired Tom after I was in a serious car accident. The other side was denying it was their fault and refusing to pay for my injuries. Tom represented me against the other driver through a long trial before a jury. He gave me information at every step and made the process understandable and less scary. At the end, we won and I got a fair verdict. I am very happy with the work he did for me.

When I had an accident that was not my fault, I was really unsure how to approach settlement with the insurance company. From my view, it was very complicated with loss of time at work, personal injury and car repairs. Thomas Neary knows how to quickly negotiate proper and fitting compensation and make things right. He is a man of integrity and truly cares for his clients. I would have no problem recommending him to anyone who requires legal representation. Thank you to the Law Office of Thomas E Neary for their help in my time of need!

We are foster/adoptive parents and when CWS would not let us adopt this child that wanted us to adopt her, we retained the services of Mr. Plavnick and it was amazing how he got us a court hearing right away and with his knowledge and expertise he was able to win the case without even going to trial and in a timely manner too! And everything he said he would do for us happened.

Midway through a "routine" adoption we found ourselves faced with changing Adoption department positions, biased caseworkers, and what felt like the world against us. With his strong sense of justice, keen knowledge of the law, and excellent relationships with the local legal and adoption communities, Gary worked with us through multiple court briefs and trials to finalize our adoption. Had it not been for his level-headed, no-nonsense ability to chart the logical course through very emotional waters, we surely would have lost our minds as well as our family. As it is, Gary is a legend in our house of fighting the good fight and standing on principle.

We were referred to Mr. Plavnick in 2013 by friends who had retained his services in about 2004 for their foster-adopt process. Their confidence in him gave us the assurance we needed to move ahead using his services to complete our California Independent Adoption. Our process should have been straightforward, but as these things go, there were hurdles. Throughout our case he was self-assured, but never arrogant. He was thorough in action and always respectful of our time and limited resources. At no time did we feel a tinge of regret for hiring him. He is personable and professional, and remains on our list when friends are in need of legal help.

Counselor Brantley Oakey overachieved my expectations. He demonstrated confidence throughout his representation of a Civil case relevant to Litigation, Estate and Probate Law. I was instantly comfortable with his direction and guidance based on his demeanor, presentation style and his credibility. Counselor Oakey provided me with consistent communications, advice and options. Without being specific, my money was well spent, without any regrets and led me to the best possible outcome. If you are looking for someone to represent your needs, look no further. Don’t hesitate.

We hired Mr. Oakey when the owner of a vacation house we rented sold the house before the end of our contract and tried to actually evict us personally. Mr. Oakey was able to keep the opposing side sane, no easy feat, and allow us peaceful enjoyment of the property. Highly recommend.

Brantley represented my interest in a divorce settlement. He is a true professional...he's calm, knowledgeable, and logical in his approach to family law. Amazing! His rates are fair and his work is succinct and efficient so his billing time reflects these efficiencies as well. You get money's worth and then some. I wasted thousands of dollars on a high profile attorney he did nothing but dance back and forth with another attorney with meaningless emails. He gets it done.
He was finally able to get my ex wife to come to the negotiating table and hammer out a divorce agreement. I highly recommend Brantley Oakey for all your family law needs. Simply stated: he's the best!!!

I want to begin by first thanking Attorney Cooper for being candid with me throughout the life of my case. Mr. Cooper was referred to me and what a great referral he has been. A man of great knowledge, experience, and steadfastness when it came to handling my case and making sure that I was kept abreast of all things related. Mr. Cooper and his staff have always been professional, personable and reachable. Attorney Thaxter Cooper and his team didn't let up until my case was resolved.

Responsiveness is such an important part of a legal issue. I have known Michael for more than 5 years. He is very concerned about YOUR situation. He puts his heart into comfort and reassurance. He is also very honest in what he thinks the outcome may be. He WILL NOT tell you what you want to hear in order to bill more hours. You will find that Michael has the ability to make your situation as his priority.

Ms. Schultz is “World Class" in terms of effective and experienced counsel. Especially on matters requiring local expertise and understanding the dynamics of the local court's personalities and processes. She knows exactly when to make a very pointed response to an argument - when bundled together all the traits you want from counsel (articulate, smart, tough, simply brilliant). Apart from professional expertise, she's extremely well rounded in a host of other ways that makes her a one of a kind attorney to be around.

No joke, this is the best lawyer you will ever see in a courtroom. Just brilliant. And it’s really fun to watch. I've worked with a number of attorneys, and been to court with attorneys in business litigations. I have seen Mary Schultz try cases off and on—a lot of lawyers and others in the court system come to watch when she’s there. Amazing presence. Never overdone. Not hard or demanding--She just gets people. You can tell she loves what she does, and who she represents. I can't convince Mary to represent me on our business matters, because she only wants to do medical cases now, but we're fans for life. Absolutely recommended. You’re going to trial? Without peer.

With prior knowledge of what to expect from a medical and legal aspect, I was convinced from the start that I had made the right choice with Fellerman & Ciarimboli. Every question and aspect of my case was handled professionally and with compassion. Attorney Corey Suda handled everything and responded promptly to all messages. In addition, I could always tell that Greg and Ed were involved.
I'm very pleased I put my trust in this firm.

I hired Atty.Fellerman due to a motor vehicle accident I was involved in suffering several injuries. From the time of the accident, Atty Fellerman and his staff addressed all of my concerns and treated me with compassion and respect. They handled all of my insurance questions and made the process very understandable, taking away the stress of litigation so I could recover from my injuries. In the end, I was awarded a just settlement for the injuries I received due to the hard work and dedication of Atty Fellerman. If anyone is looking into hiring an Attorney that will dedicate his efforts to protecting your rights and treating you and your case with dedication and respect, I highly recommend Atty. Greg Fellerman.

Greg did an awesome job on our case. My wife and I were not expecting much to come from a personal injury case that happened to my wife after hearing feedback from a few other lawyers in town.... but after Greg took over....the results were quite impressive. Not only did the case end in our favor...we obtained the maximum settlement available. I have no doubt that without the help of Greg .this would not have happened. They may not be the largest firm in town...but they obtained superior results and I would highly recommend them

I have only positive things to say about Andy. He made an uncomfortable situation bearable for me from beginning to end. He always addressed my questions and concerns in a timely manner, he was patient with me and helped me to understand when I was confused, AND he also kept me informed as developments occurred. He made me feel important and that I mattered. Of course I hope that I never have another situation needing a lawyer but, if I do, I would certainly reach out to Andy to ask if he would represent me again. Definitely would recommend him!

I have known Andy (Andrew) for over 30 yrs, when he first represented me in my 1st personal injury claim. I was then 18yrs of age. Andy was always available to answer phone calls, even when those calls were going to be contentious ( usually resulting in my anxiousness or uncertainty of the outcome of the case)/
Andy was always honest and forthright with his findings/information. I have often told him that he has broken the sterotype of a "lawyer" because he is a man/professional of Integrity, character and principle. Whomever is reading this review I can assure you that Andy will do two things for you:
1. Andy will be up front and realistic about your potential wage loss/recovery.
2.He will keep you informed every step of the way.

I highly recommend Patrick Kelley Family Law to anyone going through family legal matters. I called and spoke to his paralegal who was very friendly on the phone and pointed me in the right direction. I made an appointment with Patrick and he was very professional and caring. I never felt like I was just one of his clients but a real person going through a real event in my life that mattered to him as well. I was in a child custody case and he was very organized in getting all documents together and creating a great case for me. I personally had an out of state case and everything was done over the phone and email. Anytime I had a question or concern he was always available to speak to me or called me back within the same day. When going to court he knew all the right questions to ask and was prepared for the trial with no surprises. I feel like he was not only my lawyer but a part of my family. He always had a personal touch to our conversations to ask how everyone in the family was doing and was honest and true. If you need an attorney who cares for your matter and not just your money, I would highly highly recommend Patrick Kelley!!

I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Thomas Burnside III. He made sure I understood everything that was going on in my case & helped me make the right choice when it came to my settlement. My injury left me with large scars that will never go away and he was very sympathetic and understanding about how that's going to affect me now and in the future. He kept me informed about what was going on in my case and he worked diligently to make sure I was compensated for everything I went through, including loss of wages and medical expenses.. He was thorough and he worked fast so I didn't get behind with my bills while I was out of work. He truly is an awesome lawyer & I am so thankful for everything he did for me.

I had never been involved in anything court related in my entire 60 years. I got injured quite significantly & had no clue how anything worked. I am so glad Lauren was my attorney. It was like working with a friend who knew exactly what to do. She never acted like my zillion questions from start to finish were ever a problem no matter how scared I got she was my rock. I never waited more than a few hours for any answers to my questions and she usually responded within minutes! Her knowledge and expertise brought my case to an excellent conclusion. Although I hope I'm never injured again if it should happen I would without hesitation contact Lauren again.

I met James through my bankruptcy attorney
During the bank fraud forclosures in 2010. He assisted me to stay in my forclosed home for 5 years, to recover some of the financial loss I incured when the bank kept my escrow money through the forclosure process. I highly recommend Jim for any issues you may have. In addition I found him to be genuinely concerned with my well being. I also loved his sense of humor.
Thanks Jim
I appreciate you.

Linda helped me win a settlement against a pedophile that molested my child. She handled everything with care, giving me a chance to choose the path, informing me of the best options.
Her team handled everything with compassion, until it was time for the mediation. Linda was tough when she needed, had experience and knowledge in this field, referred my child to an expert that gave me a lot of input and greatly helped the chances of the case. I even walked away without signing a non disclosure agreement. I could not be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Linda Ross, she was an angel in one of the most challenging moments of my life.

After reading the reviews for Linda Ross, I did not want mine to be the same but the reviews for Linda Ross stated the facts I wanted to convey....
She is compassionate, her knowledge of the law is outstanding, and Linda does not back down. She has years of experience.
Linda helped me to receive the maximum compensation possible for my situation.
I am very pleased to have Linda in my corner and I would refer her to anyone looking for a very hard working intelligent lawyer with compassion.

Linda brings a great amount of expertise and understanding as well as a solid reputation as a lawyer who has gone to trial and stood up to large firms in the past with favorable results. She also can translate the legal goings-on so it's easy to understand. All of this was a great help in getting us a fair settlement without great deal of stressful legal proceedings.

I can’t thank John Lawlor enough for representing me and settling my case beyond my expectations! John proved himself to be an attorney I could completely trust. His knowledge, experience and professionalism, mixed with his kindness and genuine concern for me and my family, were greatly appreciated. Thanks to his expert critical thinking skills, it seemed we were always giant steps ahead of the defendants’ attempts to twist and turn my case in an adverse direction. Mr. Lawlor made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. My questions and concerns were always addressed quickly. Thank you, John, for going above and beyond the call of duty and working so diligently on my behalf. I highly recommend John Lawlor at Lawlor White and Murphey!

As far as attorney's go John Lawlor is an knowledgeable;e, professional and respectful as they get. Always patient and thoughtful, he makes me feel I like was the firm's top priority with %100 percent attention and focus. As someone who is fairly unfamiliar with the legal priority, I know the intimidation one fells when representation is required. In 2009 an accident injury scared the heck out of me. Mr. Lawlor made the entire process easy as far as making sure I had great medical attention needed at that time (AND in my future)as well as a GREAT SETTLEMENT! He was willing to answer any questions I had, and he ensured that I was aware of all the options i had in regards to the pros and cons of each decision. Since then he and his office still provide me ease of mind for other legal issues, keep in touch monthly via their monthly newsletter, and always invite me to their sponsored charity events. I truly feel like they are my family. This gentleman is top-notch and makes the whole process virtually painless and stress free. I don't hesitate when I ask his office a question some would consider too embarrassing to inquire a professional.

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.
