Had a credit union mistakenly apply my payment 2 days later than I should have missing my statement and date. They said they fixed the mistake and I will see this correction on my next statement but the issue is it was reported to the bureaus with wrong amount prior to them correcting this. The amount is over $16k so this is making a huge impact on my credit score/utilization/total balances and ability to get approved for new credit. Well, I fixed my credit and got rid off my debts with the help of PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST whom a trusted friend recommended and he did a perfect job increasing my credit score to (801 TransUnion, 805 Experian, 807 Equifax) all credit card debts are marked as paid, public record, bankruptcy and hard inquiries are all gone. I’m so happy. I refer this great hacker to those who have a fixed date to fix their credit profile. Text PINNACLE ON +1 (585) 466 4373. Tell them Tricia Walton Referred you.

Jack and his staff made me feel that they were looking out for my best interest and were able to get the matter solved in mediation instead of dragging it out in the courts.

I have not hired this firm as of yet. I am seeking grandparents rights in regards to my granddaughter and the advise given by this office has been very helpful. As a result, I may be able to handle my ex-daughter-in-law w/o the trauma of a courtroom. If not, I will definitely seek the assistance of this firm. It truly felt that they are in the business to help as opposed to looking at the bottom dollar.

Today I learned that Brien had been successful in settling my personal injury lawsuit. My husband did all the work to choose Brien, out of dozens of well qualified attorneys he had researched. Having interacted with Brien for over two years now, I cannot think of one thing that he said or did that did not make complete sense to me. He was thorough, thoughtful, communicative, fair and in every way a top notch attorney. What stood out the most to me was his unwavering honesty. I would give him an A+ and would recommend him without reservation. If I ever have need of an attorney again, I would not hesitate to go back to Brien. He gives the legal profession the approbation that it deserves.

I hired the right guy. This case could have jeopardized my career. Mr. Roche provided me with expertise knowledge throughout the entire process. Without his guidance, I would have felt lost in the process and would not have received the judicial outcome that I did. He was able to meet with me the following day after I contacted him, within a week, and we hit the ground running. He was able to calm my fears and kept me organized throughout the entire process to get everything taken care of in a timely manner. Having a knowledgeable attorney with a calming demeanor navigate you through this process is very important and high recommend Mr. Roche to represent you! Thanks again, Brien!

I have know Brien Roche since 1992. I worked for his firm as a legal secretary at that time. I went on to work for other lawyers and in other fields as well. When my husband and I decided to split I called Brien because my work experience with him in had shown me how diligent he was in making sure that his clients were well represented. He has an amazing legal mind, pays attention to details and all angles that may occur for strategy. His fees are very low and the representation is superb. I am thankful and grateful that I have had him in my corner. My divorce went smoothly and at very minimal cost to myself and my ex husband. We both own businesses and the divorce could have become a financial nightmare if fueled by a lawyer looking to line his own pockets. His skill set and his get it done and keep the fighting down approach were in our best interests were key in a potentially emotional and financially explosive situation. His level head helped resolve the matter in a manner that left our credit, finances and the stability of our 3 children intact. He is hands down the best kept secret in the Northern Virginia legal field. I would use him for any legal issue. Hire him! :-)

Attorney Hankins is a man of standards and honesty. He is handling a personal injury case for my daughter. He has given her the upmost respect and has guided her in the right direction during this process. He has also handle another case for us and was very successful at getting the results we needed. I would highly recommend Attorney Hankins for any legal matter you may be facing.

Mr. Hankins has help myself with neurmous cases, all have turned out in my favor with cases being completely dropped or a minimal un-surpervised probation for a 1 year period to then after completion of probation the charges be dropped. These cases ranged from simple misdemeanors to serious charges which could have led myself to be labeled as a felon; although Tim's wittiness save myself from facing the ramifications of the courts. I highly recommend him and I still remember his number by heart for that un-foreseen instance I get another charge. He is a doer and doesn't poke around the subject and can make an officer even doubt himself/herself of what actually happened at the time of arrest. For example, I was 20 years old, 2 months away from being 21, and I caught an underage possession of alcohol charge while fishing, I blantely told the marine police officer I purchased the beer since he stated if no one owned up to it myself as well as my friends would all get a charge, in court the officer showed pictures of the beer in the rear of my truck bed and told the judge I had admitted to purchasing the beer, Mr. Hankins then went on to perceive the marine police officer to be a total num-nuts and cross-examine him in a way that made plenty of loopholes in the officers story. Then the judge ruled the case be dismissed and to the officer who wrote the citation as well as all of the other officers in the court at the moment were stunned at the verdict since I had admitted to purchasing the alcohol and it was in my possession.

I called Rex the day before I had court. I was in a panic because I had been talking to another attorney and not much was happenening. Rex stated that he would see me at the court house the next day. We chatted about the case for a minute and I was so relieved just by talking to Rex. He assured me that He would be there again. The day of court he was very professional did his job well and has continued to be a stand up attorney and eager to help me out. I am grateful for the opportunity I was given to speak with Rex. We still have some work ahead of us, but without a doubt in my mind he will do his best work for me.

Brent is an amazing lawyer with incredible expertise and integrity! I hired him to handle an extremely important case for me, and he was simply fantastic! This was my first and only dealing with legal proceedings and he was very patient with me during the process!
The case was settled in my favor with the results I had hoped for! I would hire him again immediately if I had a need for legal counsel! Fitzsimmons Law Firm is the best of the best!

While the insurance company said we didn't need a lawyer, I knew that I had to have someone to help us. Ted was this someone.
It took over 2 years, but thankfully it ended. And when it did, the Jury saw our case as it really was. When you need someone on your side to show the truth, call TED, he's the one.

Melissa Luce settled two cases for me and was able to obtain awards in both. She was there for me over the years of grueling litigation with the upmost of kindness, caring and understanding. There are no words that can express my gratitude for her professionalism at a difficult time in my life. Any one would be thrilled to have her represent them. I only have the highest praise for her and her ability concerning the law.

She made me feel at ease and like I would not be afraid of the questions I may be asked. She had a very calming effect on me which was gratefully appreciated.

Jennie did a phenomenal job in representing me on a tricky speeding case. I was pulled over on the end of a downhill slope for going 90+/70 and headed for a reckless driving conviction which could have had serious consequences for me. Jennie understood what was at stake and from the beginning had very thorough explanations and always made my available options clear to me. She tried to make a plea bargain with the prosecutor who would not accept it, and so she suggested that we tried the case in front of the judge. She laid out the facts very clearly and built up the case to the judge in a terrific manner. In the end the judge agreed with her and decided to reduce my charges to a speeding ticket. I can't say enough how grateful I am for her work. It was amazing and I am SO glad I contacted her. Thank you Jennie!

We could not have asked for a better experience than we had with Ms. Crawford. She explained everything thoroughly, following up with email and postal mail. She gave great advice, was very polite and sincere, and things moved easily and smoothly for us. I would highly recommend her and, if needed, would absolutely use her services again ! Pat and Brenda

Jennie is a life saver for my driving record in Virginia. If it wasn't for her, I may not have my license right now. Covington may be a pretty small town, but they still have strict and frequent patrolling by State Police and Local Enforcement, specifically on the Interstate for anyone that knows the area. Nonetheless, I was pinned for a 80/70 that was reduced from an 84/70 on the spot by a friendly and forgiving Officer. Jennie worked with the Commonwealth Attorney directly to allow me to take a driving safety course and avoid negative points on my record by reducing it from a speeding ticket to another type of infraction without damage to my record. She completely got me off this first time and then, flash forward close to 3 years later it happened again, only worse at 90/70, and I thought for sure I was done for considering the Officer did not cut me a break whatsoever. I thought to myself "My luck has finally run out" but she managed to get it dropped to a regular speeding ticket and avoided a misdemeanor on my record and other severe implications caused by a reckless driving ticket/borderline intent to kill ticket (Virginia does not mess around with Speeding).
In both instances, I did not even have to attend the court hearings (luckily so as I am not from that area and can't afford to miss work). PLEASE Do not hesitate to contact Jennie as she will work until you are satisfied and do everything in her power to limit traffic ticket complications. Thank you Jennie.

Michele Bartoli Cain and her team work tirelessly and relentlessly on a case, adhering to all the standards and protocols of her profession. She compiles all possible evidence and prepares her clients and witnesses well for potential trials. She doesn't rest until the work is completed to her high standards.

I want to advise anyone who has ever dealt with a law firm, that Bartoli-Cain Law was , to me, the most aggressive and perfect firm regarding my case. The knowledge of the dental procedures performed on me was unbelievable. Michele was prepared for any question or problem that was handed her. She was not only knowledgeable with the subject but treated me like a person and always very sensitive to my needs. I would recommend the firm of Bartoli-Cain to anyone who is seeking the "Best".

If you are seeking a top-flight attorney to handle a dental malpractice suit, I strongly recommend you consider Michelle Bartoli-Cain. When I first considered filing suit for a dental injury I discovered Michelle and was immediately impressed by her professional approach to my situation. She thoroughly researched the unique aspects of my case and began a well planned approach towards achieving a favorable settlement with the defendants. I was aware that most suits settled prior to trial; however, my confidence grew with the realization that Michelle was prepared to go to trial should that have become necessary.
As time passed I was referred to several expert witnesses who supported our assertion of negligence and characterized Michelle as a "tenacious bull dog" who probably knows as much or more about dental implant injuries than most dentists. As expert after expert expressed their very favorable opinion of Michelle's abilities I became more and more confident that we would prevail at trial or extract a generous settlement from the defendant.
My faith in Michelle's abilities was substantiated time after time as I watched her during depositions. It quickly became apparant that she knew every aspect of my case and was much better prepared and considerably more knowledgeable about nerve injuries than the defendant's attorneys.
Ultimately, my case was heard by a former Virginia Supreme Court Justice during non-binding arbitration and we prevailed after several days of negotiations. I received a very favorable settlement that included nearly all of my expenses and a six-figure award. It was a lengthy battle but at every step of the process my spirits were buoyed by Michelle's calm and professional approach. I can wholeheartedly recommend Michelle and support several professional publications' assertions that she is one of the best dental malpractice attorneys on the East Coast. Should you hire her you won't be disappointed.

Lance Garner is an amazing attorney. There is not enough word that I can put to be very grateful for his help.
I had a big car accident in June 2018; I almost lost my life because of a careless driver that crushed my car to rush to the gas station. I suffered a lot from this accident, been through so many medications and treatment, mentally so stress, and financially been rough. With so many going on in my life, I didn’t have any more power and energy to deal with the person and insurance that responsible for all of these. (This case is almost 3 years; you can imagine how frustrated I am)
I pray to God, and I really thank God that he sent me the best lawyer to handle my case. Lance Garner worked so hard to handle my case and kept fighting diligently. He is very professional, honest, no sugar coating, helpful, and smart. The most important is that he is someone that I can trust and respect.
He worked beyond my expectations; he solved my case quickly and got the best settlement for my right.
Finally, I can breathe freely, been suffocated by this case for almost 3 years. I couldn’t thank enough for Lance Garner. I would highly recommend him to any who needs an amazing remarkable attorney.

I had the good fortune of being given Ann Jones' name from someone within a state agency about 8 years ago. I contacted her immediately and from that first phone call knew that she was going to be a powerful part of my daughter's "team". She was and continually is there for us whenever I contact her about something that just doesn't seem fair for my child. She is so caring, knowledgeable and will assist in anyway possible. I recommend her to everyone I come in contact with who asks about legal advise. She is strictly out for her clients and make sure they receive what they are entitled. Thanks to her always for being there for us!

I had the good fortune of meeting Ann Jones when I was trying to navigate the difficult and unnerving issues of filing a claim for admission in to the Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Program. Initially she would not accept my son's case but did so after determining that even though it would be the most difficult birth injury case she had represented she knew he had in fact suffered a birth injury. Ann is the most knowledgable and hard working attorney I have ever known. The clients she represents are not just clients. As a result of her dedication and hard work my son was awarded benefits and now has the lifelong promise of the medically necessary care he will need.

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.

It's nice to have someone genuinely care about what you're going through. I haven't found that in a lot of attorneys. I appreciate that I'm not just another person in the turnstile. When you're going through a hard time, almost nothing matters more than finding someone who actually cares about what you're going through and uses that passion to fight for you.

We hired Richard Gallone after a work related auto accident. Richard is very well educated and knowledgeable in his profession. He is very personable and yet very business oriented at the same time. He was right there for us from the very first time we met with him. We've hired other attorneys in the past but they were nothing like Richard. Anytime we called, he would either be right there to answer our questions or if he wasn't available at the time he would always return the call. That in itself was a huge difference. If you want the job done right, Call Richard Gallone We will recommend him to everyone we know.

Dan came highly recommended by my physical therapist back in 2011 when my wife and I were involved in a hit and run collision. Dan communicated with us in a thoughtful and caring manner, and demonstrated that he is a very professional, personable, and honest individual.

I highly recommend Dan Kilpatric if you require the services of a highly competent attorney.

After working with Dan Kilpatric on a recent personal injury case, I felt I needed to share my experience on here for others to consider if they are looking for a highly professional, ethical, and extremely trustworthy attorney to represent them in any sort of personal injury case. Dan was always very communicative and informative throughout the entire process, and I always felt that my representation by him and his office was in great hands. I had previously utilized Dan's services in a situation years earlier, and I never hestiated or bothered shopping around for another attorney this time around in my recent situation. I just called Dan back as I knew he would do everything he could for me as was the case before! He did! Great attorney, and a great guy all around who is highly reccommended!

Dan handled a personal injury case involving my father. I can't recommend Dan more highly, he was very professional and so patient with my 86 year old father, which led to a favorable settlement. As the former Senate Majority Leader in Washington, I was familiar with lots of first-rate attorneys. After checking around with trial attorney lobbyists, his name kept coming up. I'm so glad we hired Dan to represent my father. He did an outstanding job under very difficult conditions. I would certainly recommend him, and use him again in the future (hopefully I won't need his services). If you're in need of a personal injury attorney, do yourself a favor and hire Dan Kilpatric!

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.

Mr. Albukerk is an incredible lawyer who persisted through my son's difficult murder case. He worked hard and took all the detail evidence into consideration. There are only good things to say about Mr. Albukerk, my son is free because of him and I'm eternally grateful for him!

Albukerk more than anything listens! He is the only lawyer to win a case of Medicaid or Medicare fraud in the Chicago area and also to win the release of a man falsely accused as a sexually violent person who had been jailed for 30 years. He gets in there right away and preserves evidence of your innocence. If you are guilty he has the experience and knows the prosecutors and judges and how to get you the lowest possible sentence on a plea bargain. The only negative is that he tends to be blunt about worse case scenarios - but I believe that is only a matter of informing you honestly of the fact that the courts do not necessarily follow the law and juries and judges do not necessarily go by the evidence. There is far too much politics and prejudice in the courts and in juries. He is about as good as you will get and his prices are moderate. My family has used him for a collections case, for criminal defense, and I have watched him help friends with divorce cases and police excessive force cases.

I was recently in a difficult--and frankly, scary--dispute with my landlord, and initially felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the situation. I talked to a number of attorneys, including several of the more well-known tenant's rights firms in the Bay Area, many of whom gave me the run-around, or agreed to handle some aspects of the case but not others.
I'm very grateful that I finally connected with Jason. He took on the entirety of the case, and developed an overall strategy to navigate the complexities of the situation. He handled the case with great skill and competence, and brought it to a very positive conclusion. He's a clear, strategic thinker, fair-minded, and not intimidated by the bullying tactics one encounters in these situations. And he really is just a good guy, and treats his clients very fairly and honorably.
If you find yourself in this kind of situation, look him up!

I was recently in a difficult--and frankly, scary--dispute with my landlord, and initially felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the situation. I talked to a number of attorneys, including several of the more well-known tenant's rights firms in the Bay Area, many of whom gave me the run-around, or agreed to handle some aspects of the case but not others.
I'm very grateful that I finally connected with Jason. He took on the entirety of the case, and developed an overall strategy to navigate the complexities of the situation. He handled the case with great skill and competence, and brought it to a very positive conclusion. He's a clear, strategic thinker, fair-minded, and not intimidated by the bullying tactics one encounters in these situations. And he really is just a good guy, and treats his clients very fairly and honorably.
If you find yourself in this kind of situation, look him up!

Mr. Cory Lapin was extremely helpful in negotiating a hospital bill based on me and my fiancés behalf. A few months back, I rushed my fiancé to the hospital for excruciating stomach pain, and after a normal blood test and pain killers, they wanted to discharge her. Being in the medical field I did not find this acceptable, and upon further investigation, she has an a emergency appendectomy. Mr. Lapin helped formulate a well thought out letter professionally explaining the entire situation and why we should not be liable for such a hefty medical bill, and a few days later our bill was cut by 80%. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Lapin; I highly recommend him.

Jon handled my medical malpractice claim. He is extremely knowledgeable and able to communicate the laws, process and options clearly so that a lay person can understand. Early on he developed a strategy to handle the case, explained it to us for our concurrence and executed it to a tee. He is aggressive but looks for a satisfactory resolution without necessarily going to court. His extensive background in this area and innumerable contacts in the field made the process relatively painless. He and his staff (Missy) were always available to meet with us or to discuss things over the phone. As we proceeded through the process Jon kept us advised of what was happening even as things moved slowly thorough the system. One of my fraternity brothers is a lawyer who handles medical malpractice cases for hospitals (essentially Jon's opponent). When I asked him about Jon he said "he is one of the good guys". Enough said

Jon Brassel was my attorney for a wrongful death case. My husband died from aortic dissection, that could have been prevented. Jon came from his office in Annoppolis to Salisbury to meet with me. If I had to use only two words to describe Jon they would professional and companionate. You need both of those qualities when in a situation such as mine. I was 36 years old, our son was 8, devastated would be putting it mildly.
When we met he had some information I sent him. I was afraid I was going to break down at this meeting. He ask questions, let me tell my story, and with his professional and compatiante manner I got through it. Leaving that day feeling hopeful. When I would get updates from Jon he explained process and laws and circumstances and made sure understood. If I didn't I never felt rushed, if I had questions. We went to deposition, the doctor sat in the room, his two attorneys and a recorder. I did not feel intimidated, I was comfortable with Jon being on my side of the table. Some time later we closed, we won. I went to his office I met his team of professionals who worked on my case.
I still contact Jon from time to time and have sent pictures of life events. I consider him my friend. He gave me strength, hope and confidence. He is the reason I was able to carry on and live my life without financial burdens. I am so thankful to have found him to represent me.

Jon recently settled a product liability lawsuit in our favor. Jon's immense experience with these types of cases and overall knowledge of the court systems and various national law practices was vital in the successful completion of our lawsuit. We felt extremely educated about our position and satisfied with the completion of our lawsuit. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone who is injured due to someone else’s negligence.

Peter did an excellent job reviewing and handling my case. He was clear and honest regarding the legal climate and chances for a satisfactory outcome in court, in mediation and in general which is very refreshing. He also took the time to walk me through the process so i knew what to expect so I didn't feel lost or intimidated.
Even though I hope to never experience another personal injury in the future I would not hesitate to call Peter again if I had to. He would definitely be my first call to make sure I knew my rights.

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.
