I’m so grateful to have found Larry. He secured us a 7 figure settlement when no other lawyer would even take our case. It was an extremely sensitive and difficult matter to discuss but he helped us through it with great compassion. I’m so grateful for his expertise and professionalism. And I don’t think anyone could have fought harder for us

I recently had the experience of working with Larry on a medical malpractice case, and I must say, he exceeded all my expectations. Finding a good lawyer can be daunting, but Larry made the process much more manageable. One of the things I appreciated most about Larry was his communication. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and he made sure I understood each step of the legal process.
Larry was able to break down complex legal and medical jargon into terms I could understand. His professionalism in handling my case was evident from the start. He was thorough in his investigation and left no stone unturned.
He also understood the emotional and physical toll the situation had taken on me and was incredibly supportive throughout the process. I highly recommend this attorney!

When my dad passed away unexpectedly due to a wrongful death. I was so lost and my heart felt so heavy and painful. I kept on saying to myself that my dad will still be alive if this is not a wrongful death. Then I decided to go online to search and browse for malpractice attorneys to fight for justice. I have attorneys turned me away or by speaking to them on the phone, they make me feel very uncomfortable and more lost. Finally and luckily I found Mr. Larry Deutsch, just by talking to him on the phone for the first time, he made me feel so comfortable and understand what we be going on for a wrongful death case. Mr. Deutsch was knowledgeable, honest, trustworthy, courteous, patient, kind and most importantly, transparent and managed our expectations. When we had questions, he will made sure himself available to answer in person or over the phone. He kept my family and I informed and understand through the entire process.
It was a long process, but Mr. Deutsch's work helped us obtain justice for my dad’s wrongful death and a settlement. On behalf of my family, I will highly recommend Mr. Deutsch. Also Mr. Deutsch and his office were a pleasure to deal with during an overwhelming process. Thank you for your service and I would recommend him highly.

I wish that I could give a higher than 5 star review. Thaddeus and Suzy Sikes are wonderful to work with and will always take your call and provide you with the information that you need in a way that is easy to understand. These people are dedicated to helping injured workers get the help they need, and deserve. I don't know what I would have done without them. Thank you so much!

I was involved in a hit and run accident. At
first I was hesitant about getting a lawyer, until my Insurance company started giving me the run-around. That's when I called Homa Molayem! Her team is simply amazing. I was always updated in a timely manor an I do believe, with all the new found knowledge given from her team I could become a paralegal. Seriously, they exceed my expectations!

Not like any other lawyers. I'm so glad I found Mr. Rich . I was actually referred to Mr. rich by several other attorneys in the area because I was told he is one fit he top in medical malpractice.

I entrusted Mr. Bily with a personal case that I had experienced, and he was absolutely fantastic, extremely knowledgeable in every facet and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Mr. Bily 10/10 to anyone, he really made the entire process easy and comfortable.

Mr. Bily is exceptionally professional, respectful, and knowledgeable about the law. He represented us in a car accident lawsuit and won us a sizable settlement that was beyond our expectations. During our case, he made sure to talk us through every step and action, so we always felt safe, educated, and confident in our strategy. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier attorney of the highest integrity in Pennsylvania.

Raymond Bily is undeniably charismatic and talented. He connects well with his clients, judges and juries. It was apparent that he made it his quest to get the largest monetary settlement for us, and that he takes much pride in his work. We were so happy that he could take our case, and it was a great relief to have him handle everything for us in a suit against a large insurance company that denied us payment. Raymond Bily returned our calls promptly and was excellent at explaining technical legal language and procedures to us. He gave us good advice and kept us informed about our case and what to expect as the case progressed. We could not have been more pleased with him and his very pleasant, and knowledgeable staff. Our case was resolved quickly, and we received a nice settlement. Raymond Bily served us well, and as a bonus, he is a veteran who has also served his country well.

Brad took the time to call me, even knowing that he wouldn't take my case because it was not cost-effective. He answered my concerning questions and informed me of my options that did not require an attorney. He also explained the most likely outcomes of getting an attorney and not having one. I felt a lot better after talking to him, even though he wouldn't take my case. His honesty regarding his price and the possible money return was appreciated! Hopefully, I never find myself in a similar situation, but if I do, he will be the first one I call. Thank you so much!!

Following a terrible hit & run car crash, I found myself in a battle with my own auto insurance company for a reasonable settlement. I feared I'd have to hire an "ambulance chaser" type attorney at a massive firm, so I was quite relieved and pleased to find Pat Quinn through a friend. It was a pleasure to work with Pat, start to finish. He was thorough, honest, compassionate and always put my best interests first. He was always my contact, not passing me off to less experienced, lower level associates. He also exceeded my expectations with the ultimate settlement both in terms of speed and amount. I would highly recommend Pat should you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a personal injury attorney.

I could not have been happier with both the outcome and my overall experience with Quinn Law Group. Pat Quinn is both personable and professional, and I would not hesitate to hire him again in the future. Legal matters may seem overwhelming, but Pat removed the stress from the situation and addressed my concerns promptly. After taking over correspondence with the opposing party on my behalf, Pat received a response within days after I had been attempting contact for over a month independently. The Quinn Law Group is my first recommendation to all friends and family looking for a reliable and effective attorney; I'm grateful the practice is located in our community.

I am very pleased to write this unsolicited review. I don’t normally write reviews but I do read them before making my decisions. I was the victim in an automobile accident. I was skeptical about what law firm to go with after looking at so many online ads. I was referred to Mark Kohl, of DeCaro Doran Siciliano Gallagher & DeBlasis. Mr. Kohl called me, introduced himself and set up appointment for me to come in to discuss my case. I immediately felt a level of comfort with him and his expertise to handle my case. He was interested in me, my well-being, me being made as whole in this situation. I tried listen and follow Mr. Kohl’s advice the best I could. He was thoughtful in his responses, kind but firm, reassuring and said just tell the truth. I listen Mr. Kohl and we were victorious. I would recommend Mark Kohl in the matter of accidents to anyone, he is through, expertly sound, and highly regarded in his field. Thank you Mr. Kohl.

He is extremely knowledgeable and will take the time to explain details being upfront & honest, while taking into consideration your thoughts and concerns to find the best strategy and outcome. Henry is a tough negotiator and a natural in the courtroom. Our company would not be where it is today without him.

I have known Henry Sneath for over a decade and have worked with him as co-counsel on two lawsuits. He is a fantastic trial lawyer. If I have a case in the Pittsburgh or western Pennsylvania area, Henry is the first call I make in order to associate him as co-counsel. Working with Henry Sneath is a true pleasure.

Henry is a fantastic trial lawyer from start to end. Henry served as outside counsel for my company while I was Vice President and Associate General Counsel at Varian Medical Systems, in a very complex and difficult patent litigation in Pittsburgh, Pa. Henry was superb at initial case assessment and strategy, with a strong command of the facts and the law. Throughout the case, Henry’s intelligence and strong analytic and practical skills ensured we stayed on top of all strategic and procedural considerations. Henry is easy to work with – I could always have frank discussions of details and strategies. Even in very difficult discussions, I could count on Henry to listen to my input with complete confidence he’d always give me his honest assessment, such that we could always stay focused on the job at hand. Even with all the “sausage making” involved in a years-long IP litigation, Henry would never lose sight of the big picture. Henry is excellent at eliciting testimony and cross-examining witnesses. He has a natural questioning and argument style that goes over well with a jury. I wholeheartedly recommend Henry for IP and complex cases without reservation.

Diego and his paralegal, Ashley, were on the ball with my husband's case from beginning to end. We were hesitant to get an attorney but insurance companies were proving to be huge headaches. We just didn't have the time or knowledge to handle it appropriately. So glad we went with Diego, he was amazing, very factual but also compassionate. I can't recommend him enough.

Kathy Brown was an amazing attorney at a very difficult time in my life. She went above and beyond for me and my family, more than once. She always treated us with respect and was very upfront and honest with us. Had I not had her as an attorney I do believe the outcome would have been very different. I am so thankful that she was put in our path at that time in our lives.

James Francis has helped/represented me in two cases (so far), and is one of the most dedicated, non-compromising attorneys I've had the privilege to not only meet, but work with. He is ethical, professional, conscientious, and works his tail off for favorable results. I was extremely pleased not only with the outcomes of the cases, but more importantly, the entire process. James communicated and explained status and happenings throughout the entire process, making me extremely comfortable, knowing what was going on and ramifications. He's now on speed dial if I should ever require representation again. James is not only a world class attorney, he's a world class, compassionate human being, and a real person. Call James to discuss your situation today... I can't vouch or recommend him highly enough.!!!

My case was a tough one, but fortunately, I had reems of documentation to help it along. Mister Francis knew I was a novice at this process, and pretty frightened as well, so he took the time to explain everything to me and how it would work. In the end, we did prevail, and Mister Francis made the process and the outcome more than satisfactory. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I ever do, Mister Francis is the first attorney I will call.

After my car accident there were so many question I had about how to handle the situation. I'm so glad I called Mark. I was hit in my car and had to be taken to the hospital. I ended up having to attend physical therapy for months which resulted in many medical bills. The person who hit me had insurance but I had no idea what to do to make sure everything got paid or what to expect them to pay me for pain and suffering. Mark made what could have been for me a very time consuming and stressful process and helped me understand it. He made sure I got a fair settlement from their insurance for my pain and suffering . My medical bills got paid, I got my settlement, and I didn't have to endure the stress and financial burden of doing it on my own. Thank you Mark for everything!

We had a personal family crisis when my dad was injured badly and my family was devastated. We'd heard great things about Mainetti, Mainetti and O'Connor so we called them. First of all we got a real person, even thought it was 8:15 pm at night. We met with Al Mainetti the very next morning, and he reassured us that everything was going to be okay. His manner was soothing and put my very upset dad at ease right away. Al walked us through tthe process and he even brought in his other lawyers to get their opinions too, which I thought was great. They are a real team. The whole office is calming! It's not like a regular law firm where everyone is stuffy. This put my dad's fears to rest. Al Mainetti and Joe O'Connor wound up getting my dad money for his injuries and it was over super quick. I love this firm and they did right by my family. I would trust them with my life in a heartbeat.

I have been a client of Mr. Al Mainetti for quite a
few years having been represented by him in different areas of law, never receiving anything less than the most honorable and poweful dedication that one could give. I truely am grateful for all that he and his staff have done for me. I may not be breathing fresh air nor riding my quad pain free had I not listened to the advice of my attorneys. I could never thank them enough for all of their time and dedication, and the comfort knowing first hand that when you walk into Mainetti, Mainetti, and O'Connor you will be treated like family and represented by the most aggressive and competent attorneys NY has to offer.

Questions? We have answers
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?
