Don has successfully represented us twice over the last thirty plus years but more importantly, he continues to provide me and my family with legal advice and valuable counsel. He often goes out of his way to help us and never disappoints.
Our professional relationship has grown into a trusted and treasured friendship... we feel extremely fortunate to have Don Hinkle in our lives.

I would highly recommend Mr. Hinkle to anyone who might be in need of a med-mal attorney. In my experience, Mr. Hinkle is highly knowledgeable and skilled in his area of practice, pays attention to details, is always well prepared and does an excellent job of maintaining communication with his client. I always felt informed as to what was going on with my case. As an attorney myself in a different practice area, I appreciated all of these attributes very much! Thank you Mr. Hinkle for your hard work!

Attorney Kenneth Bartlett's expert handling of my case resulted in a successful settlement I was extremely satisfied with! The injuries I sustained from being rear-ended resulted in complex medical issues and lasting effects. The insurance lawyers from the other side fought us every step of the way, but Mr. Bartlett did not give in to them and tirelessly fought for me. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and was always in touch to guide me though the twists and turns of the case. You will not find better representation anywhere and I am beyond grateful for all of Kenneth Bartlett's hard work!

I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude in reference to the telephone legal counsel that you gave me on several occasions. First, the workman's comp, then legal documents for a book deal.
Your dedication to your profession is truly astonishing. As well as your compassion in helping someone you had not met and were extremely generous with your valuable time.
In addition, I will not hesitate to recommend your service to whomever is in need of an outstanding, dedicated lawyer.

I met Tony almost 8 years ago when I hired him to do some legal work for me. Through the years I've found him to be a great lawyer, and a good man. That last part is important to me. He is well connected to his family, and to his community. He is not a billboard and late night infomercial huckster, that is for sure. In my industry I've met hundreds of attorneys of all types. Tony was the one I chose to represent me with my own case. Being in the personal injury/insurance industry I had my choice of people to use. I selected Tony not only because of the respect I had for him, but the respect the legal community, the judiciary, and most importantly the insurance industry has for him. He is a straight shooter and will call it as he sees it, even if he disagrees with you. He is not a game player, but is firm his in posture and position on cases. Working with someone in the industry is sometimes more difficult, and he did his best to talk me off the ledge a few times. My case was eventually brought to a great resolution, in no short order because of my attorney. I've not been a "client" of Tony's in two capacities, and I have nothing but good things to say. I've also referred my friends and family to him for criminal cases, real estate transactions, and most recently an case involving a young child. Pass right by the phone book, billboard, and television hucksters and know that your case will be handled in the best way possible, NOT just for a quick buck.

Mr. Black has provided a variety of legal services to my family and me over the last several years. I initially contacted him for advice relating to certain of my business matters, but more sought his services regarding a personal injury accident in which my daughter was involved. She was struck by a negligent driver while she was riding her bike on a city sidewalk. She sustained multiple serious injuries and required extensive hospital treatment and medical follow-up. Her claim against the other driver’s insurance company was resolved much to our satisfaction. Mr. Black has continued to help me with other legal matters and when my inquiries are not in areas in which he regularly practices, he has been very helpful in helping me to connect with other top professionals.

Gilbert F. Shelsby Jr. represented a close family friends that we consider family. In a very heartfelt and complicated case, his endless efforts and compassion were unlike any attorney. It was his amazing perseverance and diligence that completely changed our friends' lives for the better. This man went far above and beyond his title. It was refreshing to witness his ability as an attorney to be both extremely professional and kind.

Meeting with Scott to go over our concerns was a great experience. The entire legal team was very professional and took time to learn about our situation. The information they provided was far more than I could have expected and they went far above and beyond what would be expected.

I would choose Scott again without hesitation! In a stressful situation Scott brought reassurance, creativity, compassion, and confidence. He is assertive yet calm, which resulted in a win in my favor. He listens, and then acts. It’s clear he is an experienced trial attorney and is well respected by the court system.

I am beyond grateful for Jon and his great work in the lawsuit for my family. He was great to work with in all aspects of our very long and difficult journey. It is never easy to go through a lawsuit in which medical negligence resulted in such a negative outcome for the life of a family member. Jon was compassionate and caring throughout our entire journey. he was quick to respond, usually within a couple of hours, and always had an answer for all of our questions. I cannot recommend Jon enough. He will be a great lawyer for any client.

Jon was able to step into an emotionally charged issue and help me through it. He’s detail-oriented and also able to see the bigger picture. This business of medical malpractice is never easy, yet he handles it with care and concern. Jon was always on top of emails and other communication and I knew what was going on with my case almost as quickly as Jon found out hisself. If your case should go to court, rest assure that Jon is well prepared and ready to fight!
He’s truly worthy of praise!

I was injured in a car accident after someone ran a stop sign totaling my vehicle. I was treated at the hospital and various medical specialists for severe spinal and neck injuries. My life was turned upside down. Following the accident I hired Marci Ball Elordi to represent me. And I am glad I did. Marci stepped in and answered all my questions and handled everything for me. She was always in touch with me and treated me with respect and care.
Marci Ball Elordi carried me through my most difficult time. She was always available to discuss my case and gave me time to concentrate on healing. I would recommend Marci to anyone in need of a competent, honest and trustworthy attorney. I am very grateful and blessed to have had Marci Ball Elordi as my attorney.

During the time of loss due to injury caused by the negligence of others--the process of finding the best advocate can be an overwhelming and daunting task for those seeking justice for their loved one. With tragedy, this task seems almost unfair that one would have to go through this on top of everything else. I thank God that friends of mine who are also lawyers pointed me to the Maher Law Firm for help. Honest, Integrity, thoroughness, professionalism, expert, care and understanding are just a few of the adjectives to describe Steve and his team. They will get at the truth and deliver victory in holding those responsible to the consequences of their actions. For me, there is none better than Steve Maher. I highly recommend him.

I have known Steve Maher for 4 years. He represented my company in a very difficult Intellectual Property case in the Federal District Court - Orlando Division. Steve prepared vigorously for all eventualities. The Jury Trial lasted 6 weeks, he was excellent in Direct examination as well as Cross examination. Steve delivered a brilliant closing argument that resulted in a Jury Award of $25,000,000.00 Steve a is a very articulate, personable individual who makes every effort to understand the case and find brilliant answers. Steve has also represented my company in general corporate issues. I would recommend Steve in the strongest possible terms for anyone who wants a winning lawyer on their side on any legal issues. He is tireless when it comes to representing a client.

Steve Maher is compassionate and caring. He is a winner in every sense of the word. He is like a pit bull when fighting and will not give up or rest until justice is served. If given the choice, there is not another person I would want advocating for me or my family. Any defense tactics or attempts to not take responsibility for a wrong doing will be met with integrity and power probably not bargained for. Steve has the most incredible team and resources and ability. You can count on him to use the latest in technology and every tool available and every tactic to fight for you.

We live in another state and our local attorney wasn't licensed to practice in Arizona. Jim Goodwin was recommended to us by an attorney friend in Arizona as a competent Arizona attorney who could represent us in a slip and fall accident at an Arizona hotel.

Jim did a great job in a very tricky, complex case. He put a lot of effort in explaining what to expect, listening to my concerns, preparing me for depositions and updating me on progress. He is articulate, professional, well prepared and quite skilled. I felt assured I was in the best hands to represent and defend me. I was voluntarily dismissed from the litigation.

Unfortunately, it was determined that I wasn't geographically close enough to feasibly have my case represented by Ms. Zitano; however, the level of personal attention she showed to me, listening to my entire case with sincere patience and empathy, complete with professional insight and guidance was top notch and so appreciated. I honestly wish I was closer in proximity to have been able to have to Ms Zitano represent me, without any doubt.

The Smith and Zitano team were a Godsend. We had a tragic medical issue occur to our family. I had contacted numerous lawyers who basically had stated, our case would not have been economically feasible for them. However, from my first interaction with David and Elisa, I knew that they were not only experts in the field, but compassionate individuals. They had spent hours with my family and were the utmost prepared. It was such a relief to know we had them on our side. Even the other lawyers had mentioned how prepared and knowledgeable they were. In the end, we reached a decision that we were completely satisfied with. They treated us with great respect and helped us manage through these terrible times. I would recommend them 110%. They are the utmost professionals and I will be indebted to them forever.

I was fortunate enough to have Mr Huegli as my attorney during my DUI case. My case was difficult to prove because the police officer was not completly honest in his investigation and actually violated the law in order to charge me with a DUI. Mr. Huegli analyzed the events, the investigation and police reports and was able to determine what actually occurred. He then put a strategy together to prove this in court. I was most impressed with Mr Huegli's litigation and delivery during the trial. In the courtroom he was able to examine and cross-examine so that the jury could understand what actually happened. It was obvious that the police officer was not being entirely honest as Mr. Huegli cross-examined him on the witness stand. The jury deliberated for less than an hour and I was found "not guilty." I would highly recommend Mr. Huegli for legal representation.

I won't get into too many details about my personal case, however I can tell you that Todd knows the law inside and out. The D.A. tried to bring in a bunch of evidence that would have really killed me and Todd knew exactly how to handle it all. He did an awesome job keeping stuff out of the trial and in the end I was WAY better off having Todd on my side.
If you are looking for a criminal defense or DUI attorney, look no further. Todd is really nice, explains everything to you, and then is a machine in the court room.

I'm from CA, but had a little too much to drink while in Portland, OR and got a DUI. Todd defended me and did an awesome job. Todd did a great job keeping the DA honest and making sure they could only bring in evidence that was relevant. The details of my case were very involved and Todd did a great job making sure the inadmissible stuff stayed out of the trial. Overall, I couldn't recommend Todd more. He is a very nice guy, easy to work with, and understands the law very well.

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.

We were assigned a rather "old school" judge who limited how evidence could be presented. Mr Colleran did the extra work to make sure the jusry understood our circumstances.

I know to most that hiring an Attorney is a crap shoot , with loads of legal uncertainty concerns & questions, I was one of those people until I was introduced to Mr. Weiss and his professional concerned staff. During my Legal relationship with the firm I had numerous calls to them about my case which were returned within or less than 24hrs. My wife and I were always kept up to date with our case through e-mails,USPS and phone calls.
When I first met the soft spoken knowledgeable Mr. Weiss I felt he was sort of an easy going guy during our meetings in his office, but when it was time to face the defendent he was extraordinary,fully prepared and took no prisoners. Working with his legal team in court was also very impressive with there timely exchanges of documents and materials. One thing that was very important to me was the well being of my wife in court in front of a jury on the stand, Mr. Weiss and his team prepared my timid wife fully were she was confident, comfortable and relaxed at all times when asked to take the stand.
To conclude my review of Michael Weiss and his firm I would like to say I felt we had a friendship during our case and my wife and I just didn't fell at anytime that we were just another client. My wife and I also received 5 times more than we expected in our settlement.

I had one of the worst misdiagnosis which left me physically impaired for the rest of my life. I knew that I was done wrong by the Emergency Room I visited after they released me and I woke up the next day paralized. I had contacted Michael Weiss, who I had never spoken to before. I had left a message of what basically happened and to my surprise, he had personally called my back that same day while he was on vacation. I had liked his professionalism on the telephone way better than the other attorneys I had also spoken to. All I can say is that it was one of the BEST decisions I had ever made. He is well known in the industry, has kept me informed the entire time, is allways professional and has made a horrible situation for me be more bareable. I would reccommend him to anyone seeking an attorney for medical malpractice. Michael Weiss has given me a whole new look on attorneys. He's the BEST.

Immediately once we met it was evident that Ms. Mahoney held great integrity in her work. She communicated clearly and honestly at all times and balanced professionalism and personability in ways that helped me feel supported in an otherwise difficult situation with the college. As a scholar/academic, I would also add that she was a delight to collaborate with on the case. Her execution during the investigation hearing was diligent and attentive; I couldn't have asked for better representation.

I met with Kimberly in 2011 for a consultation on a divorce. She was very professional in appearance and manner. After I explained my situation, she assured me she would do everything in her power to meet my needs and she did. She cared about my needs and emotionally supported me. She took away my fears by stating "Let me do the worrying, that's my job." Kim guided me through the process every step of the way. The results were impressive and resolved in a timely manner. It all came out in my favor. I kept the house and all of my belongings. This result was undoubtedly all because of Kimberly Shields' professional knowledge of Tennessee divorce law and her hard work. All I can say is I would highly recommend Attorney Kimberly Shields. Thanks again Kimberly." - Lisa M.

Being hurt severely in an automobile accident where I was hit very hard from behind impacted my life more than I ever would have thought. My case, being that I was hit during working hours, was anything be cut and dry. Between Joe and Noreen, and the rest of his staff, I never once had to stress a single detail regarding my job, my medical bills, and this gave me the opportunity to focus on recovery. I would never hesitate to recommend, and of course use Joseph DeRita again, should the need arise for representation. I trust him, and his firm completely.

Joe DeRita is good at what he does, in fact, he is very good. He is exceptionally competent in the Personal Injury and Workers Compensation arena. Joe takes a real interest in his clients; he knows how to navigate the system, and he keeps his clients informed. Within a very short time of Joe’s handling my case, he was able to have my Workers Comp benefits re-instated at 100% and is currently negotiating a lump sum settlement. I feel very fortunate to have found the right person to represent me.
With litigation, you only get one opportunity to do it right – so do it right the first time and hire the expert - hire Joe DeRita.

Joe is a hard working lawyer who cares about you as a person not just another case in his files. He keeps you informed at all times and makes sure that your priorities are met. I highly recommend Joe and his team to take over any case. Joe also took a case on for my husband a few years back and worked hard to settle in a timely matter. Mine and my husbands cases did not drag on for years and years which was nice. Mostly Joe treats you like he would like to be treated which makes you feel more comfortable and confident during all procedures.

Mr. Petri handled a personal injury case for me several years ago. His investigators gathered the relevant evidence within hours after the accident. He fought like a tiger for me, and the insurance company settled shortly after he presented the evidence. Vern and his team did a super job.. I could not have been more satisfied.
On another occasion I consulted with him involving a matter related to an estate. He solved my problem quickly, and a his fee was more than reasonable for his professional advice.
I also worked for Mr. Petri as an expert witness with respect to economic damages from 1975 to 2005. I can testify that he is one of the best advocates a plaintiff can hire. He will take high risk cases that most other attorneys would not consider taking. By using the investigative skills he developed in the U.S. Army Intelligence Service, I have seen him uncover evidence that resulted in very large settlements and verdicts for his clients. I worked for Mr. Petri on two of those high risk cases that I believe no attorney in America could have done better for his clients. I recommend him without reservations to anyone seeking a plaintiff's attorney.

We Can not explain how blessed we are to have found Mr Petri ! My husband has sustained a lifelong injury due to malpractice. Mr Petri worked extremely hard non stop getting all the evidence he needed to get the case handled. It was constantly evolving with roadbumps from the other end but he never gave up. He always stayed in touch even if it was to just call & see how we were doing. He has a sincere heart for helping people....We are beyond blessed with the outcome... We gained so much more than just a lawyer in Mr Petri. He is our blessing, our Hero!

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
